Superior Acuña Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Why do people think Shearer wanted Bobby out? They've always spoken highly of each other. With Lisbon, I remember Shola getting a goal disallowed in the home game too. Hit his arm, but it was across his body, never thought it shouldve been given as a handball.

JH Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 You have to admit though, it's a bit random of Bellamy to say something like that if it had no real reasoning behind it. That, and it was a bit obvious Robson rated Kluivert and wanted to give him more games than Shearer wanted to miss - Al wouldn't have been happy about that.

Ketsbaia Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 As much grief as he gets, I will always have a soft spot for Bellamy after what he did here. Just like the rest of that team. I grew up with that team and will never forget those memories....Bellamy was integral to most of them. Didn't he say when he left that if he ever got the chance to return, he'd walk back to Newcastle on his hands? Top man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Aye glad to see him get the accolades he deserves from us. Best partnership we've had in modern times bar Shearer and Ferdinand, and we've had some scorchers. Loved the fire in his belly and his never say die attitude! He's just an honest man. Good luck to him. Dont suppose he fancies a move back here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to him. Dont suppose he fancies a move back here If we make him an offer, it make just make him think seriously. He is not the type after big money and for an emotional fella, he may want to end his days on a high playing for fans who adore (not all) him. But with his history of injuries and the budget that MA works with, it is unlikely this will ever happen .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 If we'd had Bellamy for the whole of that season (and the w***** hadn't f***ed Robert off too) I think we'd have won that UEFA Cup. For sure. With Bellamy and Solano gone, Dyer fucked and Robert out in the cold, we lost our biggest threats in terms of pace and width. The problem with Lisbon was, after Dyer limped off we had nothing to counter their attacks. There was only one winner after their second goal. A lot of Robsons problems began when he began fucking about with Nobby. Didn't he sub him in about 10 games in a row culminating eventually in him being sold for a piss poor fee to Villa. It was something that was hard to understand because Nobby was nowhere near the worst player in the team never mind the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or two like myself where slaughtered for saying similar at the time. Threads would go to fuck knows how many pages and just about every post was confirming what a cunt Bellamy was.

Shepherd said he couldn't. Is the right answer. Shepherd said that he was the 'crown jewels' and the public would basically go beserk. And that was the turning point. Effectively the captain became more powerful than the manager and an important decision about the team was made for other than footballing reasons.

TRon Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 In the other thread, I put him as our best player of the decade. He transformed us from mid-table strugglers to a Champions League side, and when he left, things never recovered. Simple as that. Exasperating sod with a self-centred streak, but he lifted the whole team. His last comment is interesting. I've always felt that when we kept Shearer and got rid of Robson, we got it the wrong way round. Agree 100% Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Robert was easily as influential as Bellamy in that very first season. But I agree that he's our best player this decade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca888 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Love the fans or not, he wont come back and we wont sign him for several reasons: We wouldnt spend the money City wants. He is over 30 now He admits himself recently that injuries are finally catching up with him and he probably only has two more seasons in him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodson Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 It always comes down to - we should never have sacked Bobby and we definately shouldn't have replaced him with Souness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Remember the feeling of disappointment when I found out it was Souness. We had darts board in the office and Souness' picture went straight up on there. Should've been Fat Fred's, though, tbh. It didn't take a genius to work out everything was going to go tits up.
