Alan Shearer is dubbed a 'SNAKE' and a 'baldy nugget' by Joey Barton after Match of the Day star re-opened feud over whose fault relegation was when he was Newcastle manager

Joey Barton has re-ignited his feud with Alan Shearer after labelling the Newcastle United legend as a 'liar and a snake'. The pair have failed to see eye-to-eye ever since the 2008-09 season, when Shearer was head coach of Newcastle and Barton was a key midfielder in the side.

During their trip to Liverpool in May that year, Barton was sent off for a late challenge on Xabi Alonso before the Reds went on to secure a 3-0 win over the Magpies. Shortly after, Newcastle confirmed that Barton had been suspended indefinitely. Reports claimed it was following a dressing room confrontation with Shearer.

Though Shearer eventually recalled Barton to their first-team, the duo have never settled their differences and, now, the former midfielder has re-opened their feud. Speaking on his podcast, Barton delved into the fiery history between himself and Shearer before leaving a strongly-worded caption on a social media post.

Shearer was a liar and a snake. If Newcastle didn’t appoint him, I believe that group would have survived. Don’t be telling porkies Mary Poppins. 👍 https://t.co/f3YA9r4OHn. The caption read: 'Shearer was a liar and a snake. If Newcastle didn't appoint him, I believe that group would have survived. Don't be telling porkies Mary Poppins'.
