Just seen a load of sad Newcastle fans on SSN with their new shearer #9 shirts on their all saying Shearers the saviour and he's the man to turn the club around but haven't we heard all this before when Keegan came back.

At least Shearers lack of experience has been offset with the appointment of the great managerial mind of Ian Dowie as his assistant

Shearer has pulled a blinder, If they go down its not his fault as he came in to late and if he keeps them up he is idolised even more than he is now.

If he'd have stepped into the breach the moment Kinnear had the op then fair enough, seems to me he's ego soothing

Is he still at Mexico?

He is but they lost again last night. This time to Honduras. They only have 3 points from 3 games.

Good side, Honduras. I always look out for their results.

It doesn't seem too hard to please the geordie faithful, just appoint a former legend and all is rosy in the garden. Hope it turns out well, would be horrible for them to turn on Shearer should he not be successful, or would that then be Ashley's fault?

Shearer could burn the ground down, live on TV, wearing a 'I'm about to burn down St James' Park' T shirt on, laughing manically, and the stupid tvvats would still blame Ashley. Or Allardyce. In fact, ANYONE could burn the ground down in those circumstances and they'd still blame those 2.

That said, I thought Shearer was excellent in his press conference today and I liked his dig about Dowie. Almost as impressive as that island of hair that refuses to give up on the front of Shearer's bald pate.
