newsted Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 120 in 251 after 30. Useless old man Had a bet with a guy at work that he'd score 1 in every 2 in 2001-2, he put his annual salary on he wouldn't. Never got the money like So many people were anti-Shearer back then, unbelievable to me, think they were trying to be clever and say "I told you so" because the nationals were against him. People, pfft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 It doesn't even bear thinking about how many goals he would have scored without the injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsted Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Aye, missed a couple of years, and played injured a lot too. Fucking legend to me like. 283 in the league and all top flight in teams that weren't always at the top of the table. In living memory only Jimmy Greaves beats that and he wasn't a target man fighting for every ball like Shearer. What a guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 That line about being arrogant/not prepared/underestimated the opposition gets trotted out whenever a team that is much better on paper loses to another team. Quite often, it's a load of shit. You can do lots of prep and expect to play a tough team and still play shit. sometimes, things just don't click and the other team does Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love spraying it around and creating chances for people, it'd be nice if others could have the same courtesy. We play five a side with a guy and he is the ball greediest cunt I think I've ever seen. Tbf, he's got pretty good tekkers but you literally can't walk a ball into the net in five a side. The most infuriating type of player out there by a mile. Talented, but useless in a team sport, just doesn't get it at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 When commentators say great save when it just gets smashed off the keeper from point blank range. Then on the contrary when a striker volleys it and they say "he's hit it too well" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
