act smiley Posted 18 January 2008 Posted 18 January 2008 Not true. He was born in South Yorkshire to geordie parents. Yup, he's from Darlington if I remember rightly. Here's an interesting fact: The "I'd love it" season, Newcastle's goals against was 37. Manchester United's was 35. The following year, they conceeded fewer than Manchester United, although admittedly, Keegan didn't stay the entire season. The goals against for the Keegan premiership years were: 41, 47, 37, 40. For these seasons the best goals against in the league was: 28 28 32 32 And the champions' was: 38 39 35 44 Of course, they did play reckless attacking football, which was brilliant, but their defense wasn't as leaky as everyone remembers simply because "attack is the best form of defense" wasn't as dumb as it might sound.
AoWW Posted 18 January 2008 Posted 18 January 2008 he actually put !!1 In all fairness, it's pretty obvious that's nothing more than a typo. If you'd like to go around pointing out each time someone mistypes something - well, good luck.
Geo V Posted 18 January 2008 Posted 18 January 2008 Im going to start taking bets to see when Keegans bottle goes again. Its happened at Newcastle when he threw the title away one year and we all remember him running away from England. I think he is great entertainment and one dimensional but it will make for some great games of football with his side involved, plenty of 4-3s and the Geordies to finish 15th every season until he is replaced by Shearer
AyewJoking Posted 18 January 2008 Posted 18 January 2008 I would love it if he won the league, love it!!! Sorry.

But I've no doubt he's good for the game. I'd sooner bet that Shearer won't ever be half as good as his hype as a manager.
Ultra Posted 20 January 2008 Posted 20 January 2008 It was a severely weakened side, against a typical Megson team (with SIX defenders in the starting line-up) which was clearly going for a 0-0 from the start. Judge Keegan when he's got "his" team..
Head Honcho Posted 20 January 2008 Posted 20 January 2008 Not true. He was born in South Yorkshire to geordie parents.A lot of the fans can relate to him and idolise him for what he did for them as a player and then a manager. I think you'll find he was born in Walsall and brought up near Reading ..........................but he has smelt an empty bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale so he's allowed to call himself a Geordie!

Unless this is a wind-up or I'm missing something, I think you'll find he was born at Armthorpe near Doncaster, Honcho.
Simi Posted 21 January 2008 Posted 21 January 2008 Funny how some credit went to Keegan for the win against Stoke, yet the 0-0 was purely down to the fact he's had no time.
lookwhaticando Posted 21 January 2008 Posted 21 January 2008 My new Newcastle shirt with King Kev on the back just arrived today.
Nationwider Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 My new Newcastle shirt with King Kev on the back just arrived today. Crikey! Kev, Kev! They're behind you! ----------------------------------------- 12 Newcastle 24 -15 27 13 Middlesbrough 24 -16 25 14 Sunderland 24 -18 23 -----------------------------------------
Simi Posted 9 February 2008 Posted 9 February 2008 Can't help but laugh at Newcastle. Villa have come back from 1-0 down to lead 2-1. Now Shay Given has gone off injured. :laugh:
LeeCovFox Posted 9 February 2008 Posted 9 February 2008 3-1 Villa are destroying them in this half. Ha.
FilboFox Posted 9 February 2008 Posted 9 February 2008 Kevin Keegan... SHIT manager... It tickled me when I heard all those crazy/deluded Newcastle fans say that things were all better when he came and he would lead them to a title in the next few seasons! lol What FOOLS! HA!
Simi Posted 9 February 2008 Posted 9 February 2008 Villa fans - "There's only one Kevin Keegan". HOLLLTTEE ENDERRSS IN THE SKKYYY
lildave3 Posted 9 February 2008 Posted 9 February 2008 Villa fans - "There's only one Kevin Keegan". HOLLLTTEE ENDERRSS IN THE SKKYYY Gotta love Villa. I bet Big Sam is laughing his head off, and rightly so.
Phube Posted 9 February 2008 Posted 9 February 2008 I miss MON's half time turn arounds... and sneaky wins...
Daggers Posted 9 February 2008 Posted 9 February 2008 At least Keegan will be out of a job when we are next looking for a manager
Mikey Posted 9 February 2008 Posted 9 February 2008 Newcastle have been as poor if not poorer since Keegan. I, myself did not see what all the fuss was about and now I quite enjoy Newcastle losing. Even more so because I have a mate that is so smug that New castle are in the Prem, I always tell him it won't be long until we are in the same league, and that's not us going up!
Mort Posted 9 February 2008 Posted 9 February 2008 It was an odd apiontment to say the least... but Keegan remains a quality manager, yet like any manager taking over half way through a season he needs time and when you add to that the fact he really missed out on the January window and has been uninvolved in the game since he left Man City it really will take a while (and then there’s the crazy contrast of an Allardyce team managed by a manager like Keegan – it’ll take some adjustment).
Darkzzz_ Posted 10 February 2008 Posted 10 February 2008 Newcastle fans are so deluded beyond belief!!! They thought Keegan=King=success Instead they will get Keegan=Past It=Sacked=Our Club Is Not Good Enough!! Get real Newcastle United!!
