Why does no-one mention Gazza.

I was thinking about this as Gary Lineker made Alexa Chung look like Jeremy Paxman trying to weedle any kind of info out of Alan "Alan" Shearer. Which was horrendous.

Alan is not a great summariser, it does take time to get any good, Lawro wasn't great to start with but he just has no charisma and little insight. All the lesser well known football players that the BBC use are way better. Lee Dixon is probably the best as he comes up with useful bits and has a personality, Gavin Peacock never tells you anything you couldn't work out yourself, but he's a curio due to his religious leanings. and Martin Keown and Les that crop up now and again on FF are much more entertaining.

None of them compare to Strachan though who absolutely stole the show on MOTD2 when he did that.

Apparently Shearer doesn't speak to Keggy Keegle as Keggy didn't go to his testimonial as he was in the states on holiday. Are you both 12 year old girls? What?

Weren't there enough people to watch it? I like Shearer as I admire his dour curmudgeonly attitude as a player. But there's grudges and then there's this. If that's the case that is and Keggy isn't reading things into it. And then to announce it? That's going to heal the rift announcing to all and sundry that you don't speak because you wounldn't go to his party.

Geordies, your precious club is being run by people that have less of a proffesional temperament than Elton John. Good Luck with that.

What I don't understand is why Gazza isn't thought of if "roles" are being handed out? He maybe a loose cannon, but surely this can only be win-win.

Gazza gets to be involved in football day to day which might do him some good. Newcastle get another leg end to help out.

Now stop laughing. Gazza played abroad, has fallen into every trap, and was one of the most gifted players this country has produced.

Even if it's just to turn up and tell stories to the youngsters and the like. I reckon it can only be a good thing.

I'll post numero 3 tomorrow or wednesday.
