What did Shearer have to say? Just press play below to find out, or read the discreet summary that follows:

Moyes blameless for Sunderland stife

“First and foremost, I don’t think you can put any blame at all onto David Moyes,” Shearer said of the Black Cats boss. “He went into a very difficult situation with Sam Allardyce leaving for England.

“They’ve been flirting with relegation for a number of years, as did Newcastle and Aston Villa and the worst happened to those two clubs.

“It wouldn’t surprise me at all if Sunderland are going to be all season in a relegation battle.”

“Spurs rely too heavily on Harry Kane”

Shearer was at Wembley in midweek to witness Tottenham’s Champions League defeat to Monaco, and he wasn’t too impressed with what he saw on the hallowed turf of the home of English football.

“They were very disappointing and sluggish,” continued Shearer of Spurs.” I think it will be a big ask again for Tottenham to do what they did last season.
