long live king kev!

the messiah has returned for the third time!

i couldn't believe it when i read the news, kevin keegan is going back to manage newcastle!

the year was 1996, my beloved geordies were leading the scum utd by 12 points in the premiership but we threw it away...

that was the closest us long suffering newcastle fans have ever been to tasting any success for decades, and we let it slip through our fingers. i still remember the epic 4-3 defeats to liverpool, the gung ho attacking philosophy of just-score-more-than-them-football, it was both great and sad being a newcastle fan

now that king kev is back, will it bring back the glory days? its still too early to judge, but at least we know he will put out a team that attacks, i'd rather lose 4-3 then go down 1-0! in any sense, we could lead by 4 goals and let in 3!

and yet the gulf between the top 4 and the rest of the league is too far that it's virtualy impossible for any team outside the top 4 to win the premiership! being a newcastle manager has been like a curse, look at how many managers we have lost in the last 11 years.

let the most important thing is win the crowd (kinda like the gladiator) and you will keep your job. just win one trophy, ANY trophy and you can keep you job longer

king kev is back, and i love it!!!!
