Exactly. Celtic = guaranteed payday.

[Guest Kev]

To be fair Shearer is giving all the dosh to charidee I believe.

 

Celtic last played at Newcastle 7 years ago, for Peter Beardsley's testimonial

[Guest Jack Bauer]

He is getting a statue

Newcastle would have sold this game out v's a whole host of teams mind. It's their biggest game of the season!

 

Celtic should give up playing in the Scottish prem and become a professional testimonial team, probably be far more competitive for them

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Is his best mate - Roy Keane - playing?

no. Conveniently Keane's hip has 'gone again', after playing 90 mins at OT on Tuesday.

Didn't know about Shearer but I knew Beardsley was a hoops fan. He's mentioned it a few times.

Beardsley = Anders?

That is the funniest thing ever.

 

You just know he'll be back there as manager (least thick footballer syndrome,) he'll fail and they'll be struggling to work out how to sack a bloke who's statue is outside the front gate.

 

f*ckin' geordies are fantastic.

Yep he is... Got up there a fair bit when it didn't clash with Newcastle games.

[Guest TheFooFighter]
