Ive got to go out for 1/2 hr guys, so dont think ive ran away, When I return, with my Sword of optimism, i will reply to all Doubters.

Cant contemplate KK failing,,,,,, it dosent compute,,, its never happend,, EVER

Maybe, if wed have gone down this season. Cheer up man, yr miserable bunch, I can be happy, knowing Whats on its way I applaud your optimism, lets hope you are right and you come back on here in a year's time telling us "I told you so". Good to see positivity returning to the fans, we've been in the dauldrums for too long now. I will, I will tell you 'I told you so' I will be Humble with my Greatness. From August, 'Nothing' is what I Fear

You are simply wrong, 91-92, we were dreadful, avoided relegation to third on last day... (keegan wasnt there at start) 92-93... 11 wins at start....Champions 93-94.... 1st season in prem...3rd 94-95....Team rebuilding....6th 95-96....Eric Cantona robbed us the Tiltle.....2nd 96-97.... played over half a season under KK....2nd thatl be, 1st, 3rd, 6th , 2nd 2nd, seasons began with KK as manager, And it was F-king great, i was there home and away. anybody thinks we are finishing half way down the league next season, is wrong. Anything is possible for sure and you are right in highlighting the fabulous record KK has at managing us. However the PL is a completely different ball game now, you really need huge amounts of money to compete with the big 4 in the league. Even if Ashley invested of 100 million in the summer, I don't think that would be enough to close the gap, it's that big. The problem is that in order to compete with the big boys, we have to be one of the big boys.. if that makes sense? Money's being thrown around like confetti at a wedding nowadays, so now, much more than before, we have to rely on our 'attractiveness' to potential stars since other teams are willing to pay-up as well. Unfortunately, however season upon season under-achieving ahs taken its toll and we are no longer an attractive outfit-- teams like tottenham now have more allure-- and in order to attract the stars that will help us break into the top 4, we need to be finishing as close as possible to them. Im under no illusions as to keegans managerial prowess- he's a great man- but to bridge the gap in 1 season regardless of how much we spend (who can we realistically attract that'll help us get into the champions league?) is ludricrously far-fetched thinking. Paddock, although i enjoy your optimism and hope that you're right, i just can't see it happening tbh... I can never be Pesimistic with King Kev running the show, I know we will have a fantastic season , next

It is a dangerous game the fans play to put so much expectation onto a side, just the right ammount gives the team the drive to do well for the fans. Too much and you see mass walk outs "sack the board" chants and the team does suffer for it . We will have a difficult patch next season like every side seems to have we need to be prepared to take the highs with the lows. Pushing into the top half with the current side playing the way keegan wants them too seems probable add 3-5 signings and the team could challenge for a uefa place but it all comes down to what other teams are doing which is totally out of our control. FFs Sake, Roeder got us to 7th, and you dont think KK can match that.... come on now boys The standard of teams fighting for it has improved it wont be easy Keegan thrives on taking the things that aren't easy, and doing them well, Took a side from 1 game away from 3rd, to champions in 1 season

Actually the prem is exactly the same ball game....Its called football, KKs lowest finish 6th, i fully expect that or better, with Astleys money, Form over last 6 games, once Kk settled in, as good as any side in league, Jesus this forum Shud be called Newcastle Pesimists online, We are on the verge of something great, just like summer 92

We shall see , you miserable git

Kevin Keegan did not come back here for 9th place in the league. He came for something hes never had, champions league football. Mark my words, that is what we will be in and around next season More....... We never finished lower than 6th in any season we started with keegan as manager, he dose NOT do mid table...

Sounds more like an episode of Stars In Your Eyes. Freddy Shepherd Thought he was host of Stars in Your Eyes, during his reign at the Toon

i am surprised by the amount of attention this thread is getting,, Is richard dunne doing something i cant see. i think he is a reasonably decent prem league player,, but expect,, in fact am certain, we will see a higher calibre player come in the summer,, i know someone, will challenge me for a name, but as with Keegan last time,, out of the blue will come some top class player,, sneaking in behind a smokescreen of speculation

all english Final

telling scoles he will play in the final... fergie knows what he is doing like....
