Looks like one or two of them are debating whether to deduct Shearer's free-kicks from his goals tally.

 

Aye, because a 30-yard free kick is less legitimate than, say, his winner v Leicester (1 yard tap-in) in the 4-3.

Kane is a very very good player who I rate highly and is well on his way to becoming a world-class player, but Shearer was the complete centre-forward. Kane has more guile for me, but lacks Shearer’s aggression, hold-up play and the ability to play against a centre-half shoulder to shoulder. No one was better than Shearer at that.

It’s like the penalty argument, a striker taking and scoring pens shocker. It’s not like it’s easy to score from 12 yards either. I want a striker that can do it all and score any type of goal, be it in open play or not.

In all fairness I believe a professional footballer should never miss the target from a penalty, yes the keeper can save it but he should never miss that size of a target from a 12 yard dead ball situation

I disagre, it’s easy to miss the target from such a close range when you invariably have to place it and with power. That’s why a lot get blasted over. Then add in the pressure factor.

A lot don't go over, like. I'd say about 95% of penalties go on target, although I have nothing to back that up

The ones that don’t hit the target I meant. It’s easier to score in open player because it’s more natural. A penalty looks easy and you would think is easy, but it’s not. High conversion rates because most players who take them tend to practice and be good strikers of the ball. It’s not easy though.

While Newcastle were featured in Rough Guide's 18 Places for 2018, Sunderland come 8th in UK crap towns....

When mentioning that they were moving to Sunderland, someone was given the advice “It’s a pretty sad place, to be honest. Find somewhere with easy access to Newcastle City Centre and you’ll be happy”.

Sunderland’s only real claim to fame is that it has the highest rate of teen pregnancies in the Europe

You see these females, and I use the term loosely, with their omni present offspring (Demi Louise, Chantelle, Tyler, Kylie, Mercedes Lambrini) trudging up and down Newbottle Street in the snide Burberry and Kappa, their foil lined bags abrim with the mornings spoils of shoplifting from Superdrug

 

This made me chuckle too:

have never understood the idea of revelling in and being amused by the social deprivation in sunderland...it's equally as prevalent in newcastle and anywhere else in the north east

 

laugh at them for being the arseholes they quite clearly are but not that, we all have it in common
