gobsmacked!!
its a love affair that can only end in tears.
and these days there's no Cole, Beardo or Ginola's.
is the match on telly tonight?
i know City/Ham is.
Saw Newcastle at the peak of their powers under Keegan when they played at Stoke in the mid-90s. They'd just signed Ginola and tore us apart 4-0 at home, though it could easily have been 8 or 9.
I've seen Stoke play the likes Liverpool, ManUre, Arsenal a bunch of times but I've never seen a side like that Newcasle outfit. Just astonishing.
This time, however, Keegan won't last until the summer.
Cant belive Keegans back at Newcastle. The pressure at City got to him, but that will be nothing compared to that currently at Newcastle. Still, whilst at City we were promoted as champions and did play some of the best football ever to grace Maine rd. (and Eastlands) Theres no doubt he is a tragi-comic figure, whos heart & passion are in the right place. (his sleeve)
that was some attacking side back in the mid 90's.
Sir Les, Asprilla, Albert, Beresford, Peacock
I doubt he'll assemble a team like that this time.
but it certainly makes a Prem a better place imo.
Two hours ago there were tickets still available for tonights game against DR CLAYHEAD's MOB but now there are queues around the ground!There are calling it THE SECOND COMING.
Newcassel's woeful defence of the last ten years looks set to continue then..
Flakey Kev is back in Toon! How long before he utters the words.."I've taken them as far as I can,we've won nowt,time for a new man"
His only hope must be if Mike Ashley spends like Abramovich.. Remember the chant in the good ol days,after he got baseball batted?
"Twat him over the head with a baseball bat Keeeegan,Keeeeegan"
Actually I rather like Keegan,cos he's very human,open,and too honest for his own good..He manages the enemy now tho,so he's fair game "He LOVES IT,JUST LOVES IT!!"
Nice guy with plenty of experience as a player and manager steps in to manage a failing team... They may well wipe the floor with Stoke this time, but it won't be because of Keegan. It will simply be that Newcastle don't want the embarrassment. Keegan is too nice and therefore too ineffectual to last.
Shame really.

Oh well.
Yep.
Don't get me wrong - I'd be more than happy to see the Potters win tonight, but if they lose*, then so be it. We had our chance(s) at the Brit. To be honest I'd prefer them to concentrate on the league.
*Lose, but not get thrashed that is

2019: News reaches me that King Kev has arrived at St James' Park...AND HERE HE RUDDY IS!!! AS IF BY MAGIC, THE MESSIAH HAS ENTERED THE STADIUM! HE WAS HOVERING! I'M TELLING YOU HE HOVERED INTO THE STADIUM LIKE A GIANT KESTREL! Ruddy awful leather jacket though, he looks less like the Messiah and more like the bloke who owns the catering shop downstairs from me
and get on this
2028: GOAL Havant & Waterlooville 3-1 Swansea Did someone mention the word 'Cupset'? Just hold on a second, Swansea are back in this. Guillem Bauza tries his luck for Swansea and the ball loops high into the net, seemingly via a deflection.
Chris cOLEMAN resigned from Real Sociedad today.
& Kev needs a right hand man with recent Prem experience.
Well the Toon have just beat Stoke 4-1 - not that I heard much of the commentary because Radio 5 thought it was far more important to give a blow by blow account of what Mr. Keegan was doing and wearing (a shiny black jacket with a scarf! Nice! Not).
Let's see how long his honeymoon period lasts before the Newcastle fans start *baying for his blood/he quits.

So they can only attract a Manager who has been out of football for three years eh!
Show what a 'BIG' club they are eh!
They're strip always remins me of Humbugs also !
Anyone remember this lad?
Should've just stuck him in charge and hoped the Geordies didn't notice! Next best thing, shirley? 
The gent in photo looks a lot like Peter Pervert of Blue Peter fame way back when. Get down shep! Oh that were his oddball mate weren't it, John Cokes.Does he? Ah, where am I going with this? Come to think of it theres been a few 'personalities' present that show o'er the years. That porn star Duncan Dares and snort cokin' Richard 'Chaz Baps' Bacon. And I were always a bit wary of that Simon Whatsisface fella. Very suspicious of him working with kids n all. But Janet Ellis. Now we are talkin'!!
Anyway onto the barcodes. Never go back. Thats what I say. Thats my motto. Whether its a bird, a job, owt. Don't do it. I've just got a nice 12/1 on em being relegated next season. I'm counting me winnings already.
I respect the passion of the fans and the new manager, wish we could generate that at chuffin Ewood, but I think they'll go hand in hand together down a slippery slope this time without massive Abramovich style investment. The Prems changed a hell of a lot since he was last involved. It was also a darn sight easier for him to have a massive impact last time out, as they were toward the bottom of the old div2 and it was a no lose situation for him. Coupled with the fact that hes walked from every footie job hes had and unfortunately for the beetroot buttie eaters after the initial hailing of the return of the messiah he'll be gone within 18 month and Shearer can return and rescue them from the basement of the fizzy pop league a la Keegan '92!!
Well thats how it looks in Alfland.
Some quality Kevin Keegan Quotes
"They compare Steve McManaman to Steve Highway and he's nothing like him, but I can see why - it's because he's a bit different"
"The good news for Nigeria is that they're two-nil down very early in the game"
"England have the best fans in the world and Scotland's fans are second to none"
"I don't think there's anyone bigger or smaller than Maradona"
"The tide is very much in our court now"
"You can play with a one armed goalkeeper...not at this level"
"At the Argentina game, how would you have guessed that Darren Anderton would have gone off with cramp?"
"I came to Nantes two years ago and it's much the same today, except that it's totally different"
"I know what is around the corner - I just don't know where the corner is. But the onus is on us to perform and we must control the bandwagon"
"In some ways, cramp is worse than having a broken leg"
"The 33 or 34-year-olds will be 36 or 37 by the time the next World Cup comes around, if they're not careful"
"I'd love to be a mole on the wall in the Liverpool dressing room at half-time"
"Goalkeepers aren't born today until they're in their late 20s or 30s and sometimes not even then. Or so it would appear. To me anyway. Don't you think the same?"
"I don't think they're as good as they are"

Whatever!
It doesn't matter what you lot, or anyone else, thinks, I'm absolutely thrilled to bits that King Kev is back. Everyone up here is.
Of course the Premier League has changed since last time he was here, you don't need to tell us that, we've played in it for long enough.
Without a doubt it will be more difficult this time around, but Keegan hasn't been out of the game for all that long and he had no mangerial experience at all last time he came in and effectively saved Newcastle United.
Plus, look at Mark Hughes. He had no league managerial experience at all (although obviously had managed Wales), but it didn't stop Blackburn giving him the job.
Special K coming home will raise morale amongst the players, fans and around the city in general. He plays a brand of football that we love up here and with the backing that i'm sure he will have been promised by Mike Ashley, I think better times are just around the corner
As far as i'm concerned, Premier League football is far better for having Kevin Keegan, for all of his passion, flair and charisma. I know Newcastle United is.
The man is a god

Fair do's.
What I did find strange was that Keegan had been running a soccer school in Scotland. An ex England international player and manager who's not short of brass teaching kids how to dribble around cones, all in a country that despises English football. Does that not seem odd to anyone else?
But Newcastle are a BIG club, they once won a cup - don't yer know.
No it was not uder Kev, He never did and never will win anything with that BIG (joke) club
Boing Boing
