What If Keegan Go For Peter Crouch

April 9th, 2008 by Gallowgate Jim

I think we could definitely get him if we wanted him. He doesn’t start anywhere near enough games and I reckon he just wants to make sure that at his next club he can go there, play games and for once - be loved. Keegan would assure him of this.

He doesn’t strike me as a ‘Keegan player’. But then again Keegan has praised Viduka to the rafters this week. Owen recently talked about Viduka’s importance in getting him and Martins into the game.

Crouch is no Mark Viduka of old, but he is a lot better on the floor than people give him credit for and has a very good first touch. Given that he doesn’t start many games his goal record is impressive and he appears to have a knack of scoring at vital times in the big games. I think he could come in for Viduka and do extremely well in the system that we’re playing at the moment.

Keegan hasn’t said that we will play this 4-3-3 system next season. But if we do I think Crouch would be the ideal person to replace Viduka. If we got him in we’d have cover if one of Viduka or Crouch were injured.

Assuming this was our default system, If One of Owen or Martins got injured Milner might just find a way back into the side. It seems to make a lot of sense to me. But part of me just can’t imagine Keegan going for Crouch.

We Are (More) Delighted When You Refused to Take the Job

April 7th, 2008 by shearyadi

Alright, first of all congratulations for your achievements with Pompey this year and making it to the final of FA Cup would be your once in a lifetime experience, so enjoy it while still can Appy Arry.

That sounds a sour introduction? Oh yes, I was in the purpose of writing that as my response for his small arrogancy, by saying he is delighted to refuse taking the job at Newcastle, which we also feel as delighted as he is and we thank God that you did that.

“It was nice to be wanted by a club like Newcastle,” Redknapp said. “On the one hand, people said take on the challenge to prove I could do it with a big club. But on the other, I’ve brought good players in here at Portsmouth and wanted to stay loyal to them. I’m delighted that I did.”

Honestly, I don’t think the Appy Arry is the right man to take the world’s biggest challenge, to manage Newcastle United. It needs more than just experience, more than have won something with other club, even more than have manage a ’small’ club to taste the European league.

I’m glad that Mike Ashley finally realize that United only need a ‘Messiah’ and that’s why he decide to bring back the one and only King Kevin Keegan.

Call us all ‘the Believers’ and we admit that very gladly, yes we are, the Toon Army are all pure believers and Keegan has give something that none of our previous managers can give which is ‘HOPE’.

“I think the summer could be very exciting,” Keegan said as quoted from the Times Online, “I’ve got an idea who I’d like to bring here, but I might be dreaming.”

“I’ve always thought that the most important place is the training ground and the most important thing is the training. I’m not saying they were overcomplicating it, but what we’ve done is trained more, played more football and by doing that, we’ve got the confidence to get the ball and play. Even against Reading we were probably only 80 per-cent, but it still produced a lot of exciting football because of their belief.”

And, when all the training that Keegan did to our players this week can produce more higher level than what they’ve got last Saturday, even it’s only 5 per-cent more, I believe we can have something good this weekend at Fratton Park.

Well Done ‘Eddie’ Says Keegan, Thanks Boss!

April 5th, 2008 by shearyadi

You know what, this is a complete happy week for me, first yesterday was my ‘Officially’ birthday, then Newcastle got wonderful deservedly wins today and then the title from the official site said, well done ‘Eddie’ and it was sounds similar to my first name!

image

The title was actually given to our 20 year-old stand-in center back, David Edgar. He was playing today in the absence of Steven Taylor and he shows some good performance in the clean-sheet victory over Reading that has made Keegan praise him highly.

Keegan said when Tayls came in with a virus this morning, he founds there were no problems putting David Edgar in, and the reserves skipper payback Keegan’s trust in him with a performance that KK describe as Franz Beckenbauer in his prime wouldn’t have won.

“He’s been terrific since I’ve been here. He’s captained the Reserves, and I felt he deserved his chance.”

Congratulations Edgar, you are the future of the Toon, as he even won a heaped praise from the Royal boss Steve Coppel for his performance today.

“This is another building-brick for Newcastle, and Kevin must be pleased with the performance of his team - and the young lad (David Edgar) at the back. Credit to them for getting a clean sheet today.”

And for more reading pleasure, Keegan still wants his player to even more focus for our next trip to Fratton Park against Pompey next week. It could be another crucial game especially when we’re looking at how they’ve been humiliated us in our own home ground.

Keegan also said that he didn’t want to be known as the manager who got the lowest premier league points.United’s lowest Premier League points total was 43, when we finished 13th last season.

“It would be nice if we can finish the season by continuing to play our football like we can, and send the people here away for their holidays and their breaks thinking: `Wow - next season could be very good for Newcastle United.’” Said Keegan, quoted from the official site.

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.

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…
