They were all for a switch to SJP for the money until Sky got involved.

 

A shame, as I'd have liked us to rest a few players, but I think we really owe them one.

Their manager was a smug scouse arsehole too iirc, loved the sound of his own voice and was never off SSN in the build-up and between the first game and the replay. He became Sky's 'expert' for a while, sitting on Richard Keyes knee whenever they did a prem vs. non-league cup tie, hoping for a giant-killing. I think Stevenage got rid of him after a while and he disappeared.

 

Wasn't the first game Shearer's return after a long lay-off with the ankle injury?

 

Aye. One of their centre backs was in The Sun saying they were going to give his ankle a good kicking, put it back in plaster etc. Shearer took it on the chin, swapped and signed his shirt for him at the first match and then on the Monday the same player was back in the press calling Big Al worse than shite :razz:

 

I hope we tonk the fuckers.

 

Shearer always used to get that shite when we played the lower league clubs. Was it Hull we played when their centre-half was kicking him to bits so he responded by just being a 100% better footballer?

STOP YOUR MOANING SHEARER

By Simon Bird 28/10/2005

 

Duo's bloody Carling Cup clash sparks war of words

 

ALAN SHEARER has been told to "stop moaning his head off" by elbow-row defender Justin Whittle - who wanted to settle their battle with a fight on the pitch.

 

Grimsby stopper Whittle will escape punishment from the Football Association for whacking Shearer in the mouth, and has told the England legend he got as good as he had dished out.

 

"Earlier on he caught me in the face and I just turned around and got on with it," said Whittle. "It's just one of those things. Man-to-man is a big part of my game and I stuck with him.

 

"Tough battles are part and parcel of the game."

 

The former army man smashed Shearer in the first half of Newcastle's 1-0 win, then offered the United striker the chance to sort out their argument with a scrap on the pitch, after the Newcastle man refused to shake hands on the final whistle.

 

Clogger Whittle insisted last night he did nothing wrong and the elbow that caught Shearer in the face, causing a wound that needed three stitches was an accident, just like a similar blow he received from Shearer earlier.

 

Referee Mark Halsey has confirmed to the FA he saw the incident and therefore under the rules the matter cannot be taken any further.

 

Video evidence can only be used if an official has not seen a bust-up, and FIFA recently warned games should not be re-refereed with the benefit of hindsight.

 

Shearer will also escape punishment for his verbal outburst after the game when he accused Whittle of being a "coward" and said he wanted to "stick one on him".

 

Whittle said yesterday that Shearer tried to provoke him throughout their battle. He said: "Alan Shearer spent the whole game trying to wind me up and there was nothing deliberate in what I did.

 

"But as you can see from the TV pictures Shearer got me early on in the match and there was nothing deliberate in that as well. I have nothing to apologise for and my track record backs me up.

 

"We jumped for the ball, I've gone with my arms up and caught him in the face and he's moaned his head off at the referee. He wasn't happy about it.

 

"But he's always jumped with his elbows up and I've done the same throughout the game - that's the way it is against centre-forwards who are strong. It's my job to defend and I thought I did well against him."

 

Furious Shearer declined Whittle's offer of a fight in front of the watching Sky television cameras, but suggested they sort out their differences in the tunnel, which didn't materialise.

 

Both men cooled down enough to avoid more physical contact, but fans were last night debating who would have come off worse.

 

Whittle, a light-heavyweight at 12st 12lbs, is a former squaddie with the Royal Pay Corps, who led his team on an army boot camp for pre-season, which included firing SA80 rifles.

 

But Shearer, a super- middleweight at 12st 6lbs, knows how to handle himself, and once decked team-mate Keith Gillespie on a club tour for being annoying. :razz:

Shearer yesterday criticised Halsey for not sorting out the incident, but he wants to move on from a situation inflamed in the heat of the moment.

 

He said: "I am still angry but I am not bothered if anyone wants to have a look at the incident. What good would that be to me or Newcastle?

 

"In fact I hope nothing happens because I'm not like that. I don't like to see all that going on.

 

"What I do like is fair, honest games and if there is something going on for the referee to sort it out. But he didn't do that and it's very disappointing.

 

"It was a nasty challenge and the easiest thing would have been for me to do him. I don't think the referee helped me."

Upto the 3rd series of The Wire, was a bit of a shock when that bloke said he was called Dennis Wise. :D

 

EDIT: Edgar Davids in that list as well. :rip:

Games like Stevenage get used to it for fuck sake. Soon yous will be playing Brighton in the league. Mind you loads of gays in Newcastle it will be like a derby.

 

If that was true I wouldn't have moved away, sweetcheeks. ;)
