"I would love it"

[AyeDubbleYoo]

 

When you do that with footballers like he said about Leeds; and when you do things like that about a man like Stuart Pearce. I'm I, I, I've kept really quiet, but I'll tell you something: he went down in my estimation when he said that - we have not resorted to that. But I'll tell ya - you can tell him now, he'll be watching it - we're still fighting for this title, and he's got to go to Middlesbrough and get something, and... and I'll tell you honestly, I will love it if we beat them - LOVE IT.......

 

Just randomly reminded of this when I saw someone's sig, but can anyone tell me what it was that Fergie said about Leeds and Stuart Pearce that made KK go mental? I've totally forgotten.

[Guest Stephen927]

Said summit like the opposition should have no trouble beating them I think.

[Greg]

Ferguson suggested that Leeds wouldn't try as hard against a team like us as they did against Man United iirc.

[Optimistic Nut]

Yeah, he basically said when Leeds played Man Utd, they played like they should be challenging at the top of the league, and that there was no way they'd try that hard against us.

And he was correct.

it was after the leeds game but it was fergusons comments about the up-coming game against forest (1-1 draw)

[Guest elbee909]

Seems more disparaging to Leeds than Newcastle if you ask me, yet history has it down as one of Fergie's genius 'mindgames' moments etc. etc.  Like when he told the journos to fuck off while defending Veron, I guess that was more genius.

Errr,  Fergie's untouchable. He never does anything wrong.

 

HE'S SIR ALEX FERGUSON!

KK lost his rag, that post match, cos our lead at the top of the table had been caught up by manure and we were all fucking gutted.

And I have my reasons for doing so.

 

Keegan give me the best time as a fan following this club, we'd have been rotting if it wasn't for this man, no doubt about it. He gave most of my family two of the best times of supporting this club. He made this club and it's fans feel how it should feel, he is one of us, he understands us, he was one of the true romantics left in a game ruined by money, a game which has forgot where it has come from and who put it where it is, that's right the fans. Keegan understood all of this, Keegan believed in his players playing the right way. Everyone of his players had his ultimate confidence, they all enjoyed playing for him, as he enjoyed having them play for him. They all understood what Keegan is, a man of the game. I understand what Keegan is, he was never the Messiah he was made out to be, but he came in pretty close.

 

Thank you for everything you've done for this club Kevin Keegan. The game as proven on your final departure has taken a turn in the wrong direction, you could see this, you tried to fight this. But ultimately you lost your battle. I still love you, I won't ever forget what you've done for this football club and this city.

 

A true Newcastle United legend if there ever was one.

Well said.

I agree. Easily my best days of following the Toon have been with KK at the club, both as player and manager. 

[cp40]

I would love it,.............

An absolute legend.

Tough call. I had moved away from the area by the time SBR became manager so its difficult for me to call.

For me, there was an air and an atmosphere about the whole area when KK was in charge. Couldnt honestly describe what it was  but 7 days a week, I felt like I walked around the area 10 feet tall. There was just a buzz. I felt like most of the country wanted to be a Newcastle fan and wanted to be part of it. I felt privileged to be a part of it.

 

Would be interested to know if that feeling was there during SBR's time. Part of me suspects it might have been different as prior to KK we had been completely in the dumps and to have a team like the one he produced was alien to most, if not all of us.

A Legend begins, a bond is formed between a Man ,a City and a Football club.

It lasts forever.

Would be interested to hear your memories of that time Libertine

 

Cracking pictures there Tooj.

[Guest Nufc4Life]

He is just so unique.

 

Even this time when he came back, he did it again. The whole place changed, the mood changed, we all looked forward to the matches again, alright it was short lived this time, but it happened again. Since 2004 we'd been in the doldrums, no optimisim, no nothing, Keegan strolls in and it went crazy. Again. Theres just something about the man. What other manager could possibly make thousands of us rush to St James' on a cold Wednesday night for an FA Cup replay against Stoke? Nobody like him. He was one of us, he is one of us, he always will be one of us.

My first game.

 

Waited with my mum for him to exit the Sky truck thing for a wave, had no idea what had just gone off.

Bobby did well as boss, for which i'm thankful.

However, when KK signed for us as a player, it was a world superstar joining MY club. A club that had struggled for years with a team of relative nobodies.

Crowds doubled. The buzz around the City was immense. I thought i was dreaming when he ran out of that tunnel in OUR black and white stripes. Unforgetable!

that day, against QPR, the atmoshpere in strawberry place was buzzing, from about 10am, it was thronging, the air was electric, you could feel the anticipation through your body.

A truley significant day in the history of the club.
