You have no clue what your talking about, you don't understand the Geordie syche or how we think, you have no right to comment on something you don't understand. All you are doing is producing ill thought out rubbish like this article because you can't get off your backside and go and find a decent story to write about, you are an idiot. Please leave our club alone and leave us to worship KK and our vision of how football should played in our own way. San was a fool, he wanted to play 'containment' football, if that is the way football is going then football grounds will very soon be emtpy.

Bored! Same old same old. Give the man time and see what he can do rather than writing him off already. For all the people saying Newcastle fans give managers no time, take a look at yourselves. We want to give keegan the years he will need to rebuild and also understand it will take millions. I'm already reading moronic journalists articles saying sack him or "has keegan failed already?" or "is this the end of keegan". Pathetic, sort it out!

Your assessment of Keegan's achievement in his first managerial stint with us was breathtaking. Yes - no trophies, but pride and entertainment. You completely minimise the progress we made then, which put us on a platform that we've lived off ever since. If your article was deliberately baiting to get an argument, then you've taken the easy option. You've got a decent command of English, push yourself a little more eh?

Do you Geordies really think you are different for any other supporters ? Liverpool Wycombe Macclesfield ....we all love our teams 300% as you do , We can look at Newcastle only from the outside and go by what we see , results , table position , lack of goals , players not wanting to transfer in , Dennis wise !!! go figure , its really looks like you club is being run by a fan for the fans , its not going to work for long if ever , you say your fans are the most passionate , not true every fan is as passionate , we just dont keep harping on and on about how great we are and how big our club is , my team is a championship team , i worship , the stadium is my church , I am loyal , passoinate , and I can see what wrong with my club , I can see the owners and directors are doing the best for my club its a buisiness not a bloody Fantasy Football Team . The Geordies seem like Lions HUNGRY Lions you appitite for success is so great and so needed that you eat your own , you slaughter your team when they are playing

Well i think its hilarious! You geordies crack me up! Sam Allardyce fell into the St James graveyard of football after going in with a good reputation, now watch Keegan take you boys down!

from the first momment i heard keegan was going back to newcastle i thought its going to be a disaster.keegans arrival was basically a way for the chairman to apease the geordies and take heat off the higher archy at newcastle.its one of the poorest run clubs i.e paying ridiculas wages to average players who dont care about the club only the money.the biggest problem with bringing kk back is the fact that all the geordies go on about this flair and attacking football that you played under him before when the truth of the matter is the prem has moved on and is now a different game from those days,if you try and play the kk style of football your gonna get slaughtered week in week out.im not writhing this piece to have a go at newcastle but it seems everybody apart from the geordies can see this ending up a disaster.

All these snivelling little none entities in this land of ours have a pop at the toon, show this country for what it is where the will to win comes second to wanting to see anything fail. Which is why England will never win nowt, enjoy having digs for now things will change and when they do maybee i can p*** on you from a high hight!!!

Yeah true its a baptism of fire for sure , best of luck Toon
Only in that part of the country would people be as thick and deluded to welcome the appointment of a clueless manager like Keegan. The main problem Newcastle has is the respect shown from the players and the rate in which they concede goals. It seems to me that every other person in the country apart from the north east numb-nuts can see that Keegan is the last person that can fix these problems, his roy of the rovers style of management sort of worked with a quality team a decade ago, but nowadays hasnt got a chance!

the appointment of mr wise somewhat dumbfounds me as a newcastle supporter however chinese whispers tells a different story as he has friends in high places on and off the pitch doesnt he mr ashton.kev spits the dummy mr wise takes his place uses his influence with a certain foreign party he knows abroad and hey presto here come more foreigners to join the ranks of a dismall football club.it seems looking for silver is not in them hills but on foreign shores and mark my words and watch this space,it seems it was not such a silly idea to bring in a wise old owl to turn things around with a mate from abroad who has an eye for talent and thats not in a skirt.the only thing thats doomed is he is a londoner but remember if hes not on the make he might actually be icing on newcastles cake and lets face it,it couldnt get any worse than that shower that calls itself newcastle united.

Well Paul, you were doing OK until you went and spoilt yourself there - firstly,not everyone in the North-East follows the Mags or thinks there is such a thing as a "Geordie nation", and believe me, many of us are as sick as you of hearing about Newcastle lately. Secondly, lay off the "north-east numb-nuts" routine. I don't know where you are from, but are you so small-minded as to lump everyone from one part of the country together and insult them like that. Even Newcastle have many fans who are anything but "numb-nuts", and have to put up with Sky sports and the media's present obsession. So leave the insults out, and learn some geography - "Newcastle" isn't the same as the "North-East" of England!

your nothing special stop acting like you are, a big club wins trophies has hungry players and staff competes in all competitions ie europe every season, is profesional and has a big game mentality, winning big games. Is respected and possibly hated through jealousy.Man united,liverpool,arsenal are big clubs with recent history of winning over the last 50 years of success,Newcastle have potential to be a big club along with there neighbours Sunderland who i think have a better support than newcastle and a better history they were once the bank of england club, other teams capable of being big clubs are spurs (great football top players in the past),man city( good support getting big crowds in lower leagues),villa (competed in europe),everton who some may argue are a big club already,Chelsea (ambitious),etc etc, Face it NUFC your not a big club just on a long list of wannabes, theres plenty of big cities who dnt have big clubs, Your not respected your just embarrasing the way you go on thinking your a big clu

I absolutely HATE Newcastle, and the first comment from 'Simon' on this thread is one of the many reasons why. A completely deluded view of a very average club and worshipping a very poor manager because of a 'successful' first spell at the club when you won the square root of nothing. 'Simon' says, "You have no right to comment on something you don't understand, you don't know the Geordie syche". That is the typical arrogant and downright stupid viewpoint that you'd expect from your average Toon Army follower. What is there too understand? Newcastle are nothing but a completely average, run of the mill English club who have aspirations way above their station. They have a nice big stadium and a large support, that's all. You haven't won a trophy for decades, that is not 'Big Club' form. I'm absolutely sick listening to Geordies harping on about how big and good a club they are and how they should be better than the likes of Villa, Everton, Spurs etc, when the reality is that those clubs are basically Newcastle's equal if not even bigger in some cases and the sooner Newcastle fans get this into their thick skulls the better. To quote 'King Kev', I would LOVE it if Newcastle were relegated this season and went the same way as Leeds Utd, as it would give their arrogant and deluded followers the reality check that they deserve and desperately require and give the rest of us peace from listening to their boring bleating about how big and special their little club is. Oh yes, and just for the record. 'King Kev' was, according to Geordies, Successful during his first spell in charge of your institution. However, when you look at his most successful season, 95/96 without the black and white blinkers on, you would see that his team blew a 12 point advantage over Man U and allowed them to pip them to the title. That just went to show Keegan's sheer incompetance as a manager and his pathetic little girly rant about old Bluenose on Sky Sports that season just proved to everyone that he knew he had been psyched out and beaten all ends up by a far superior manager and he didn't like it one little bit. So, good luck to all of Newcastle's opponents for the rest of the season, I hope they pile on the misery and send them to where they belong - the Championship.
