Intellectual in peace.

This is probably the hardest thing I've ever had to write, but following the news that Kevin Keegan is returning to PL management for the last game of the season as West Ham United's new supremo (presumably with a view to taking charge of the them in the championship), I wonder what your thoughts are about this, considering that everytime he comes back to Newcastle Kev says that they are the only club he'd ever want to manage and the only club that could ever bring him back, yet now he's at West Ham?

Similarly, Kev still doesn't seem able to get over what happened to him in his second and third comings at St James' Park. Firstly, Kev's 'rant' on Sky Sports gave birth to the whole idea of 'mind games' which we've all had to sit through for the last 15 years. Everyone forgets that NUFC had already essentially forfeited any chance of the sweet nectar of silverware that year by presiding over the greatest bottle job in the history of the league. Instead the narrative is that Newcastle were still slightly ahead (they weren't) and that it was an amazing 'mind game' played by Alex Ferguson that caused Kev to break and somehow that infected the team.

We are now constantly hit with the spectacle of 'mind games' before a match. Imagine if someone came in to your place of work and said 'frightfully sorry to bother you, but I don't think you're going to be as good today as you were last week'. Would you fall to the ground in anguished pain and then proceed to perform terribly? Apparently, that's what 'mind games' do to grown men, and we have Kev to thank for that.

Then of course there was the third coming, where Kev essentially relegated NUFC. How did he do this? Firstly, he spent the summer attempting to sign Henry, Lampard and Beckham while rival clubs were concentrating on actual possible targets. Secondly, he engineered a situation in which he wanted the fans to choose if they wanted it to be 'Newcastle United Football Club' or 'Kevin Keegan Football Club'. Imagine how poisonous the atmosphere was when Kev was doing this, no wonder NUFC lost so many games and ended up getting relegated after Shearer played 3 at the back against Liverpool.

So my question essentially is, do you feel that Kev should have asked your permission due to his 'unique' relationship with NUFC and do you feel betrayed that he is coming to the Premier League for a 'fourth coming' with West Ham?

He's still got it. Consistent as ever

 

what a dick!

I doubt Keegan would end up there but even if he did it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.
With regards to Keegan and NUFC now he comes across as a very bitter old man.

 

The "Intellectual in peace" bit makes me chuckle every time. He's usually disproved that within the first sentence after it though.

 

We should invite him over here, I miss some of the WUMS in all honesty.
At least we'd be able to properly take the piss out of him and you mods could edit his articles for hijinks.

 

Haha I miss Orb, he's a prize twat! What was his craic with winding us up one minute then pretending he's one of us the next? He was an Everton supporter wasn't he? Also, was he DavidMoyesWife?

 

Would take him over Bartons Tash!!

 

We could do with a few quality wums from time to time. 99% of our banter takes place between ourselves and most of the time we don't even exchange comments with opposition players after a game.

Hopefully the other teams will pick up a not606 following soon and the banter can return.

 

No thanks

 

The fact that West Ham have appointed Kevin Keen rather than Kevin Keegan manages to raise the idiocy level of the article to heights that not even the Orb/Mrs Moyes had previously attained.

God, what it must be like to have to live in his mind all day long, every day, until you die.

 

But is it living?

 

That's it. I'm inviting him over. And none of you can stop me

 

orb of utter wummary ****e

 

What a strange one he is. Quite pathetic.
