Tooj Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 OBAFEMI Martins turned to the internet to find out about his new manager and says life under Kevin Keegan has lived up to the expectations it created. The Nigerian has previously admitted he did not know who the Newcastle United legend was when, with Martins thousands of miles away on African Cup of Nations duty, Keegan was re-appointed Magpies manager in January. Now he has revealed he did some research on video-sharing website Youtube – and that the Yorkshireman has lived up to his billing. “I didn’t know a lot about him when he came. The rest of the lads were all telling me what he was like as a manager and a positive person,” said the Nigerian, scorer of Newcastle’s opener in the 3-0 win over Reading. “I went to Youtube because I wanted to see his goals when he was a player and get a good look at his team and how they played. “He was a fantastic player and I would have to say he was better than me. The team which came so close to the title here (in 1995-96) was a great team. You can see from those clips and the way he is now that he is a manager who loves his strikers and loves scoring goals. “He had to change a lot of things when he came in and now everybody loves him and wants him to stay.” Keegan puts great store on players enjoying their work, and former Inter striker Martins can vouch for his success. “It is good fun playing in Kevin Keegan’s side,” he said. “Even on the training ground it is all about attack and playing football. I am enjoying my football, I am happy with my form, happy we are winning, happy I am scoring goals and happy Michael (Owen) and Mark (Viduka) are scoring as well.” After almost two seasons on Tyneside which have not lived up to expectations, Martins expects to one day be playing at the club game’s highest level with United. “This season is just about trying to win our remaining games,” he said. “I played in the Champions League for Inter and I believe in the future I can play in the Champions League for Newcastle.’’ Oba has obviously subscribed to my videos.

KaKa Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Are there no black people in the north east or something??? Why do people feel the need to bring up the KKK or some racial stereotype everytime there is a Martins thread. It's really embarrassing guys. How about just talking football eh?

At least this joke makes sense and is kinda funny. The clumsy KKK jokes on the other hand are just weird imo. However, to each his own I guess.
