Shearer would easily still get picked had he not retired from internationals.

Newcastle got hammered in the end. They better have some transfers lined up because they're defence was rather soft on high balls to say the least. Not much protection from midfield either, Robert's last game perhaps?

Did you see the game? Robert wasn't only not trying very hard (he never really is when his team doesn't have the ball), he seemed to be purposefully playing bad, e.g. when he hit that freekick about 20yds wide or the corner that fell on the floor before it got to the 1st post. That and the whole going to the press thing and whining about Souness and NUFC in general makes me feel he'll be on his way out this summer.

Robert could be the same for Robson, he's just a moody little and so-and-so, of which Newcastle have too many really (Kluivert, Bellamy, Dyer, Bowyer). When he's in one of his moods he's a liability to the team, they're basically playing with ten men.

Another Ali gem:

Good riddence, I say. We'll get someone better. |
Like who? When there's a goal we score, 3 out of four times he's had a hand in it. He's not a great defender and sometimes he can go in and out of games, but apart from today, he's been trying to do what he's told. He told the papers the team was playing badly (he didn't exclude himself) and he's right – they're playing like ****.
If the manager had any brains he'd buy a better left back so that Robert would have to do less defensive work.
As for the rest of the team: Shearer has had a good season considering the lack of service he's had. Apart from the fight; the public urination; and the shenanigans back in the Fall, Dyer has been pretty good.
As for the rest:
Robert: good going forward, but the manager is doing his best to wreck him because of some ridiculous personal vendetta.
Ameobi; Milner; N'Zogbia; Ambrose: wastes of time and money.
Butt: by name, arse by nature.
Bowyer: I like him - at least he cares and gives 100%.
Andy O'Donkey: enough said.
Carr: Who?
Taylor: a good prospect.
Jenas: useless ****.
Faye: another waste of money.
Babayaro: third rate useless *****.
Given: great keeper, who will be on his way to a better club this summer.
Boumsong: OK.
Bramble: a ****er.
Kluivert: fat, lazy bastard.
Compare those clowns with the team that NUFC put out just under ten years ago.
Forwards: Shearer Ferdinand
Midfield: Ginola Lee Batty Beardsley
Backs: Beresford Albert Howey Barton
Goal: Srnicek
Apart from Given, there isn't a current Newcastle player (apart from Shearer who's been here the whole time) who'd displace a member of that squad.

Screw that. Look at the SkySports ratings. Robert, in the last 3 games they have ratings for has a 6-5-5. 7 is average. Robert is ****ing lazy French bastard. And when you face Christiano Ronaldo, you can't just leave him to the left back, for ****'s sake! Babayaro is a decent left back (especially for the price), but God dammit, you need some defense from the MF. And I don't think it's a bad thing to take out Robert when he's sucking and put in James Milner, who's going to be a good one out on the wing in the future.
Robert is a waste of space.
Maybe is Souness gets some cash, we can buy some all star players. Boumsong was a good signing. Babayaro was a good signing. Faye was a decent signing, at least at the beginning of the year. Gave the squad a good jolt. Kluivert... well no one knew he'd suck it up that badly.
They just gotta spend next year. We need a good striker. Dyer is good on the right wing. Maybe have Milner on the left. Get a GOOD center midfielder and someone to replace Bramble (if Taylor isn't quite ready) and there is a decent team.

Heinze wouldn't have been able to deal with Ronaldo and Neville overlapping on him, so i don't see why Babayaro should. It's the leftsided midfielders job to track the full back. Robert doesn't do that, hence the 3 goals that came from the rightside for MUFC.

. Well, McBride does get picked. He just doesn't start anymore. I'm not sure if Shearer would start with Owen and Rooney around. He'd be a late game super-sub type of guy.
