Alan Shearer on Neil Lennon England's golden boy Shearer lost his rag with Leicester's Northern Irish terrier and simply booted him in the head and a squabble for possession. An FA commission somehow came to the conclusion that Shearer had not intended to kick him opponent squarely between the eyes and he escaped a ban and was therefore eligible to play for Newcastle in the 1998 FA Cup final. I believe shearer threatened to withdraw from the 98 World Cup squad if he was found guilty and missed that final ........ made no difference to us but so corrupt ! 1

Shouldn't be on the list as it wasn't an attempted tackle. 1

That was no tackle just a moment of sheer thuggery. He should have got a ban like cantona. Bankers at the FA and the ref. 1

He did threaten that. David Kelly, i think, confirmed it. The measure of the man. I will not play for my country if held accountable for my actions. Absolutely disgusting attitude. He's an awful bloke. 1

Wouldn't be surprised that the weather's coming from the west and it's calmer on the east side. Even so... We need a report from Sheff_ Fox, or whatever he's called.

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 9 February 2020 Posted 9 February 2020 If today's PL games are canceled, will they be played next weekend? Or is it not that simple since they were due to be televised?

Guest ttfn Posted 9 February 2020 Posted 9 February 2020 If Liverpool win their next 3 matches they’ll be at least 31 points clear by the time Man City kick off away at Man United on 8 March.

Might cause problems for Man City later in the season with fixture congestion True. But surely Pep would rather have a week of light training, and play it next weekend rather than shoehorn it in somewhere later on in the season. But it's probably not up to him. Sky will decide when it's played I imagine.

Man City have a game to reschedule for the league cuo final too, plus they are in Europe. Perfect for us as Man City don't get a break.
