Shearer's name speaks for itself. He retired in 2006 and is still at the top of the all-time prem goalscorer list and is arguably the best striker we have seen in the league. Atleast Jordan is consistent with his hatred for majority working class footballers making vast sums of money by entertaining millions across the globe.

I feel so sorry for footballers having to play 2 whole 90 minute games per week and go training for 4 hours every other day, and then get 6 weeks off at the end of the season - must be really taxing. Let me whittle a small violin out of a tiny stick.
If people like to come off as nice or stand for a cause because it makes them feel good (or whatever nonsense Simon came up with), then I've never seen a single person try so hard to sound "smart and intellectual" as Simon himself.
I agree to a point, but the absolute giant point Simon totally misses everytime this is discussed, is the difference in the amount of running, speed, skill required from the modern player vs Souness's 1970s team. Have you seen some of the matches from back then? Walk, walk, pass back to the keeper, picks it up, walk, walk, walk. Nowhere near the intensity of the modern game
They dont contest balls now they ball watch they dont tackle they try to anticipate an interception theyre frightened to tackle with defenders in penalty areas doing impersonations of the Duke of Edinburgh on tour. Ray Kennedy Archie Gemmill Billy Bremner Alan Ball would run Grealish Sterling Mc Tominay into the ground. They had to play in impossible conditions pitch wise......you talk about intensity but when the two central defenders and keeper play keep ball in one area 19 players are having a yawn fest .....then third raye player bring stress upon themselves they havent got the intelligence to play the percentages give the ball away and concede.
@philash1000 More tackles doesn't equal extra physical strain on the body, more steps and running does. It's a very simple comparison, look at the distance ran and the amount of sprints between the 2 eras, they're night and day
Intensity and modern game....... give your head a wobble........ they would nt know what intensity is now...... you must be 16 max........ watch a game from 80 s 90 s 00 s and try convince yourself it's more intense now 😂
@terrybrady5355 I'm 36, saw my first live game in 1992 and have been to hundreds if not thousands of matches. I also manage a team and am an FA qualified coach, so I think I've watched enough football to know what I'm talking about. As I said, harder tackles don't equal physical exertion, which is the primary issue with fatigue and playing so many games. Back in the 70s we'd have had a lot more fatalities if each player ran 10+km every game like they do now!
Dont see Simons point..what has Shearer to gain out of highlighting player welfare. Hes a pundit like Simon and just gave an opinion. Non story really.
there not playing more games its simply not true... people have done analysis... and back in the 80s 90s there were lest subs and tackles were way more intense.
Well said Simon! Back in the 89s guys like Souness, Robson and Barnes had to play whenever in harsher conditions on not even a seventh of today' s salaries. Modern days footballers playing in the Champions League are in a privileged position compared to the rest of society. That' needs to be acknowledged from the outset.
Newcastle beat Barcelona to get to the quarterfinals if I'm not mistaken. Your making out like Newcastle were like rangers and Celtic going out at the first hurdle when that's not true.@@jamesmcnaboe8184

There is now this club World Cup tournament where some clubs seasons won’t end until mid July. Literally a couple weeks before the season starts. It is becoming a case of too much football. The game is played at a rapid pace. Higher risk of injury, mainly for the big clubs
"I'm not a big fan of saying players play too many matches." Thats what he said first. Well ignored. By the way, he'd be able break you in half even with his knackered ankle and knees
"He didn't have to worry about CL football at Newcastle" - in 2003 he played in the CL with Newcastle when the format was TWO group stages and Newcastle successfully qualified from the first, narrowly missing out in the second. NUFC actually made CL history by qualifying from the group after losing the first three games but recovering to win the next three.
This difference is that players are paid far more money, have everything done for them, don't rely on appearance fee's so less motivated to play more games and as in society they are far far softer! Ironically tho they act like kids when they are subbed or dropped!
Simple solution is to allow larger squads for rotation. Simon does kind of sound like your old school slave driver who works people to death to line his pocket
Loads of players have sustained bad injuries and not quit playing for their country , the fact he was so important to England makes his decision even more selfish.
Pretty sure someone did a stat that players on average were playing less games, have bigger squads, more subs in games and better facilities and medical awareness
It’s a 50/50 problem there needs to be more games because of the money but there also does need to be something sorted out like leagues get winter breaks but the prem don’t
Simon should realise that scarcity is an important factor in maintaining value. Shearer et al, may have incorrect reasons for reducing games, but they aren't wrong.
Simons 100% correct, if you want to dominate every competition, then, you have to play more games than anyone else🤷♂️ footballs going down a very dangerous and boring to the fans road
Footballers like "any" other worker is entitled to days off & holidays. It's getting to the stage they hardly get 2 weeks off without the "club" that pays them missing out on the player. "EVERY" player should get a break of minimum 3 week off in one block . European extra matches is badly needed by smaller leagues, I couldn't care less about international matches as long as my club is looked after & players prioritise the club that pays the wages
You dont need to be a sport's scientist to know as a professional footballer you were at 75% all the time only to see a few years later theres 20 extra games expected to be played. The sheer amount of muscle injurys that we see every season cant possibly be a coincidence. Jordon is right however if players want less games they'd have to demand less wages. The facts are money in football gone completely out of control and the only way to alleviate those costs is to have more games to generate more money.
The point is it's not JUST the champs league it's the inbetween as well like domestic cups then international games then when the season finishes either European Cup or World Cup games it all catches up as you get older, Shearer has played at the highest level all his career so knows all about fatigue, if you want to know the ins and outs of football you ask the players because out of everything in football they are the be all end all take the players away you have NOTHING there is no game, as much as Jordan thinks he knows about the game he hasn't played it so knows nowhere near ANY footballer never mind a top top legend like shearer, and I'm sure if anyone was looking for good information about the game they would go to shearer ahead of Jordan.
It's a myth that managers & players talking about too many games is a new thing. It's been going on for years, it's just there was no social media or much football on TV. I watched an interview from 1997 a few week ago, with Sir Alex Ferguson on a show called "Do I not like that" Ferguson told them, they were playing too many games & he was for extending the season. Also another guy in the same interview mentioned Ruud Gullit saying the same thing. Simon acts like players are robots, that can just go & perform non stop. Yea players in Souness era played the games, but so do the players today.
I couldn’t care less how much players def paid - but the games back after international break are usually tepid affairs and players getting lots of injuries and I want to see the best players in peak form not playing 3 times a week 49 weeks of the year so all tied
Simons right but that doesnt mean shearer and co are wrong.. too many games too many injuries but like Simon says the wage demands from players these days means they have to play more
Instead of reducing, will players play 10 extra games a season for a 50% salary increase. If the answers Yes, then this has nothing to do with player welfare.
Breaking news a Pundit gives an opinion 🤷🏻♂️ the digs towards shearer were unnecessary although Simon is right when he says, the players need to adjust there income/wages if there playing less games. If your looking to take home 200k a week and only play one/ two times a week your taking the piss to be honest.
Shearer aligned himself with the head injury/ dementia cause a few years ago. Despite spending a career dishing out elbows, trying to kick Neil Lennon’s head off, suggesting Rooney punch Ronaldo in the mouth in the 2008 Euro’s… etc etc etc. He’s a clown.
These poor players, imagine how quickly would burnout doing a normal working week like 99% of the population. Less games means less wages. How about managers using their squads, that’s why they have them.
Only complaining from players anyone is hearing is Raheem Sterling moaning about NOT getting picked to play football. Besides, most footballers wouldn't know real work if it hit them, like my late grandfather who was a Coal Miner, my Grandmother that worked in the Cotton Mills and many regular working class folks who have to work two jobs 70+ hours a week to feed their family and pay the bills. Shearer is pandering and it's kind of disgusting behaviour for a northerner/Geordie.

We haven’t heard much from lineker these past six weeks🤔
Simon is *BANG* on here, to be fair
Only complaining from players anyone is hearing is Raheem Sterling moaning about NOT getting picked to play football. Besides, most footballers wouldn't know real work if it hit them, like my late grandfather who was a Coal Miner, my Grandmother that worked in the Cotton Mills and many regular working class folks who have to work two jobs 70+ hours a week to feed their family and pay the bills. Shearer is pandering and it's kind of disgusting behaviour for a northerner/Geordie.
Allow for larger squads? Another 5 senior players?
Less games ,then more player lay offs
If they want less games, take less money. Its simple🤷🏾♂️
