Yeah, no. You haven’t a clue if you genuinely have this opinion on Shearer. We were close to signing him twice but Blackburn in their jack walker days outbid us and he chose his hometown club Newcastle over us the second time. had we bagged him we’d have been even more dominant in our heyday. he was streets ahead of any of our 4 strikers that won the treble. He also absolutely despised Utd and was never joining us. The cunt.

I don't think he was suited to the kind of football we played tbh, although SAF tried hard to sign him. I think its lunacy to so severely underrate a guy who regularly bloodied the likes of Adams, Stam, Keown and other bruisers around him. His style of play is not something Licha or Varane or a fucking 40 year old Jonny Evans could cope with, not a fucking chance. He still had a bit of pace when he went to Blackburn, there’s no doubt that he’d have been great in our side then. Had a bad injury and had to completely rebuild his game afterwards, which he did successfully. Probably doesn’t get enough credit for that. Winds me up a bit that people who never saw him play think he was shit. Nobody should be passing comment on players they haven’t seen. You don’t score that many goals in the Premier League if you’re shit. He could head the ball like nobody else, insane power in the right foot, genuinely one of the best penalty takers ever. Loads of attributes. Having said all of that, he’s been a shit pundit for 20 years, he’s for some reason now trying to be a commentator which he’s also shit at, he’s bitter as fuck and he’s a cunt.

His hold up play was also immense. Shoulder-to-shoulder probably a handful of defenders could cope with him.

Had all kinds of different types of partners up front.

Ah well, he wasn’t actually missed in the end.. We bagged a treble and he has one PL trophy to show for it. No regrets.

Hasn't been talked about enough. Crazy to think there's actually people out there that don't rate him 😂 buffoons.

Tyler called it a mis-kick.

Tyler called it a mis-kick. That drove me nuts. Reminded me of the time Tyler (again) said ‘Just. Just’ after Owen Hargreaves sent a laser-guided penalty past Cech in Moscow.

I think that was Clive, but I agree that it was really irritating. Especially because a couple of Chelsea’s were actually nearly saved whereas Hargreaves’ effort was unsaveable.

I remember seeing an Irish family of United fans on YouTube watching the penalties in 2008 giving their own interpretation of the spot kicks and having a pop at the commentator for something similar. It was a fun watch.

Wow what have I missed. I’m in my hometown village no wifi, can’t believe it. Can’t wait to catch up.
Also, not to put Poland in the Stone Age, but I’m mostly choosing not to, to spend family time catching up.
