Any time there’s a story with the words ‘Newcastle’ and ‘United’ written, it’s important to expect the unexpected. After all, this time last season, Sam Allardyce was manager and things were going relatively well at St James’ Park. Since then, he’s been axed, Keegan has been and gone as manager, while Mike Ashley has stopped […]

There’s never a dull moment on Tyneside, with Kevin Keegan seemingly staring down the barrel of the gun after ‘crisis talks’ with the Newcastle hierarchy on Monday. Has Special K managed the Magpies for the last time and will the supporters be appalled at the man about to replace him?

It’s clear that Mike Ashley has tightened the purse strings at St James’ Park, and the consequences could be bad as far as the team is concerned. Many fans will have been disappointed to see Newcastle lose James Milner, even if they did get £10 million from Aston Villa for him, and the words of […]

Newcastle supporters have waited around for what seems like an eternity (two years to be exact) for a certain winger to get his game back to where it was when he first arrived. After holding out hope, Newcastle finally seemed reserved to the fact that he’s not going to come around anytime soon. They’re hoping […]

Last season, Michael Owen started to finally pay back the £16 million that Newcastle paid for him three years ago. However, the fact remains that the England striker has only made 37 league starts for the Magpies since joining for Real Madrid, something that Kevin Keegan will be anxious to redress this term. There is […]

Kevin Keegan might not realise it, but his dream of adding four quality players to his squad seems to look less of a reality.
