Robster Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 The question could then become: would people swap winning the league in 96 for Shearer then never joining. Yes. In some respects, I wish 96 had never happened. Certainly the way that it did. It is still too heartbreaking when I think about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiedean Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 The question could then become: would people swap winning the league in 96 for Shearer then never joining. Without a doubt Id take Shearer going to Man United as long as we would have won the league in 95-96. That season was the ultimate kick in the balls being a NUFC fan ive encountered. You just knew it was going tits up after the whole Collymore,Fenton,Cantona thing and Man United continuously grinding out 1-0 wins thanks to Schmeichel and Cantona Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Club being successful > any player. Aye, I loved Shearer but would trade him any day of the week for a throphy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe_next_year Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Shearer was more than just about what a great player he was though. It was about a local-boy coming home instead of going for the big money/trophies and having pride in the city we're from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Sorry like but anyone who would rather have a player over a trophy is, quite frankly, mental! Wonder would Wigan fans swap their FA Cup for having a guy from Wigan, one of the best goalscorers in the world playing for them for ten years A league is different I agree Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 What type of cup win - a Birmingham 2011, Swansea 2013, Wigan 2013? Or a proper memorable one where the club goes on to do great things? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 We're so alienated from the idea of winning things that we think it's just about looking at a bit of paper. The memories, celebrations, and sheer jubilation at winning a trophy can't even be taken into account because no one can imagine it. You’re probably right actually. But I still wouldn’t swap it for shearer. Any other player, yes. He’s ours, full stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Club being successful > any player. Yes, but not a one off success. If the cup win would lead to further success of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NobbyOhNobby Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Shearer, all day everyday. Greatest player in our modern history. In no way would i swap him to be a one-cup wonder like Wigan or Birmingham City. Fuuuuuck that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I took it as meaning we win the cup and whatever further impact that has on out timeline tbh, not just we won the cup and everything else is the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I don't think I'd take an FA cup over Shearer... Think. It's not just him being here for 10 years but it's the club that him being here created, and maintained. Yeah we won fuck all and we went through shitty periods, but fuck me that spirit in the fanbase him being here created was brilliant, man. Shearer leading us in the Champions League and being England's leading man was a really proud time. Then him and Bobby together, man. Commanding. I'd take the 95-96 title and Les staying here longer over Shearer joining, I think that would have just been spectacular. But yeah, those 10 years not just with him, but as a club, were brilliant. I still don't think his legacy is done here, mind. I think when Ashley finally goes, at some point he'll be back in some part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
