Aye, and the poor bloke was hounded out of the club he loved all his life. ****ing shameful mate, hang your ****ing heads in shame the lot of you.
Won nowt, you're right. But just imagine watching Shearer, Ferdinand up front, Beardsley just behind with Ginola on the wing? Magical times mate and certainly the best times in the 45 years I've been going.
Erm I'm sure the 'golden era' referred to here is Bobby Robsons in which none of what you describe happened...... Except weetabix heed up front
Just imagine watching Phillips and Quinn upfront with Summerbee and Johnston on the wings. Kevin Ball in midfield.
Finishing 4th, 3rd and 5th in the league three years in a row, semi finals of european cup, our longest ever run in the champions league, and the football being awesome...don't need to have won anything for it to be a golden era.
We had a brilliant period with Reidy when the lads above (in Safc83's post) helped to produce the best football that we've had from a S.A.F.C. team in my lifetime, even though we won nothing . . . . relatively speaking, I'd call that a 'golden era'
So what was the Keegan age then? The platinum era? Hadaway and ****e man. The term is Greek where gold is considered for ultimate achievement, 1st. It's why winners get gold medals. Golden eras demand actual accomplishments. . Man U and Liverpool have had a Golden eras(proper ones), Newcastle haven't, mag garnished bullshite, the sort of **** that gives the nation another excuse to point and laugh at your fans base and it's delusions of grandeur. It's not washing. Sorry. Try Somb, he'll lap it up.
Our golden era was 1891 to 1895, we didn't make europe under Reid, great days but there wasn't a scrap of gold in sight.
No there wasn't, Bri., but it's the nearest that we're going to get . . . . I said 'relatively speaking' 'cos I can't see us ever getting any actual gold
Nor can I, but i'm not going to over glorify the good times just to make for it. It was what it was to me, a good period enjoyable attacking football, something I think we will enjoy again one day.
Be honest mate, there were more who wanted rid of SBR than those who wanted him to stay, and that included players as well. The bloke would have bled for your club and you all turned against him.
