He had much more pace than skill and was very injury prone. I think our judgement is clouded because of the fact that those were better times for us.
One of my least favourite players from that era. He was frightening for opposition players, mind.
Spot on HTT. Shearer is one of the few ex players we have to make positive contributions in the press. He's got the BBC cornered. We need someone at Sky to fight our corner.
Statistically it's incredibly unlikely that they will escape the drop. It would take a major upturn in form, along with other clubs to start flatlining.
So if they don't perk up soon they will be past the point of no return.
Palace (might just be too late), Swansea (look shite) and West Ham (unless they sack off Bilic soon).
Bournemouth and Huddersfield are in the frame too.
It would be a no brainer for Ashley to bail out a shite championship club with money problems, in order to get them promoted and flog them for a better price after he's milked the advertising.
He's a greedy cunt who has caught whiff of some real oil-laden cash. He might never get the chance to make his money back. That's the only reason why he wants out.
If they have 500m available for transfers, I'm guessing an extra 100m to buy the club might not be difficult to find.
Not that I believe the 500m thing.
