    Winning the PL or not isn’t relevant as to which was the better partnership.

    Both partnerships worked and worked very well. As with any comparison we will never know but for me it is Shearer and Ferdinand.

    Shearer and Sutton was better, end of story.

    Overall our team was better than Blackburn's team who won the title, but the strike force was key.

    May be end of story for you but I tend to view that as said by someone who is trying to end a discussion they know they are losing.

    Anyway you’re wrong IMO.

    There not really much to discuss tbh, I think one's better and you think the other is better.

    Shearer was far more prolific at Blackburn than with us, and won the league with Sutton as his strike partner there, and never won anything with us.

    Saying a player is better than another player because one won the league and one didn't is a silly argument.

    Firstly I didn't say that at all, secondly we're talking about strike partnerships not "a player", and thirdly it's not silly at all cos that strike partnership won the league for Blackburn at a time when Man U were dominating.

    It was basically just Shearer anyway, with Sutton chipping in here and there, Shearer Ferdinand in 96/97 both scored loads.

    They called it the sas and it was largely considered a failure.

    Not it wasn't, stop talking such utter ****ing ****e.

    Sutton scored 21 goals in his first season and won the title there. As well as the goals he also made loads of chances and space for Shearer.

    Shearer had been at Blackburn for 2 years and not won anything, it was only when Sutton was signed that they won the league, so saying it was just Shearer is horseshit.

    They played one season together, in 94/95, the season after that Sutton was injured most of the season and then Shearer left.

    I'm this one season, Shearer scored 37 goals, Sutton scored 21 goals, and they won the league with one of the most prolific strike forces in Europe.

    Never really worked?

    Yeah, it was a disaster, so bad they that they won the league with the best strike force in Europe and got Blackburn their first title since 1914.

    I know you're on the wind up, but this is just getting surreal.

    They weren't a good partnership is the point .. not how well Blackburn did with one or the other.
