Now What You Would Say About Kevin Keegan?

March 31st, 2008 by shearyadi

I know we are just having two wins since he made the shocking return to English football league, and most of the media and those who commited themself as the football expert have been said he made a big mistake and he will failed again because the game is now totally different than his previous years with Newcastle. I’m telling you, they are totally wrong about King Kev.

Interesting how the media can make such a different opinions after we start to win things around and also, although some of their previous report are maybe 75% are telling the truth about United situation, but I still thought that it was really unfair to make such an early judgement that he could fail and soon to get sacked again.

imageNow, I have read today that the papers are started to praise him as he is soon to be the next Premierships master of tactician, funny isn’t it? Well, let’s hear what Keegan said in an interview taken from footballaudio.com by clicking on the image on the left.

And then, I only want to quote some of what the papers said here, I will let you decide whether they have been telling you the truth or another false commentary from their own typical market oriented journalism, other than that let’s enjoy our win and continuing to perform on this Saturday at home against Reading, time for a sweet revenge of what they did to us in our first meeting with them :)

the Journal Live
For those who may find such a statement a little melodramatic it was at least the day when, having stuttered and spluttered since Keegan returned, the Magpies not only buried Tottenham Hotspur on their own turf but their relegation fears with it.

the Independent
Hilarious as many outsiders have found Tyneside’s footballing soap opera this season, all neutrals should be cheered by events at White Hart Lane yesterday. It was not just the improbable result, which should ensure Newcastle United remain in the Premier League next season, but the performance. A scintillating second-half display evoked echoes of Kevin Keegan’s glorious first spell as commander of the Toon Army. Assuming chairman Mike Ashley invests this summer, maybe, just maybe, “The Messiah” can justify the hype which accompanied his return in January.

Telegraph.co.uk
Kevin Keegan has been called many things during his colourful managerial career but rarely a master tactician. At White Hart Lane yesterday, he outwitted the wily Juande Ramos as completely as his team outplayed Tottenham.

Now That’s What I Call Walking In a Keegan Wonderland

March 30th, 2008 by shearyadi

Terrific game, cracking performance, highly dedicated players give Newcastle United the greatest victory from all the rare wins we have seen this entire season.

We should have taken the earlier lead when Woodgate is so kindly to give the ball to Habib Beye inside the penalty area, too bad his left-footed strike only meet the crossbar, good effort and surely warm-up the game, as both side began to threatening each other side.

But it was the home side who is lucky to get the goal with a precision header from Darren Bent. It was something that should have been avoided if Faye can jump to deal with the ball earlier than Bent.

After the first goal, Spurs trying to get more and push United deep in defending their attack. Honestly, I feel like we will lose this one and start to wondering again about the relegation until Nicky Butt calmly control the ball just before the end of first half and drive an unstopable shot to give us the ballance.

One player that I seen have progressing very well today is Joey Barton. He’s tremendous today, he’s working very hard, defending well and supporting the attack efficiently. He also shows that he can steal the ball very well and pass it to his team mate and create the chances.

In the second half, we are even far much, much better than the home side. It looks like we are playing in St. James’s Park not White Hart Lane. We control the midfield very well, Butt is now our general in midfield and together with Barton, we have two solid rocks that can held the Spurs from getting into our field.

And when Martins is being fault by Dawson just outside the penalty, I know we have the chance to taking the lead. Spurs defends the free-kick poorly and create the room for Geremi to drive the ball between them into the right bottom corner, 2-1 for us and the Toon Army is going crazy.

I said to my mate who also watch the game that we will definetely win this one, and even with more goals. I was right in the 65 minute. With a great combination from our three strikers, started with Martins dancing with the ball skips O’Hara challenge before rolls it to Viduka, the Aussie giant didn’t wasted time and quickly turns the ball to Michael Owen who delightedly receive it and lifts the ball for his third in three games.

The party is completed when Martins finally scored his first goal for Newcastle under the Messiah. With eight minutes remaining, Barton perfect timing steal the ball from O’Hara in the midfield and gave Oba Martins a great passing. Martins running and control the ball before have a one-on-one situation with the last Spurs defender Dawson, before finish it low past Robinson. Another earthquake happening and 4-1 for Newcastle United!!!

From the official site, Keegan hails United 11 heroes, and said it’s hard to single players out because we had 11 heroes out there today.

“Even when we went a goal down I had seen enough to convince me we would get back in the game. Of course Nicky Butt’s equaliser has come at a crucial time but even then, it didn’t affect my half-time team-talk because I always thought we would get something.”

“But happened in the second-half was incredible and every one of the players deserves credit.” Keegan said “It’s a massive win but the performance was outstanding and it’s a very happy dressing room in there.”

What Happening Down There is the Battle Continued

March 30th, 2008 by shearyadi

Surprise, surprise…the biggest surprise of the week is almost happening yesterday when the bottom team Bolton Wanderers was almost gave a total humiliation to the Gooners when they have lead by two goals and have Diabi sent-off at Reebok stadium.

So, the bottom rocks are still struggling and thanks God to Pompeys for killing off Wigan and to Rovers who held Reading at their own homeland.

Too bad for useless Manchester City and West Ham, they are too weak to handle the home team, especially West Ham who failed to trash out mackems. We will show them how to do it next month.

Now it’s our turn to end the Lilywhites good performance today, and this one is not less important than what we have done in the last couple of matches. In fact the Spurs match is the one that we should have win, and hope the Blues can send Smoggies home in despair.

We have done it last year, and hope Keegan can manage another magical influence to the lads and they will transform it into the greatest victory ever this season. YMO, do your best and go for more goals!

Howay the Lads!!!

Only Happens At Magpies Zone, Interview With Kevin Keegan

March 28th, 2008 by shearyadi

In the cold wind Fog of the Tyne, I have an appointment with Kevin Keegan, what a nice lad he is when he accepting my proposal to have an interview with him recently and below is what could only happens at the Magpies Zone!

How do you feel about Newcastle United latest result?
It’s good to win. You win when you score more than the opposition. We’ve been going wrong on that bit for a while!

Which player do you think you will keep at Newxastle United and why?
Peter Beardsley. He’s done nothing wrong.

Do you feel any regret of taking the Newcastle job once again after being retired from coaching?
No regrets at all. Anyway, some would say you retire from coaching when you work with the majesty that is Alan Smith.

What is your personal opinion about the current english premier league, the style of play and how do you handle the change?
We’ve only just won, so it’s fair to say the change hasn’t been easy. The lads now know to go out and do the opposite of losing, it’s that easy.

Do you think you will have the same success like your first reign if you have the chance to start it all over and pick your own team next season?
If we keep Barton, all will be fine. Hang on, forget that bit! With a team of new players, we have a good chance.

The last manager said that he needs at least five years to develop Newcastle to become the major force and one of the top four elites in premiership, how long do you think you can achieve that status?
Five years to develop a force and five months to get relegated. That was his plan, wasn’t it? Hahaha! Only joking. They say a week is a long time in football, so, I’d say with his (current) players it may take a long time…

Last one Mr. Keegan, in what part do you think Newcastle needs more improvement and any player on your mind that would fit on your plans?
I like the look of Shearyadi, he reminds me of a player we used to have, Alan Shearer!! :)

Suddenly I heard someone yelling at my ears “Wake up you lazy bonny lad!!! It’s time to make real update for your blog!!!” Then I found out me still laying in bed…

What the Papers Said, Latest Newcastle’s Rumours

March 25th, 2008 by shearyadi

Don’t take what you read seriously though, but some of you may interested to know what’s going on recently with Newcastle and what the papers said about Keegan’s possible signing in the summer.

First of all, I have read on two Newcastle supporters forum a news about Mike Ashley lost millions of pounds on a share bet on Halifax Bank of Scotland. According to the Press Association, Mike has nursing losses running into tens of millions of pounds.

The news was something that other cheap scumbags media will love to spread and make their own versions from it. One of those is, no surprise, coming from the Sun who make a report that Ashley could be prepared to sell Newcastle United for the right price.

The Northern Echo writes Dubai International Capital - who have been trying to buy Liverpool - are known to be considering an approach, while there were also recent suggestions that a locally-based consortium was trying to get Alan Shearer to front a takeover.

Personaly I don’t believe what those papers said, but, if they actually telling the truth, the sooner we know Mike Ashley’s “True Colors” the better.

Now the news about Toon future signings from various media. Gazette write about Keegan preparing to make a new bid of around £2m in the summer. for Manchester United’s Mikael Silvestre. 30-year-old French International has been reported to close to full fitness, and already made return to the Red devils reserve side in a friendly clash at Bolton Wanderers in midweek.

He was having a badly knee injury while playing for ManU side against Everton at Goodison Park back in September, and I think Keegan was smart enough to not making approach for any player with injury record as bad as Silvestre. He will build a totally new, fresh and strongest Newcastle United squad and definetely not making Toon as the recycle bin for other premier league teams.

Meanwhile, the appointment of Newcastle new chief scout Lil Fuccillo following the departure of former chief Steve Walsh has made all Toon’s administrative role was being operated from the capital. Tony Jimenez, Jeff Vetere and now Lil Fuccillo are all operate from around London.

Fucillo currently spotted been checking on two Championship side team in search for any Toon new signing prospects. He was at Hillsborough last Saturday to be watching Wednesday’s 18-year-old centre half Mark Beevers, and Palace’s 17-year-old striker Sean Scannell. Both are playing in Sheffield Wednesday’s 2-2 draw with Cystal Palace.
