Just sunk in, reading Shearer's Wikipedia entry: Teams managed 2009– Newcastle United

What's his title gonna be Temporary Interim Interim?

Better to listen to the media than make uninformed rants with a chip on your shoulder.

Bent has 10 league goals this season, better than Owen, and only 5 behind the premiership's top scorer. Bent hasn't started nearly as many as Owen either Is Capello laughable? because he clearly agrees with me. Owen has failed at international level post 98. He's chipped in with a few goals in friendlies but where it matters he hasn't delivered. He's England's 6th choice striker now, and rightfully so What a gigantic load of BS LOL So Owen didnt take part in that 5-1 win in Germany when he got a hattrick. He didnt score any goals in qualification for the 2002 world cup did he. He also didnt score against Brazil in a game during the world cup that we SHOULD have gone on to win had it not been for Ronaldinho and Seamans awful level of vision. Atleast try to back up your pointlessly illogical hatred of Owen with the smallest hint of a half decent argument. The ironic thing is Owen game has suffered with numerous injuries which Ronaldo now criticizes a great deal - ignoring the fact Owen is in a very very poor team, yet the player in his picture hasn't been the same player for a hugeee number of years for very same reasons. Which he will probably now try to defend. Shearer was never the same player once he got injured but he adapted his game to become a more rounded player. I agree that Owen is not the same player he was in 1998 but his record speaks for himself. He will score goals when playing in a decent team and he also creates chances and links up play well. My issue is not with his scoring and play but with his general attitude. He clearly is not match fit, has been out for some time and there are reserve teams going on. Danny Guthrie came back last night in the reserves, was hungry and has now got minutes of play in his legs. Where was St Michael? If he wants to play for England and wants to get back scoring goals he should be in the reserves until sufficiently fit. Shearer had the brains but more importantly the physical stature to be able to change his game.Owen has not,and a blind man on a galloping horse could've predicted that once Owen's speed had gone then he would be nigh on finished as a top level striker. During Keegan's reign Owen was something like the 3rd most prolific striker in the PL, so that argument isn't really true.

From what I remember, Shearer's "on-the-field" captaincy mainly just consisted of glaring or shouting at his wingers when they didn't put the ball on a plate for him. I agree, Shearer is the worst player in the club's history. I've gotta disagree with this to be honest.

Was that when Dabizas got sent off in the 3rd minute? Was 5-2 actually. Dabizas was sent off in the 5th minute, doesn't really excuse the result though.

Got beat 5-1 against Blackburn as well didnt we?

Yeah, I was gonna say, without wanting to sound really racist , it does look good for an African team. Yeh i was thinking like http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/1599/im000733.jpg this I assumed that's how all Africans dressed.

wow...where did you hear that?

Serious? He's scored 36 goals since '98 (23 in competitive games).

"The colour scheme is rich brown tones and even a bit of snakeskin – a lot less tacky than it sounds – and the walls are covered with a gritty, slightly sparkly, textured paper." Sure it is love.

Yeah, did nowt.

I forgot it was allowed. We play like a netball team, only certain players allowed to score.

Quality goal.

Adjei on.

Cacapa. So bad.

What? Old and knackered? Nah. Just his body stance and hair colour.

No.4 for us looks scarily like Nicky Butt from a distance.

This is his level. Check out his exploits in the Segunda División his stats say he was lethal there as well. 9 goals in 25 games in La Liga as well, seems to indicate his level is a bit higher than reserves. There is no denying last season he had a good 7 days when he scored 3 goals against the woeful Murcia & then 2 the following weekend. So, yeah, he's reserve standard guaranteed.

Guthrie chips towards byline, Tavernier on the volley puts it into the six yard box, Donidger slides in and scores. Godsmark not Tavernier Ah, yeah. Doninger not Donidger as well. :colo:
