Second half I thought Sunderland got back into the game really well, despite not creating any clear cut chances until Jones's header.


Penguin Jones Laughing not a bad player to be honest. Yeah Sunderland got back into it but they never looked like they would score.


Too true Tinks, despite all their possession they badly lacked any sucker punch.

Ahhh....my favourite Michael Owen has silenced his critics yet AGAIN...despite his injuries he's still baggin the goals. Looks like he's more suited for the midfielder type role vs just being a striker.

I really wish Keegan would have taken off Viduka first, so Owen and Martins could be upfront....I still want to see the partnership between these two.



yeah, viduka was crap. i also think geremi should have been took off. he was so bad!


Yeah I really don't know why Nzogbia doesn't start...Geremi is absolutely horrendous....his free kicks, corners, and sometimes even passing is very poor.

so a few members here are left with egg on their face after suggesting Keegan will take Newcastle down to the Championship and that his appointment as Newcastle boss was the biggest joke since the hiring of Steve Mclaren as England boss .

admittedly Keegan started with an appalling run and it did look grim for Toon fans , but since that first win Newcastle have not only managed to secure their status in the Premier League ...they have also risen up the table and are now 12th .. only goal difference serperates them and 11th place Tottenham .. not bad for a team everyone was laughing at only a short while ago .

So i have to give credit to Keegan for turning it around in the face of intense pressure ....i like Newcastle and they do play entertaining football ...i hope Keegan can really make something of Newcastle next season ..

oh ..they really should have hammered Sunderland .....

are you kidding?

look at the teams they have beaten. hardly awe inspiring.

werent Newcastle 12th when 'king' kev took over? so he has merely stayed the same. relegation was only mentioned because of how pathetic they were under keegan. it was never dreamt of under allardyce.

look at his overall record and not just the last 5-6 games.

keegan put the 'intense' pressure on himself for the pathetic performances at the start of his campaign.

while Newcastle are on form the surrounding teams have nothign to play for, Newcastle have a lot of making up to do to their fans and are playing for their positions next season.

he has won like 4 out of about 14, hardly egg on anybodies faces!

all i was saying is quite a few here reckoned Keegan would not do any better than big Sam and in fact would get them relegated ....ok ..maybe the `egg on their faces` was going a bit far , and Newcaste may have not gone any higher than when he arrived .. but the mood has change for Newcastle it seems ....the fans seem happy ...the team is playing good football and there is a wave of optimism that Newcastle can win things ....

That remains to be seen of course ....but they are on a good run at the moment ...and good opponents or bad opponents ...a win is a win ..

we are top of the form guide. fair enough as you say, we have not played the best of teams. however out of the 10 other games he has failed to get results in we have played Man United twice, Arsenal twice and Liverpool. we dont expect to beat teams like that. all i know is that if we play half decent next week we wil hammer West Ham. like we always do.... Wink

Newcastle V Sunderland!
