So Shearer has won nothing with Newcastle

Shearer has already won the title and jumped at the chance to fulfill a boyhood dream and play for his beloved Newcastle, where he was financially set up for life and he couldn't be happier, a good choice in my book.

I've always had the utmost respect for Big Al, he was one of the best forwards that England have ever had. He plays hard and goes OTT now and then, but that's football, it's supposed to be a mans game.

Good luck to the bloke in his managerial career as well. :)
 
Good luck to the Guy. Granted he didn't win that many medals. Lets not forget though he has played at the very highest level in England for some fifteen years now.

Don't think we will ever see a player who can strike the ball with as much accuracy as him for a long while.

Would have loved him to come to Old Trafford but it was never meant to be. Who knows the deal may never have worked out or he could have got some freak injury in his first season that finished him off.

I don't think we have suffered that much without him. Don't think he will loose that much sleep about not coming either

It's a shame I couldn't say thanks at his testimonial on May 11th as I am playing a gig but I would have been there if I could.

Love him, hate him, whinge, no whinge, there is not a club in the world who wouldn't want a prime Alan Shearer in their side.

Ive just managed to get a ticket for this testimonial and i cant wait should be great :cool:
 
It goes without saying that I'm pleased he won nowt, but bitterness aside I couldn't say that I don't admire him for his ability/loyalty and if Kevin Phillips had as much loalty as Shearer has in his little finger I doubt Sunderland would be in the mess they are in. "I didn't try for the last couple of seasons and I should've left two years ago" :mad: . Shearer will probably get a statue in a few years, doubt they'd have built one for him in Manchester
 
You couldn't make wine the some of the grapes at the start of this thread - it would be undrinkable!!

So he had the audacity to sign for a club other than Man U?? Get over it!

He's a newcastle fan, and wanted to realise his boyhood dream and play for a club he loves. Thats a rare thing these days (Rooney?) and to be admired.

At the end of the day Man U did pretty well without him so where is the problem? Being bitter when you've won as much as you have without the player is pretty stupid really.

Not much more to say that hasnt been said above.

He signed for us for £15m which not only seems cheap now but has been tremendous value for money.
He was , without doubt the greatest centre forward of his generation and the last of a dying breed.
It has been a great pleasure , no , honour to see him play and score 200 goals for the club that I love and captain England in the process.

He wears the shirt with pride and truely is one of us.
If he wasnt a player he would be in the Gallowgate cheering on the lads and that , to me , is special.

All this talk of greed and huge wages is pap as well , he would have got that money anywhere else.
Dont kid yourself that Man Utd , Juventus , Barca or Real wouldnt have stumpted up the cash to sign a player of his quailty.

He picked Newcastle because we are his team and he idolised Keegan as a kid.
So he didnt win anything? He tried , he failed , thats life.

His loyalty has never been questioned , he has never given up , hid behind excuses or shirked responsibilities.
Two years after he signed Newcastles progress was shifted into reverse faster than under Souness and we spent a year hovering above the relegation zone.
Alan Shearer stuck with NUFC.
One year later things didnt improve under spiders heed , he purposely left him out of the side and alienated his best mate Rob Lee.
Alan Shearer stuck with NUFC.

Only Bull and Le Tiss can match that kind of loyalty.

He has led Newcastle United and dragged us through situations that others could not as well as averaging 20 goals per season despite two horrific injuries that would end careers of lesser men.

It would have been so easy for him to duck out and sign for a club to win things as easy as it is for supporters to follow a club that wins things.

Has Alan Shearer let Newcastle United down?

Has he ****.

Newcastle United have let Alan Shearer down.

Couldn't agree more. Was a pleasure watching him play. :)

Well said mate, just petty jealousy by the man utd fans as usual ;). I also have to respect the guy for going to newcastle rather than man utd, he could have won just about everything if he went to man utd but that didnt sway his decision to go back to newcastle.

spot on.

if Shearer joined Man U, he would have been remembered as a great player, but joining newcastle he'll always be remembered as a legend.

i know which i'd prefer.

anyway, he can still win silverware for the toon, as a manager.
 
"Alan Shearer's illegitimate,
He ain't got not birth certificate.
He's got AIDS and can't get rid of it,
Poor old Geordie ******"

:D

In all seriousness, although I hate him, he has been a great player for Newcastle & I'm sure he sometimes regrets not going to Manyoo. He is idolised up there & if Newcastle had won something whilst he was there, he would have been more happy with that than winning any amount of league titles with any other team.

He should have come to boro, at least he would have won something :p
