Alan Shearer took a lot of flack during the 2010 World Cup for his dour demeanour. So this year, Shearer seems
self consciously upbeat and proactive in his analysis, almost as though he’s being prodded with stick. But when he butts in during a monologue by Lee Dixon, Dixon shoots Gary Lineker an exasperated “he’s
done it again” face at 35 seconds. What can we read from this?
It was the comment on Rooney that triggered it - Shearer is obviously sat there programmed to talk about strikers so almost like when a hypnotised person hears a trigger word he springs into monotone action. Though he did look cheerful in Warsaw the other night maybe he'd had a few Zywiecs to perk him up.
