Alan Shearer

He said, we were embarrassed.

I accept responsibility.

I'm meant to score the goals and I'm not scoring.

Eight games without a goal in open play.

Right, yeah.

Well, he's human.

He's normal.

It happens, doesn't it?

Of course it does.

I wouldn't read too much into it.

Part of your centre forward's life, you get on with it.

It's only a matter of time before he hits the net again and then he'll go on a run and get 8-8 or something like that.

You might triple captain him then, had you?

Is that something?

yeah please for thomas frank because under massive pressure um after what happened at the weekend with west ham score in the last minute you could hear the booze and the pressure and everyone including ourselves were speculating about his job and all that um and he came out in his press conference said no i had lunch with the owners and they were fine um but

it wouldn't have been fine if they hadn't have won.

So they had to win that game.

They did.

So well done him.

I guess all eyes will be on him and his players now when they go to Burnley at the weekend.
