Heh heh heh. I actually don't begrudge the guy anything. Sure, I was ****ed off when he buggered off to Newcastle, as it seemed he wasn't going to, but he's always done what he wanted to throughout his career. He was in a team that gave us the Premiership crown and put a huge smile on Uncle Jack's face, so I have no complaints there.
I used to hate the way he was adored at Blackburn though. i.e. if he made a bad pass, it was, "Unlucky Shearer!" Anyone else would get yelled at. I never understood that. If he plays ****, he should get yelled at like everyone else does! That was my take on it, anyway! But he could do no wrong! That's more a gripe at the fans at the time than anything else.
Anyway, back on target.
I don't think it's a case of you earning the 6th spot, more than us throwing it away. A short while back, we were top of the lague form going from January, but ever since the Tottenham game we have let ourselves down.
I hope that we do ourselves justice in the final three games, but I really don't think all the current speculation with our players is helping that much.
Like I say, it would be a shame to lose out on Europe, especially to Newcastle, what with all the connections there (Shearer, Sounness, Cole, Bellamy, etc).
