Now I have nothing against Alan Shearer personally, but the man is a cretin. 
He is the most overrated footballer Britain has seen.  I cheered the day Sir 
Alex decided not to sign him from Blackburn.  I foresaw he was destined to 
achieve nothing further in the game.  Souness' faith in Shearer will bring 
him one thing:  His P45.  Already Alan is sharpening his knife.  Shearer and 
the Shepherd's will seal Graham's fate over a brandy this Christmas Eve in 
some Spanish brothel.

Newcastle boss Graeme Souness wants captain Alan Shearer to postpone his 
retirement for another a season.
The 35-year-old is scheduled to quit in the summer, but Souness believes he 
is fit enough to play one more year.
Souness said: "It would have to come from him, but if he's still playing 
like he has recently, he has an enormous part to play.
"He's a footballer who's enjoying his job and it's like any job - if you're 
enjoying it then why stop?"
 Alan Shearer's fitness means he is really enjoying it

Shearer was forced to undergo hernia surgery earlier this season, and 
Souness said: "Only he knows how much his hernia was holding him back, but 
since his operation last month he seems to have found another yard."
Shearer is one goal away from Jackie Milburn's mark of 200 goals for 
Newcastle and has forged a successful partnership with Michael Owen this 
season.
"We'll see what happens over the next six months, but I certainly wouldn't 
close any doors," said Souness.
"I said last year that I do not see a player on the training ground who is 
ready to pack in and there's nothing that's happened since which suggests 
that has changed."
Souness believes his improved fitness means he could tempt Shearer into 
playing another season.
He said: "Coupled with the fact that he is now playing with Michael Owen, 
his fitness means he is really enjoying it. They have an understanding which 
obviously goes back to when they played for England."

penalty when he could've left it for rooney to get his hatrick. that
