Alan Shearer

[Lish007]

Love Shearer. Thanks for posting. 

[jarralad]

He won't be appearing on MOTD tomorrow night.

I’m sure gold fish bowl will step into the breach.

[Crayola Kid]

The more who publicly pass on it, like Wright and Shearer have, the worse it will look for whoever steps in.

 

Hope Sir David Attenborough offers his services

Not to go too far from football in this forum, but Lineker and Attenborough were both featured in stories about the BBC today.  If Sir David wanted to twist the knife, he could attempt to link the two stories together in this way.

He’s came out in support too.  Good on him.

shame he didnt do the same under Bruce,have no loyalty to Shearer no more 

[Jinky]

Much improved MOD tonight. Just need a sole commentator and no pundits and it'd be perfect.

Thought this was interesting, with three of our favourite people. Take it for what it's worth as it totally avoids certain subjects, like Rob Lee's treatment, and essentially makes up others e.g. the relevancy of our relegation a decade later.

 

But still, interesting to hear his take on things including Gary Speed.

You could see Gullit getting annoyed at those two goons constantly interrupting him and talking over him. 

[80]

Don't normally watch them, but not sure if they expected him to get so worked up about the subject

[Guest]

Interesting but talking bollocks about relegation was always going to happen. 

[Superior Acuña]

Also he's saying Bobby wanted to sell him too? I've heard that, but wasn't that years later when he was getting on? Doesn't really seem relevant to that period, when Shearer was in his prime and would be banging them in for next few years.

I mean, he scored 30 goals and had 13 assists in all competitions that same season when Gullitt left. Those stats are hard ot avoid.

Yes, what came more immediately was Robson coaching Shearer on his game to help him make the best of what he still had post-ACL, using his strength and nous more than bursts of pace. Something Gullit patently didn't. Successfully, at any rate.

He scored 14 and got 5 assists after Gullit took over in 27 games in the 98/99 season too. 

[Geordie Ahmed]

I don't mind Gullit so much, actually admire that he walked away without taking a penny but that clip is annoying as he talks a bit of shite

 

 

[TheBrownBottle]

There’s a little bit of rose-tinted glasses from all parties on the Gullit-Shearer issue.  I can remember The Mag’s printed opinions, the callers to radio stations and conversations in the pub before and after games.  It was the Sunderland game that turned absolutely everyone against Gullit on the Shearer issue - before that, there were plenty who thought he had a point re Shearer’s performances.  
 

That Shearer continued scoring goals is a testament to his character and ability, but the Shearer of August ‘99 was very different to the one we’d signed in August ‘96.   There were plenty of solid rumours in the first year or so of Robson if Shearer being sold to Liverpool and later Villa. 

[Astroblack]

Relegation was always going to happen? Yeah, 11 years after you left with multiple European placements in between. Hate how no one remembers the SBR years. Like we went from “The Entertainers” to “Ashley FC” overnight.
