You missed the best one on 606 - "Look at the difference he's made already, all he had to do was go into the dressing room say a few words, and we get a performance like that!"Batman wrote:Some Geordie prick on BBC just said "glad we've got a true Geordie in"
erm, that 'proper Geordie' is from Doncaster......
He didn't even arrive at the ground until 20 minutes into the game you dumb prick!
This has to be the funniest appointment of the year. I can't decide what is best the Mr Shrewd businessman Ashley is numb enough to appoint a shot manager like Keegan or that the fans think its the messiah returning and everything will be rosey in the garden now. Wonder if its too late to get a bet on Newcastle winning the Champions League this season ?

Interesting take on things...
Michael Owen was a national hero after breaking into England's team at the 1998 World Cup under Glenn Hoddle. But he feared the worst when Keegan took over to revive the ailing Euro 2000 campaign. Later, writing in his autobiography, he recalled:
"For me, the warning signs were all there on the training pitch...I assume the manager had conveyed to his staff what he thought of me, and plainly it wasn't complimentary.
"I felt I was being singled out, not just by the manager but the whole coaching staff."
A 3-2 defeat to Romania put England out of Euro 2000. Owen missed the ball completely after 15 seconds.
He wrote:
"A terrible thought filled my head: 'That's exactly what he wants me to do, because it confirms what he's been saying all week'... Guess what? When I caught sight of the manager he was throwing up his arms, shaking his head and gesticulating at the coaches as if to say: 'Did you see that?'. That, I can assure you, is one of the worst feelings in the world."
"I used to go into games believing that the opposition was scared of me and that nothing could get in my way. That feeling, that belief, evaporated at times when I played under Keegan. I don't think Keegan had any sort of personal agenda against me, I just think that as England manager at a major tournament he felt under enormous pressure and he needed something or someone to blame."
"I was an easy target. I wasn't on top of my game."

And if they lose to Megson's lot........ they'll set the place on fire.
