Everybody has their own past, it can be something that is so glorious to remember or the one you should forget forever. For Paul Gascoigne, his past with Newcastle, Spurs, Lazio or Everton has been much-much more glorious era, until recently he suffered a mental breakdown.

For Gazza, he may be so grateful for all the support and helps he’s got through the dark days and recently he has an offer from someone who have been through about the same condition as Gazza has at the moment.

BBC has a report that Mike Tyson offered Gazza to provide counselling and support when he tours the UK in May. The former United player had to spend two weeks in a psychiatric hospital, and Tyson believes with his own past experience, he could help Gazza while holding a series of speaking engagements in the North, including a date in Gateshead.

“I know all about Gazza and I feel I can help him. A lot of top sportsmen have suffered in their private lives, including me, and that is why I want to help.” Tyson said as quoted from the BBC. “I still see him as a superstar and would like to meet him if he feels up for it.”

Mike Tyson has been a real help for the England striker and boxing fan, Wayne Rooney three years ago when he gives Rooney a boost to control his aggressive style of play.

Meanwhile, the England coach Fabio Cappello gave his words for the future of United skipper Michael Owen yesterday. Owen who has been shining bright for the Toon in recent games has a vote of confidence from Cappello, and telling him that he is still a key player in England’s qualification plans for the 2010 World Cup.

“My main priority is to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. I think about it all the time,” He said. “I have a group of players, Michael Owen included, that will take England forward,”

Another good news came today for United winger James Milner. Keegan will considering to add Milner on the bench for Sunday’s derby match, after his return to full training over the next couple of days.

After a court hearing this week, the request from Newcastle United for Barton to featured at both Merseyside fixtures at Anfield on this Saturday, and our final league fixture at Goodison Park on May 11 are both turned down.

For many games, even before Barton’s off-the-field problems, United supporters are often asking about his quality to play for Newcastle. I was first believe he will be the one who is before (in football) and can reduce his bad behaviour under the former Newcastle manager guidance, but the hope is long gone now.

The Anfield show this weekend will be Keegan 150th Premier League game as the manager of Newcastle United. With United, King Kev has 50-50 chance to get good result out there with the old record set to 2 wins and 2 losts.

So that’s the stats from the past, but for today’s reality we were probably will not have any chance this weekend. Without Barton and Emre is still out injured, KK will have to force Alan Smith back to midfield and make a debut start for Oba Martins to play for Newcastle under Keegan.

The other possibility is to add Faye as defensive midfielder and bring in Cacapa to pair with Taylor in defence. Enrique, who is playing against Blackburn last week, on the left-back and push Zogbia up to left-wing while Duff is playing as second line striker.

Kevin Keegan has told the United players to convert their first-half performance during Saturday’s FA Cup defeat at Arsenal and challenged them to produce that level of performance throughout the full 90 minutes for Tuesday’s league fixture.

Last Saturday’s opening period saw the Magpies performing their best football of the season, with determination and the “Keegan’s” attacking style, United team has given some real test to the home side.

Newcastle has at least two great chances to convert the game into their advantage with Alan Smith strike was denied by Gael Clichy’s goal-line clearance and Steven Taylor headed inches over the crossbar.

“It was a very good first half performance and we had the courage to play them,” Keegan said, “We could not keep it up (on the second half) and they stepped up, we stepped back and in the end, the gulf was pretty big.”

King Kev said our biggest problem is confidence. We could not coming back after they scores the first goal and our passing in the second half was X-rated stuff, we were just giving the ball away.

“But if we can put 90 minutes in like we did in the first half, then Arsenal will have a tough game here - although you can still play well for 90 minutes against them and they can turn you over.” Keegan added more.
