301 goals, and still disapointed!


300 Toon goals

Alan Shearer got goal numbers 300 and 301 yesterday, during their 5-2 defeat away to Blackburn Rovers. Despite his massive milestone, Shearer is disapointed. Alan Shearer, who yesterday scored his 300th and 301st career goal for Newcastle United has revealed that he would be willing to swap his massive 300th goal for a Toon win.

Despite the former England international's double, the Magpies crashed 5-2 to Graeme Souness' side, and Shearer said: "I'd much prefer us to have won 1-0 and me not to score today.
"I am pleased but I'd much prefer it to be in better circumstances obviously."

Shearer, who was hailed by Blackburn manager Graeme Souness, says he will probably begin to savour his achievement once he puts the disappointment of the result behind him.

He added: "I'll probably look back in midweek and think how pleased I am but tonight I'm obviously disappointed."
