Didn't Shearer also sign a years extension in 2005?

 

Seem to remember it being in the lead up to the infamous Villa game with the Dyer/Bowyer scrap. Steven Taylor was also sent off in that game.

 

Bit of a fantasist is Saunders

Yeah, he was due to retire but on April 1st 2005 the news dropped he was signing on for another year.

Then a day later Bowyer and Dyer had that fight

Things were looking decent then. We'd went on a good run even under Souness, were deep in two cups, Shearer extended his contract, then that Villa match happened. :lol:

1 defeat in 18 in all comps from Jan 1st up to that Villa game, that was 1-0 away to Arsenal. 8 were league games.

 

Bloody hell, lots of draws I imagine?

Unfortunately, Shearer's legs went a while before he retired.

 

33 goals in 84 games in his last two seasons. Not too shabby for someone who's legs had gone like...

 

I don't want to get into this again but for once Cronky's right. He got a fair few goals against nonentity opposition but in the PL he just wasn't Shearer those last 2 seasons.

Only 17 were in the league.  Anyone watching us in 04/05 could see how kluivert and bellamy were such a more effective partnership.

You just need to watch the Shearer: The Legend DVD. After the 03/04 season the majority came in Europe, cups, penalties, or lower opposition.
