Perhaps but that doesn't service the opinion I'm putting forth, so keep it to yourself please.

I remember one game last season when De Gea was expected to leave he had a nightmare. I'm thinking Swansea? Otherwise, he's always been solid if not spectacular.
I'll be at Arlanda from 9:15 on the Wednesday. Flight back is 1430 the next day.
He was also mega for his club pretty much straight off the bat.
Rashford looks a talent but he isn't anywhere near the level Owen was when he first came through. Perhaps it's just circumstances holding him back, but you have to wonder how he is going to progress when they buy two £100m forwards this summer.
Definitely.
'Charismatic' + 'Cool' jump off the page there as being total bollocks, to start with
Clean and fresh. Glad that's clarified.
That winner against City. :drool:
Matt Busby played for City and Liverpool as well. Oh shit.
Didn't just play for, captained Liverpool. It's mad when you think about that happening in a modern context.
It's not a bite.
I am seething at Burnham being mayor though.
Whilst on the subject of parallel worlds, I was thinking about where we'd be if Keegan didn't walk in 1997. People can moan about Hughton's sacking but Keegan left after a 7-1 win and called it a day. Whilst we were on course for Champions' League football.
He left, went to Fulham and then dropped Fulham for the England job. City came after that. King Kenny coasted us into second spot.
Why did he leave on the back of going well? Did he leave for Fulham or leave and end up there after?
Well, we have two statements. One from the board:
And one from Kevin himself:Quote:
Newcastle United Football Club today announce the resignation of manager Kevin Keegan. Kevin informed the board of his wish to resign at the end of the season, having decided he no longer wishes to continue in football management at this stage in his life. Following lengthy discussions of which the board attempted to persuade Kevin to change his mind, both parties eventually agreed that the best route forward was for the club to, reluctantly, accept his resignation with immediate effect.
He was back in work the following September as Fulham Director of Football. He took over as manager when Ray Wilkins inevitably got sacked near the end of that season. Days before a play-off semi final. I thought the turnaround between jobs was much quicker but a full season seems like a reasonable hiatus from management. There's also some nonsense Kevin spouted about seeing David Pleat (victim of the 7-1 drubbing) in the opposite dugout and having a massive crisis of conscience. Most toon fans see that as bollocks.Quote:
It was my decision and my decision alone to resign. I feel I have taken the club as far as I can, and that it would be in the best interests of all concerned if I resigned now. I wish the club and everyone concerned with it all the best for the future.
