Cut Shearer some slack, can't really blame him for anything he says

Good on the bloke for 'raising awareness' but his opinions are complete trash

The genius of Shearer :lol:
He managed to relegate Newcastle while employing the weirdest lineups. Damien Duff, a left footed winger played at right back :slap:

Shearer tipped us for relegation in 2020/2021 (guess he would know how to get relegated, tbh) and he keeps going with his mad Aguero >>> Henry opinion.

Don't know why he dislikes Arsenal so much...sure we beat him in the 98 cup final, but throughout his whole time at Newcastle, they weren't at our level...so it's not like we cost him load of trophies.

Chalking this one up to "annoying bald man" syndrome!

That cup final was his best chance at a trophy with the Geordies.

Never quite got there otherwise.

From the ever reliable Daily Mail:

"Özil was withdrawn at half-time in Fenerbahce's 2-1 win against Konyaspor at the weekend.

And according to Turkish outlet Aksam, Özil was deemed 'physically incompetent' and struggled to keep up with the high intensity level of the match."

Mesut Özil has been dropped from the Fenerbahce squad.

The former Arsenal midfielder has spent the last year in Turkey with the Istanbul-based club. He has helped them to third in the Turkish Super Lig.

However, a statement from Fenerbahce has now said he has been "excluded" from the squad, along with Ozan Tufan, who spent last season on loan at Watford.

The statement read: "Our Football A-Team players Mesut Özil and Ozan Tufan have been excluded from the squad as per the decision taken."

Özil spent seven weeks on the sidelines after picking up an injury in mid-January after the game against Altay.

He then returned to the squad for Fenerbahce's most recent games against Konyaspor, Alanyaspor and Trabzonspor. Özil started against Konyaspor and Alanyaspor, with Fenerbahce winning both.

Former Germany international Özil joined Fenerbahce in January 2021 after an eight-year spell with Arsenal.

Fenerbahce's next game is on April 2 against Kayserispor.


What does this actually mean?​

The Athletic understands there is no current clarity as to how long the pair will be left out of the squad.

It is also thought that the decision has been made by head coach Ismail Kartal, and is not related to performance by either player.

My Turkish friend tells me reason hasn't been confirmed but there is speculation about wages.
