Newcastle were superb to watch back then and Keegan did a great job,if he'd invested in his defence a bit more god knows what they might have achieved,thank god he didn't.

Agreed, it's all relative though, isn't it? Excellent seasons for Newcastle, but they would have been decent to poor for man u for instance.
We won the league that newcastle blew their 12 points lead mate.Hmmm I think most would have enjoyed Ferdinand and Shearer more than Paul Stewart up top on his own mind

Shearer didn't play for them then.
I was specifically talking about the season they blew the 12 point lead mate. That's the only season they actually challenged for the title.I was speaking more generally on that period overall - Sunderland certainly weren't the winners whichever way it's looked at. They had a redeveloped stadium, a top side, exciting football, cash to chuck about and a city being heavily invested in making it an attractive proposition. The Keegan era and everything that went with it was a shit period for SAFC

Can't argue with the rest of what you said. But I stand by my original point that ultimately we enjoyed that season more than them.
Along with Sir John Hall formed the Geordie Nation. He's up there with George Washington imo.
The ronnie gill can print the King Kev face masks again, and the horse punchers will wear special K cereal boxes on their heads and another geneartion of bairns called Keegan will grown up in Cramlington. What's not to like?

Did he win the 'Entertainment Cup' that was replaced by 'The Most Passes and Corners Cup'?What a load of shite.
That was in a newspaper.
He was one centre half from winning the title. He made Newcastle a top four club regularly. We hated it but he was very good for them the first time.So apart from spending £50 million, losing a 12 point lead and starting the rot that saw you relegated, what would you say we're the main things he did? In terms of trophies, titles and so on.
Not a chance.
