Review of Newcastle United FC - Alan Shearer Legend (DVD)

Right to get out

Advantages: Brilliant record
Disadvantages: Lost it over the last three years

...I don't think there will seriously be any argument from anyone that Alan Shearer was right to retire from international football last year. It was even maybe a year or two later than it should have been. Sure, he scored against Germany last summer (was it only last year, it seems a lifetime ago), but he was definitely well on the wane for a couple of years before that. He was at his peak in Euro 96 and just afterwards and he was lucky that Keegan was in charge because he persisted with him when most good judges would have dumped him. But let's not focus too much on the last couple of years - before that Shearer was definitely one of the best goalscorers that England have ever had and I include Charlton, Greaves and Lineker in that assessment. He was very selfless and hard working and made many chances for others around him...

Review of Alan Shearer

Brandi Shearer - gorgeous vocals, wonderful songs

Advantages: Wonderful voice, lots of different styles and influences
Disadvantages: Another practically unknown artist so few will search her out

...CD Review: ?Close To Dark? ? Brandi Shearer (2007) Brandi Shearer? Another of those obscure singer-songwriters you?re so fond of? Yep - not to be confused with the equally talented Brandi Carlisle, Brandi Shearer came to my attention last year when I heard a brief snatch of ?Yes, Yes, Yes?, the second track on her 2007 album ?Close To Dark?. I had no further information on this artist at the time ? but the excerpt I was privy to was plenty to pique my interest and another impulse purchase resulted. Again, my risk-taking instinct where female singer-songwriters are concerned was well and truly justified with the acquisition of this album. Brandi is definitely flying under the radar as far as commercial success goes ? but since she?s not prepared to sign up to the hits-by-the-numbers method that passes for plenty of popular music...

Review of Close To Dark - Brandi Shearer

Leaving at the top of his game

Advantages: Strong and great inside the box
Disadvantages: Too old to carry on really

...Shearer made the right decision in retiring from the international arena after Euro 2000. Not many people aside from hardcore Newcastle fans would dispute that, I think. He has nobly stepped aside, even though he was the most successful striker for England since Lineker, to allow the promising young players to step into the breach. Whether they will do so or not, who knows. He had a reasonable tournament, and is the man that you always fancied to pinch a goal if there was one in the offing. However he has really failed to show the ability that he had before he suffered injury which put him out for 9 months, and continues to do so at Newcastle sadly. He was great for a while, but never came back to his best and I think his retirement from international football was timely but would not have come so soon if he had not been so...

bye bye

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...i think that alan shearer retired far too early.he could still have gone with england to the next world cup-just look at that german matthaius-39,ten years older than alan.one of alans last acts was to score the winner against germany,which must have been one of the proudest moments of anybodys career. the penalty king will be sadly missed for england as his strength and ability is hard to match. whoever tries tio fill the legendary number 9 jersey will find it very hard indeed! good luck alan and thanks.but id wish ud saty and play for your country instead of doing dodgy macdonalds adverts!!!!!!!!!...

Review of Alan Shearer

Missing StarA

Advantages: Great player, committment
Disadvantages: retired from England team

...Alan Shearer was one of England's greats. He scored many great goals, and was the most committed England player for a long while. Rarely makes mistakes, and now he has left the national squad, but I think he still should have played on. He's going to do well at Newcastle this season, but will be missed on the international front. Who can replace him? Perhaps Paul Scholes could play just a bit deeper than shearer, but who will score the goals? Maybe Andy Cole or Robbies Fowler will start a run of good form, because without anyone waiting for those D. Beckham Crosses how will England get anywhere?...

Review of Alan Shearer

Brave to call it a day

Advantages: great player
Disadvantages: injury

...I think that Alan Shearer did right retiring from international football, it comes a time when a player knows he is past his best, and it takes guts to admit that you are not upto the level in which people were used to expect. Many people wanted a Shearer that played like he did in Euro 96, but unfortunately he was never going to. He could have if he wanted to carry on playing, getting media harassment as that is what they do, once they realise you are not good enough As the saying goes, the media build you only to knock you back down. Alan Shearer had a really successful career both at club and country, feared by many, he was regularly the top scorer in competitions. Alan Shearer needs to be proud of what he has achieved in his international career, even though it may have not been the best way to end it all. Then again fairy...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Review of dvds365.com

Fantastic influence

Advantages: Brilliant player no one can do the job better
Disadvantages: none

...He will be missed from the squad. It's a shame that Alan Shearer decided to end his international career after an abysmal display by England during Euro 2000. If only he had played against Finland and Germany then we might have won - as he was probably England's top striker this last decade. Now he's finished, and England are suffering. At Newcastle so far he hasn't done that much (this season) but last year he was in amazing form as he put away over 30 goals in the league and cup, and when you consider how poor a start the Magpies got last year it makes you realise what an achievement it was. I think he played his best football at Blackburn where he helped win the Premiership title for the club, and I was very surprise to see him leave the club. He went for £15million pounds (then a world record transfer fee) and hasn...

Review of Alan Shearer

Alan Who?

Advantages: It's different to most music!
Disadvantages: Not everyones cup of tea.

...Alan Jackson is a folk and country singer from Georgia. His music is mainly diddley-dee and all weird guitars and country genres. This isn't really the sort of music that i would like but because my dad bought it i sort of got hooked. This sort of music is also associated with NASCAR in America. ~~Gone Country~~ This song is fairly upbeat, and its about Alan's girlfriend and about the story of how she 'went country' and went back to her roots. Alan also says in the song thats its his last chance which could indicate many reasons for that line... he wants to tell her he loves her? ~~Drive (For Daddy Gene) This song is rather annoying and slow in the verses but more lively in the chorus. Alan explains his experiences when his ''daddy'' let him drive. He describes the car in the song and what he can see when hes driving. ''It was...
