Guest Matt10 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 On Keane moving to the North-East... "I put one of my houses up for sale for £750,000 and he came to look at it and it went up to £6m when I found out it was him." Cheers Nut, I'd not seen those!

Optimistic Nut Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 He was complimentary of Keane actually. "He was one of those players where if we had had 11 Roy Keanes on the pitch in our team, we would have gone on to be very successful". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Think that was a joke. He later goes on to say he's never really met Keane and knows nowt about him, but rated him hugely as a player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy Gunt Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I hope Ashley comes in and puts an end to all the shitdippers hanging around the Club. Hall, Shepherd and Shearer all from a now (recent) bygone age. Fuck the lot of them - time to move on let the spineless'ambassador' suck Linacres cock in the BBC studio sine die. Why does Shearer not try explain why two of his final three managers tried to peddle him? The one who gave him a new contract knew it was his survival ticket - and he fucked the Club over big style with Shearers full backing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 On Souness: "Graeme Souness I actually liked. What Graeme found difficult was that he was a man's man and if you were poor, he would tell you. But the way players are today. they don't appreciate it and they wanted arms around them and that was the problem - players took the hump" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Spectrum Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 He was complimentary of Keane actually. "He was one of those players where if we had had 11 Roy Keanes on the pitch in our team, we would have gone on to be very successful". So he would have dropped himself for Roy Keane...? And that also says a lot about his opinion of Shay Given's abilities if he would rather have had Roy Keane in net Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I'm surprised they missed this part of the Bellamy quote out. Best part! "But when I read Bellamy for Newcastle, I thought I would definitely have to have another drink, so I had several. I'm the worst dancer you have ever seen. I have two or three left feet. I had heard Bellamy might be coming so I thought I had to get drunk and throw some shapes. At least I was trying to throw some shapes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Northern Boys Love Gravy! Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 As much as i fooooking love Al, isnt he supposed to be the clubs ambassador? - supposed to be trying to convince new players to come to our club and tell them what a good future the club has/ the ambitions... Has he done anything like that yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcdefg Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Move on Alan, whatever you think of Bellendamy. I'll have to guess from smilies what you mean, but will respond in words. Alan Shearer no longer plays for Newcastle United, he is entitled to opinions, obviously, even though he supported Souness until the end. Feel free to respond with rolling eyes.

Optimistic Nut Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Just typed the full page up... Shearer....on Re-Signing Bellamy "I was having a few days away in France with Gary Speed and Steve Harper and the wives and I picked up a newpaper. I was having a fantastic day. But when I read Bellamy for Newcastle, I thought I would definitely have to have another drink, so I had several. I'm the worst dancer you have ever seen. I have two or three left feet. I had heard Bellamy might be coming so I thought I had to get drunk and throw some shapes. At least I was trying to throw some shapes. Has no-one learned their lesson about signing him? If only Rafa Benitez had rang me, I would've told him exactly what he was like. I hope there isn't anything in it. It would be interesting, especially when McDermott is still here because there was a scuffle at Anfield when Craig & Terry were coming down the tunnel" Shearer...the truth about me and Gullit. I always get the brunt of this but he came in and disregarded Rob Lee, Stuart Pearce, Nikos Dabizas, John Barnes and players like that. He couldn't do it to me because of the position I had and the goals I had scored. He took the captaincy away from Rob Lee, from my best pal. I couldn't turn it down. Rob said to me, "You deserve it, you do it". But it was the way things were done against Sunderland I didn't like. We were doing set-pieces in the morning and I realised: "I'm not involved. I might have a problem". We got to the ground for Sunderland, the biggest game of the season. I looked up and there's the team and my name wasn't on it. He could have pulled me to one side but he hadn't. I wasn't playing and myself and Duncan Ferguson were on the bench. Next day, I decided I was going to confront him. I got there, burst through the door, and there's Big Dunc sat there and he had already torn strips off him. But the day after, he was gone. I actually thought he was a good coach. His sessions were very good and made a lot of sense but the man-management was very poor" Shearer...on Roy Keane I put one of my houses up for sale for £750,000 and he came to look at it and it went up to £6m when I found out it was him. I don't know him personally but I have got a tremendous amount of respect for him as a player on the football pitch. He was one of those players where if we had had 11 Roy Keanes on the pitch on our team, we would have gone on to be very successful. But I have never spent any time with him one on one Shearer...on Singing on Bebo We were driving through Ponteland and we both had had a good day and we put a particular song on and I was singing away and little did I know, she's taping me on a phone. We got to the World Cup last year and I got a call in my hotel room saying: "There's something came out which you might not appreciate". I just sank. I was relieved when they told me it was only me singing in the car. I didn't know what it was. I tried to stop it but in the end I said, "Play it" because I was so relieved. It was a lesson to her and my other daughter that you can't just throw things like that around Shearer...on Best Managers Bobby Robson was fantastic. He pulled the club up. It was on its way down before he came. We would have been relegated had he not came in. He saved my career. Kenny Dalglish at Blackburn was brilliant for us. He won the double at Liverpool and won the title at Blackburn, then came here. It was a case of the right man at the wrong time. Taking over from Kevin Keegan was never ever going to be easy, with everything going on at the PLC at the time. It was very difficult and he did sign some poor players. Graeme Souness I actually liked. What Graeme found difficult was that he was a man's man and if you were poor, he would tell you. But the way players are today. they don't appreciate it and they wanted arms around them and that was the problem - players took the hump. Shearer...On Going Into Management I have just finished my badges. I have my B badge, which I did 3-years ago, and my A badge I just finished two months ago. So I could go into management now if I wanted to, but why should I? There is only one place I am going to go when I do so I just wanted to enjoy some time out. My wife says: "We see less of you now than the previous 10 years" so I'm going to take a time of time to spend with the family. But I will do it one day. If I get to 50 or 55 and I look back and I haven't done it, I will regret it, but I don't know when I will do it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
