Alan Shearer

Not very good is he,will be at the world cup as well I suppose..

Agreed, he's absolutely appalling.

like Rooney, he's on telly because of his record as a player. Both very hard to listen to. Mind you, at least they were significant players, unlike Morrison and Richards and their ilk.

Give Joe Pasquale the job,,,,,,

He's got a song that'll get on your nerves,get on your nerves etc

got to hit the target,no they don't, their  trying to score, find the corners if that means missing the target so be it,any idiot can hit the target,you don't get any prizes for it
no space behind this defence

all got to the byline in the 1st 40 mins to get balls/crosses  in to the box
shearer is an idiot who just spews out cliche after cliche that have no bearing on the game he,s watching

it would be better for my ears if he did just spew it out rather than shouting it out. i always feel like im getting a rollocking whenever he's the co commentator. Bring back Andy Gray !

Shearers like the guy with headphones on singing
on the train, volume control needs work, and he's not
very good.

Rooney is a great pundit but please not co commentary,
don't do it Wayne.

I do enjoy ally mccoist, but some others dont, he adds
to the game, imo, and sees the comedy in stuff.

I'm not that bothered who commentates or gives analysis anymore myself.  I've become immune to the lack of humour and box ticking mediocrity.  Slaven Bilic was prolly my fave from recent times.

I like listening to the Hawksby and Jacobs Talksport show.  They show humour and are self deprecating, and have far more interesting content than the inane drivel on most of the other shows.  The Tim Vickery South American segment I like.  Alan Brazil and Coisty are fun when they are on.

Shearer, Rooney, Murphy tick the morose, bored, retired white bloke box.

Dean Saunders is a laugh too.

Don’t think we need pundits, waste of sky sports or whatever channel subscription payments, as for shearer same as the rest, absolutely brilliant footballer though. Proper.

I like Hawksbee and Jacobs too. Jacobs doesn't have to do much apart from laughing, muttering and prompting, but Hawksbee has a great sense of humour. I think he used to write for Frank Skinner, and you can see the similarities.

Saint and Greaves, Brian Clough, Malcolm ALlison.  Humour, banter = entertaining.  The closest thing we've got currently is Keane and Richards, but it's a couple a level of laughs down on the afore mentioned.

Football Focus sent to it's grave with Alex Scott.  Nice girl, but you could fall asleep.  Which is why she was first out in IMAC.

yep I don't mind ally mcoist,a lot worse than him out there

Hawksbee and jacobs are most embarrassing couple ever to get broadcasting work

Newcastle players got themselves relegated so they didn’t have to listen to club legend Shearer anymore.

Idiotic statement Crisp.

Mary Poppins in no position to criticize decision-making, when he made the worst of all time.

die linke - the forum idiot with yet another idiotic statement.

Why would anyone take anything Shearer and Rooney say seriously concerning tactics when both were useless when they were coaching .

Are you for real or what? Shearer took on at short notice a team already destined to be relegated with just 8 games left!! And you are questioning his managerial ability

Yes ,didn’t he lose all 8 games? impressive..

No he did win a game Comments still apply to Rooney .

ffs, another idiot.

ffs, Newcastle had only won one of their previous 15 games, five of Shearers 8 in charge were against teams in the top 8, the other three brought a win and two draws.
At least know what you are talking about if you wish to converse. Hardly conclusive is it? Judging someone on an eight match managerial career.
