Shearer talking shite

I would love to win a league cup, but in the grand scheme of things they’ve won a cup that means absolutely nothing to them because the competition they’d qualify for by winning it, they won’t even be playing in anyway because of their league finish, that and the fact that it was the “Mickey Mouse Cup” according to them back in 2014.

That’s what made the celebrations laughable, the amount of Mickey Mouse cup posts and media stuff in 2014 yet they celebrated like they’d won the World Cup. I said it then and when they won it I’d be over the moon to see us win something in my lifetime, just mags don’t have the capacity for clear thought.

Alan Shearers opinion on the playoff final is as valid as anyone else’s. His natural bias is probably balanced by the fact he’s an ex professional footballer and is now paid to express his opinion based on years of experience.

And he’s only saying what a lot of other people are saying.

Maybe it’s time to be magnanimous in victory and lose a bit of the sensitivity to perceived criticism. Because if one doesn’t, next season is going to be pretty tough, emotionally.

Just to be clear, you're saying if we are not sensitive to perceived criticism (btw, it was criticism, not perceived criticism), we won't have a pretty tough season emotionally?:?:

Controversially I quite like him, for a mag. His story about being on the train with our fans is class :lol:

He's an arch mag and fan going way back. I don't lose any sleep over his opinion of us. I wasn't pleased for Saudi when they won a trophy so why should he be pleased for us?

Battered? Fulirst 30 mins maybe. Sticky spell in 2nd half tbf watching back. They got behind us a couple of times. But we were much better 2nd half, caused them problems and once we equalised only one winner.

I expressed it poorly your honour. 😉

What I probably should have said was that an inevitably tough season for supporters could be made all the worse if we are over-sensitive to criticism.

(I accept, btw, that living outside of the area and never, ever encountering a Newcastle supporter, watching NE regional TV etc etc., probably makes it far easier for me to shrug it off.

And, I have to confess, I don’t really care as much as I used to)

Strange that you didn't watch the wall to wall TV coverage of the final though. We overcame a poor first half with a 2nd half where we controlled game and built up inevitable pressure that led to 2 stunning goals.

Should stick to being the tightest man in the north east and refusing photos with bairns. The slimy tosser.

Comes to something when he’s meant to be their club legend and even some of their die hards think he’s a colossal bellend.

Every mag I speak to says he’s a massive bellend and I’ve never heard one of them say a positive thing about him.

I was, for much of the game, at my wife’s bedside in hospital.

Desperate to keep popular with the sportswashed. That's all he's doing.

Wary that he'll largely be forgotten amongst the support base in the coming years and that his legacy will just be a bloke who won **** all playing for them 25 year ago, then sat on a chair on tele on saturday nights.

And relegated them
 
After reading that if I ever came across him sitting in the corner of train full of Lads supporter with his cap over his face so not to recognised. And if he caught my eye and gave us a wink and a shush not to let on because I am an owld codger who's responsible and knows a lot better I would scream at the top of my voice and point at him like that Donald Sutherland in the Body Snatchers
