Shearer Has Sympathy For Boro!
"Let's keep it going - it's been a long time in coming so let's use it to our advantage. Let's believe we can go on and win the next two games.
"Why shouldn't we? If we put in that performance on Saturday against Fulham we'll get another big result.
"I have got sympathy for Boro. As much as we're on a high, they will be on a low.
"I've got sympathy for Gareth (Southgate), but we're here to do our job for Newcastle and nobody else."
