SiLvOR Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 He's absolutely right there, but why did he initially say his phone had been stolen? Cos he's just as much of a pussyclart as Shearer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Shearer got 19 goals that year. Most of which were in the UEFA Cup tbf... 7 in 26 starts in the league with 19 in 40 starts overall. Quite sexy for someone with no legs imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite sexy for someone with no legs imo. 4 goals from open play in an entire league season is sexy for someone the whole team rallied around? The defence was crap but so was Shearer by then.

Hughesy Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Bellamy - what a wanker. Come back when you stop beating up women and have scored more than 13 goals in a Premiership season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Quite sexy". 7 in 26 is just under 1 in 4 which is alright all things considered. Cisse was over 1 in 4 last season by way of comparison. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The thing is Shearer could have been a very useful player towards the end if used a bit more sparingly. Every time he was on the bench there was a load of commotion though and as much as I respect Shearer for giving some of his best years to us and know he just loved playing football, that always irked me a bit. Great leader on the pitch at the peak of his powers and otherwise mind, which was important to us. Under Robson we had leaders dotted around all over the pitch.

Crumpy Gunt Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Club would have been in better shape if we had binned Souness and Shearer instead of Bellamy. The tail wagged the dog for at least 2 seasons too long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Bellamy's never been about prolific goalscoring, doesn't stop him being one of the most effective forwards we've ever had. Signing him and Robert took us to another level, from 13th-13th-11th-11th to 4th-3rd-5th in fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Bellamy was devestating in his first two seasons for us. Prime example of why looking at stats often tells you fuck all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Pre-finished as a winger) Jonas and Robert are such polar opposites like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
