I too hate our sports media, but to be fair, City beating YBB is less exciting than the Geordies getting beat at home by their first real CL opposition. More so given there were claims that NUFC would win the ECL easily, less than two weeks ago, following their "perennial" win v PSG.The Daily United.
Newcastle's defeat is the main headline. City's win is a small side article below it.
To be fair Shearer has a point we had a scatter gun transfer policy back in 2009 , the problem is Shearer should have referenced our superb transfer dealings since Pep arrived, if you work out our spend against trophies won we must have the best ratio and value for money in europe , our squad might have cost nearly a billion but its worth far more on the current transfer market, what price Haaland ? £250m-£300m minimum when he cost "only" £50m , its a no brainer.
Of course the City won’t act on this, if there is anything they can do about it?

Here's a question for a great philosophical debate:
"If Oliver Holt was a lollipop what flavour would he be?"
I'm just surprised the commentary doesn't go silent while the mibs belt out a pre match Nik Nack, as they do with the world famous YAWN anthem at the coach wreckers stadium.I wish you'd keep your reply in where I made my statement which wasn't the media thread but the Bobby Charlton one, then I could find it easier. I had to go back and my rather heated post/reply was not to you but to some stiff fingers idiot or somebody.
I didn't say no club chants offensive words occasionally but the rags do it consistently. That nick nack paddy whack song is their main song and they sing it frequently every game. In fact I hardly hear them singing anything else.
The rags and their fans are the worst in the country, well okay on a par with the scouse scumbags, two cheeks of the same arse. You won't find an argument from me in respecting Bobby Charlton but the rags, never.
Shearer on 5 live just now:-
"They have done things the right way here at Newcastle. They have been very shrewd in the transfer market, unlike Manchester City."
WTAF!
If City haven't been shrewd in the market what does that say about the red shirts, and I wonder what part of City sticking to their valuation of a player and all the trophies won since our takeover makes Newcastle shrewder than City? He should button it until the barcodes actually win something.Shearer on 5 live just now:-

I've heard him say on a podcast that although the rags were sniffing around while he was at Blackburn, they never actually made a bid for him. So either he or the media are telling porkies.He's a thick Geordie prick which is why he ended up with one trophy instead of a basket full. I'll give him credit for turning the rags down but it wasn't the wisest move. Like his career, when Newcastle have won half the total of trophies we have he can start saying they've spent wisely, until then he'd be better off keeping his trap shut.
It seems this was true. The rags had apparently agreed a fee with Blackburn, but the bank would not allow them to borrow another £3.4M on top of the existng debt.I've heard him say on a podcast that although the rags were sniffing around while he was at Blackburn, they never actually made a bid for him.

:)Can't really argue with what Shearer has said. We bought Kalvin Phillips.
Great timing from this former England and Newcastle star as Tonali gets a 10 month ban for breaching betting rules!
A lifetime stadium ban is the only thing good enough for him!!I would give him a six month stadium ban… the vile little shit.
