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. 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. "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. It's a crap record and you know it. He had the likes of Kluivert, Bellamy and Robert around him, man. Kluivert started 15 games, Robert 20 and Bellamy 21. Plus Souness. http://www.nufc.com/html/2004-05app-goals.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 And he managed to bundle in 4. Quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Still love Bellamy. What a player he was for us. It seems Shearer wasn't and isn't the easiest person to deal with, neither was Bellamy. Their indifferences do not surprise me nor do they interest me. Blaming the defence etc. in that semi-final however is ridiculous. We were outplayed by a far superior team during a season in which pretty much every team outplayed us. A typical Souness performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 And he managed to bundle in 4. Quality. If that's a reply to me it doesn't make any sense. "He had these mint players around him" "Well he didn't really" "So?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 He quite clearly did have quality players around him, as you've just helped to demonstrate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 He quite clearly did have quality players around him, as you've just helped to demonstrate. The midfielders with the most appearances were Bowyer and Jenas. 7 in 26 + 19 in 40 overall. Quite sexy. All things considered. Bye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macphisto Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm surprised that two people who had a really close mate in common (Speed) don't get a long better than they do. Not saying they have to be best mates because they both knew Speed but at least be civil to one another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I've thought/said that too. Fault very much on both sides, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Geordiesned Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 The stuff from Bellamy about LuaLua shows LuaLua to be more of a tosser than Shearer tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 By all accounts Bellamy can be a complete kno*bhead off the pitch as well. Not sure if this is urban legend territory, but he supposedly got into a bit of a set to in a hotel in Cardiff, when things started heating up Bellamy's aggression stopped and was telling all and sundry that his mate Joe Calzaghe is coming any minute now and will "fill in" anyone having a go. That's play ground stuff surely? Cracking player for us, his work rate and energy was massive for us, he's just a complete bellend. The only time I seem to like him now is when he is playing for Wales with me being Welsh and proud and all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Still maintain that Robert and him together were the best buys I've seen at this club.

Even if you discount the 3 goals against Bnei Sakhin, I don't know you would suggest goals against the likes of Dinamo Tblisi, Heerenveen, Olympiakos and Sporting Lisbon. Hardly European minnows.
