Sir Bobby Praises Magpies' Skipper Shearer

ROBSON PRAISES SHEARER

Shearer brace added to Craig Bellamy's and Kieron Dyer's earlier goals to put Newcastle back into fourth place in the table.

"Alan did very well for us," Robson said.

"In my head, I was thinking 'Can I take him off with 20 minutes to go?' because we have a tough match on Thursday and he's 33, but I couldn't do it.

"It was a rousing, typical Premiership game of football that you get very, very often. We got off to a great start, naturally.

"Craig took the chance, he went round the goalkeeper this time, as opposed to trying to pass the ball past the goalkeeper, so he's learnt.

"We've won 4-2, we're back to fourth - great."
