Alan Shearer

And we normally do the team together in camera, in vision.

I normally do maybe one hit at pitch side with the rest of the pundits.

Then I sort of head up maybe...

35, 40 minutes before kickoff just to try and get ready for the game.

But yesterday, with it being Newcastle, it got me doing a little bit more.

So we're actually on air at 6.30, so 90 minutes before kickoff.

To build up for that game.

It's already won.

But actually we went to the bar that's named after me, Shearer's Bar.

It was me, Sir Les Ferdinand and Gabby Logan.

Yeah.

I just didn't want to sound wanky and just say Shearer's Bar.

We did a nice interview in there and then myself and John Champion then interviewed the chief executive, David Hopkinson, who was brilliant in the hospitality area.

Then I went down pitch side and did sort of 15 or 20 minutes there with Wayne.

Les and Theo and Gabby obviously interviewing us.

And then went up to the commentary position.

So it was like you had to try and keep an energy because you've obviously got to try and tell the story, but not go over the top, as you say.

But you are, or we, I should say, Newcastle are leading 6-1.

Yeah.

Which, I mean, it was never going to be overturned.
