Yes we all know his Newcastle history ... he moaned, moaned and ****ing MOANED about Kevin Keegan's lack of knowledge about tactics in defence ... so Keegan offered him a job.
But it was rollercoaster ride for Toon fans because he was a SHIT coach, and we were told first hand by a number of Newcastle players, but at least it kept the MOANING tosser of the TV!
But he's back on the box ... and bitter that NUFC kicked him out of the exit door at St James' Park. So what better way to get revenge than to wallow in the misery of the demise of our great club?
One snide malicious comment after another. Like a stab in the back, as the FAILED manager and FAILED coach mocked at every pass that went astray and every tackle that went wayward.
A hero to the couch-potatos and those with 'face hair'; the Victor Meldrew of the football world.
Then of course we had the two Baggie muppets Adrian Charles and Frank Skinner at half-time. Charles crying because the referee hadn't handed out enough yellow cards to Toon players ... and of course having a dig at the new away strip.
The fact remains .... we are an easy target this season ... and we'd better get used to it.
The vultures are flying.
This summer has been purgatory. It has been a long, tortuous wait for the news that the misery is over. The new season has started, but the wait has not yet finished. If it has been hard for the fans, one in particular must have found it horrendous to endure.
If there was one place Shearer probably did not want to be on Saturday, it was the temporary television studio at the Hawthorns.
But as cruel fate would have it, the BBC began televising Championship football and Shearer was sent there ... and I'm sure Lawrenson loved every second of it.
Shearer had to go ... Mike Ashley chose not to ... and Shearer was dodging the questions Gary Lineker put to him all afternoon.
