  "account": "Alan Shearer discusses his goal-scoring record, MOTD and a potential departure from Cardiff. The former Newcastle United and England striker scored 260 Premier League goals across his 14-year career. Erling Haaland has netted 120 Premier League goals in four-and-a-half seasons with Manchester City, who remain in the league. Shearer believes Haaland could surpass his record if he stays with City. However, Shearer acknowledges that someone else might break the record if Haaland doesn't. The 56-year-old Shearer reflected on his Newcastle roots, his return to the club after 20 years, and his current role as a regular pundit on Match of the Day. Despite his retirement two decades ago, Shearer still cherishes his pre-match pub visits to St James' Park.",
