I think he will still play Owen because the fans want to see him in the starting line-up.

I agree with London though, it’s pretty much spot on.

When I saw he had been appointed I was really surprised, but I can see why now. He’s certainly the fans’ choice and they are who needed to be won over. From an outsiders point of view, I think Houllier or Deschamps would have been better appointments. If I were a Toon fan however, I can see that I would probably see differently.

I just wonder if Kev knows how much the game has changed since his time? It showed an interview with Keegan from three months ago during half-time in the Man City V West Ham game on Wednesday. He said that he would never return to football and that he hadn’t even watched a game for months. Surely that can’t be good?

The one person in the club who won’t be enjoying the ride is Michael Owen, as Keegan doesn’t rate him.

We talk about Keegan’s flowing football at Newcastle but his England team was possible the worst, and dullest, on record. Even McClaren’s was better.
Phil Neville and and an ageing Dennis Wise were in the Euro 2000 first XI.

That’s about spot on, I’d say. Humdrum indeed was Sam Allardyce. Kevin Keegan is anything but.
