So insane that it could only be true.

Not charismatic? This man could exude charisma just by staring into space

I feel like he'll be back unless he leaves voluntarily (which I think would be a possibility if Shearer did well and the fans were in an uproar to keep him on.) We've already seen to what extent the club are willing to do weird and crazy things to keep their precious Saint Kinnear on board.

This is the first time I've heard Dowie speak, and to be honest, this is not how I imagined his tone of voice would be like

"If Michael is fit he'll start on saturday."

The club have already made plenty of criminal decisions, seeing Shearer off and bringing Kinnear back would be exactly at their intelligence level.

Come now, have we now gotten to the point where we strawman people before they've even opened their mouths?

I still wouldn't put it beyond Ashley to let Shearer go and reinstate Kinnear if we stay up.

out of love... i know i will get lambased for this, but if keegan loved the club so much, why did he leave it in the mire he did, and why is he suing the club for compensation shows that shearer is a proper man, and is willing to put difference's aside to save the club from relegation top man This is something a lot of people have been arguing form the moment Keegan left, and it's only been made even more clear by Shearer's actions. He's shown us what a real legend does.

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL TOTAL FUCKING FLUKE!!! ...

Looks like 0-0 again. Have to give them credit, they've mastered the art of getting their asses in front of every single cross or shot.

Fuck me we always have such a ridiculously hard time against this lot.

Cracking atmosphere. Used to piss me off back in the 90s when they wouldn't allow fans to do any "offensive" chants when we were playing the genocidal bastards.

Will there be blood? Only if I start banging my head on the wall out of boredom. North Korea are the Bolton of Asia and they up their game when they're against us. The Korean "derby" always end up being a snoozer.

South Korea v. North Korea starting up...

Shearer v. Hiddink, my two biggest heroes pitting wits against each other Let's scrap a result here and get the fucking show on the road!

How many points off are we from Europe again?

I'm hopping on the avatar bandwagon.

any other response to this news is just heretical really.

Spot on, sometimes you have to roll a hard six. Ours is called Alan Shearer.

Shearer's coming in to clean up the mess Keegan made. [/titaniumhat]

Fucking ridiculous this club. Whenever I'm about to slip into apathy they pull some shit like this

Imagine if it's still an April fools Imagine if we stay up and Ashley lets him go and brings Kinnear back next season

At the very least this should put to bed all the "Shearer doesn't really love the club, he'll only come in when we're comfortable mid table and offering a fifty gazillion pound transfer budget" shit. My respect for the man just doubled. If that was even possible.

Just saw this on Kaizero's facebook status and dashed on to the board If this is an April Fool's (worst holiday ever) pisstake, I'm firing a rocket at SSN.
