I was just questioning your logic. You can't make the second statement that they will be comparable if you admitted in your first sentence that you don't know how good Shearer was. How do you know when Carroll has reached 'Shearer's' standards if you don't know how high that standard is?  If you can't grasp such basic logic, then let's not continue!

 

I said that I didn't know how good Shearer was at 22/23. Of course I'll realise if/when Carroll as good as Shearer, as I've seen Shearer play at his peak. Read what I said originally, then look at what you are being a pedantic fool about.

 

Such a pointless discussion.

 

Now you've gone and confused yourself. First you say that you don't know how good Shearer was in Southampton/Blackburn and now you're claiming that you know how good Shearer was at his peak. Well many would correctly argue that Sharer was at his peak during his Blackburn years + Euro 96 hence the then world record transfer fee. Make up your mind man! I'm not being pedantic, you're just contradicting yourself and not making much sense. 

 

alpal is 100% correct. shearers peak was pre-NUFC due to the injuries he sustained later - had he never had them and signed for us we'd have won the title imo as a 100% alan shearer at 26/27 would have been unstoppable

 

as it is we have to look back on what he did at blackburn and lament - he was quite simply the perfect english striker - carroll will never come close colocho, sorry as much as you hate MA, he simply will never come close to a young shearer

Poll reset.

 

At first glance, seems pointless...

 

But then...

 

No he shouldn't as he's not good enough.

(Tooj - I was in the same camp, to be fair.  Hindsight is a bitch.)

On second thoughts I don't even want to post it. I'm not that much of an arsehole. It's pretty obvious if you know the area.

 

And about not having any footballer type houses in the village, theres a house there bought by a sheik for his white mistress he impregnated and then paid off. There are some stupidly expensive houses in South Wylam

I know there are some big expensive houses especially in South Wylam but not ones that I would personally associate with footballers - that's all I meant.

After the military I crossed straight over the top of the A69 to take the narrow road down to Wylam - which is near where my place is. The big house I saw was on my left just after you make the turn off the military road onto that narrow road that eventually takes you down to the large roundabout.

ALAN PARDEW still believes Newcastle United had no choice but to sell Andy Carroll once the No 9 asked to leave in January.

 

The fact it was Blackpool, not Newcastle United, fighting for their lives at Bloomfield Road perhaps supports his argument.

 

Both clubs saw their star players hand in January transfer requests, but while Andy Carroll’s was accepted, Charlie Adams’ was turned down.

 

Pardew said: “What made the decision for me was Andy saying he wanted to leave.”

 

Tangerines manager Ian Holloway was praised by some for holding captain Adams to his contract, but seemed to be regretting the soap opera it caused last week.

 

When Blackpool won 2-0 at St James’ Park in September, they were fourth in the league and on the crest of a wave. Playing Premier League football for the first time, they were doing it with a smile on their faces – and upsetting the odds.

 

Both newly-promoted sides established themselves in the top-half before Christmas. However, yesterday’s match at home to the Magpies was Blackpool’s first played from the relegation zone.

While Newcastle have coped reasonably well with Carroll’s £35m move to Liverpool – a decision Magpies fans are still split over – Blackpool went into yesterday’s game on a run of one win in nine since the transfer window shut. After the 3-1 defeat to Wigan Athletic, Holloway hinted at the reasons.

 

He said: “We have to dig in, stick together and fight.

 

“Since January we have not had that. I wonder why.

 

“I wonder what happened in January? I could have done without January.”

 

So could Pardew.

 

He said: “My assessment of Charlie is his game has not changed too much since January.

 

“He is still very, very important to Blackpool, but the team is perhaps not as efficient as it was.”
