It seems he injured the ligaments in his knee today and probably wont play for Newcastle again. Whatever you think of him, or the clubs he played for, he has been one of Englands greatest ever strikers. I dont think anyone can argue with that.
Well done to him and I hope he has a happy retirement from playing the game. Maybe he will manage Newcastle one day. I think the fans would like that.
/me thinks that any person who has a black void where a personality should be and a problem uttering the words 'I' and 'me', would be a particularly poor manager.
As someone who likes watching Newcastle play but isn't emotionally involved with the club, I wouldn't like to see Shearer manage them because it would be to their undoubted detriment and may see them slip down a league or two.
Oh, this is a 'Happy Retirement' thread, is it.
All the best, cunt-face.
Not bad, in your last game you help thrash the local "rivals".
He'll probably do well as a manager but obviously not as well as me who has taken Gateshead to the Championship and Canada to the 2nd round of the World Cup.
International management is for gheys, especially international management of lolboys.
I have retired as Canadia manager now. I have done my bit by bringing a little bit of joy to their otherwise joyless country.Quote:

Yeah, but look what happened when David Rocastle died from aids or whatever, people were lining up to say how he was one of the best young midfielders of his generation but in reality, he was fairly average, farmed out to rubbish sides like Leeds and Man City in his mid-twenties and hardly got a game.Quote:

It's only becaue they're dead and people think they have to be nice about them all of a sudden :dry:
Shearer's dead? :blink:
I didn't know Rocastle died.Quote:

You have to respect that he is a hero to the toon and will probably inspire a few other talented kids to try to become professional footballers.
His statistics in the English Premiership speak for themselves.
One of the best and didn't sell his soul by signing for ManU.:naughty:
Alan hansen has to stay on shearer's good side so he doesn't steal his job at the beeb :lookarounQuote:
