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!!!!

nothing is permanent
i was saddened recently with some sports news...
thiery henry, the arsenal superstar forward would be leaving to join barcelona. although this is the worse kept secret for over a year, it was still the worse news for any arsenal supporter
though i'm a die hard newcastle united fan, i have always loved to watch arsene wenger's arsenal. they play beautiful, fast paced attacking football and any neutral fan would agree they are a joy to watch. with henry leading the line, you would always get goals, and most of the times, spectacular goals..
henry has always said he will be a gunner for life, and despite his departure, i believe him. he is an honest, decent bloke and he explained clearly why he left. first viera was sold, then arsenal moved to the new stadium which limited their transfer budget. though henry was made captain, he was too moody to lead the line from the front. then david dein left and arsene will not renew his contract with arsenal after next season. being 29 years old, it was now or never...
i think his departure will be a great loss for arsenal, and from the looks of it, the club is in danger of a free fall. i certainly hope they don't self destruct, i'd watch them play anyday over the other big 3 clubs. it's also a loss to the english premier league, losing one its brightest star, and dare i say their best ever player...
with the spanish league starting in an ungodly hour of 3 am HK/Malaysian time, i won't be able to watch much of henry's live action
the good thing is, barcelona is coming to HK to play a friendly game and they promise all their stars will come! i better get the tickets, this would probably the best chance of seeing him play live...
like i said, nothing is permanent anymore, the only thing that is permanent is... change
take a good look at yourself and your life and reflect
are you being the best that you can be? are you neglecting the people around you? have you said "i love you" to your family and loved ones? don't wait, just do it...
au revoir monsieur henry...
