Keegan.
Should never have come back. Made their season start bad, was ruined from there on in.

Having Sam "The shittest, cuntiest, twatiest Man in all football" Allardyce the season before didn't help either.

How did Keegan make our season start bad?!
They drew at Old Trafford!
( Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:16, archived)

Spurs drew at Stamford Bridge early on.
You know how our season started.

Manchester United started this season in very very shit fashion too.

...How does that defeat my Keegan point?
Under Keegan we won two, drew one and lost one.
I'm right.

I'm always right.

Newcastle United . January 2008 - September 2008

EXCELLENT STATS!

That isn't this season.

( Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:28, archived)

That's the entire time Keegan was in charge in his second stint.

"Keegan.
Should never have come back. Made their season start bad,"
( Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:28, archived)

Two independent statements.

( Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:30, archived)

Keegan's start to the season was perfectly fine.
I'm sorry Kevin Keegan's Newcastle United probably gave you a couple of hidings.
I still blame Spurs for Keegan's first resignation.
( Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:32, archived)

Let's be clear
Kevin Keegan is not a great football manager. He's a good motivator, but not a lot else.

I wouldnt let him manage my affairs.
( Goatworrier had your mum and she was shit, Mon 18 May 2009, 14:19, archived)

It's amazing.
You can finish second in the Premiership and still be labelled a terrible manager in this country.
How many other Englishmen have done this?
( Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:24, archived)

Funny how no one rates Keegan apart from the Toon faithful.
You're so blind to your "messiahs".
( Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:29, archived)

An excellent point. Made by the club that appointed the Rev. Hoddle.

( Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:31, archived)

We appointed him, he wasn't very good,
we fired him.

After his shit performance we don't revere him as some kind of god, like you do with your failures.

Yeah
useless twat only saved us from relegation into the old 3rd division then up to 2nd place in the premiership within 3 seasons.
Oh, and only the press call him messiah...
( wotofco pissing in your swimming pool, Mon 18 May 2009, 14:33, archived)

and all the newcastle fans who get interviewed,
and all of the banners in St. James's park.

I'm going to bring Shearer into this. How's his managerial record? Excuses... it's not his team, he's not been in charge long etc are not acceptable, everyone recognises that that team are far too good to be where they are.
( Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:34, archived)

I haven't heard any excuses from him
no idea what you're on about.

I have.

"The bottom line for now is whether Hoddle can make a difference or at least give the demanding Spurs supporters something to cheer about. "The way I always saw it is the fans want a team who can play," Burkinshaw said. "They want individuals who are terrific technicians. They loved the likes of the Frenchman [David Ginola] and Glenn Hoddle, in his time, was a god."
( Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:44, archived)

"in his time".
Well done, you've proved that you're not reading things properly.

He was a fucking fantastic player, and as a PLAYER could do no wrong.

He tried to manage us, he was shit, he is no longer a "god" to us - although he was.
( Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:47, archived)

It's amazing how you've managed to clamp down specifically on a set amount of time, there.
As earlier you couldn't fathom the difference between this season, and last.
I again put it to you, and now coupled with your new found sense of exact time, that Keegan's 08/09 season at SJP actually got off to a rather fine start.
I'm sure you'll agree.
( Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:49, archived)

It was a bad start.
and I'm sticking to that.

There's a significant difference in time between the 70s and now

What was so bad?

( Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:55, archived)

You beat Bolton (big woop) and drew with a substandard Manchester united,
then you struggled to beat a team that nearly got relegated from the championship.
( Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Mon 18 May 2009, 14:59, archived)

Yes. that's 4 Premiership points out of a possible 6.
Are you alright?
