Well, saying it that way doesn't reveal much, does it?
Especially when we often couldn't manage 4/6 points in recent times, even with playing against teams like Derby, Sheffield United etc...
But, this is Keegan's Newcastle!!!!
Gosh, I wish I could be in Toon dressing room during Kevin's teamtalks. What on Earth do you say to the lot that gave away 11 goals in last two games against Manu to make them play like men, not like scared boys?
Well, ok, it wasn't quite the samo lot, but it's still newcastle XI, and those haven't done really well on this pitch...
First of all: Shay Given - fit again, aware, brave...just fantastic! I have to admit that I doubted that Shay will ever get back to his best, but thankfully he reassured me - and how! That double save from Rooney and Scholes was amazing. It's just like scoring a goal!
The new boys: Gutierrez, Guthrie and Coloccini... wow... I'm tryin' not to be euphoric, but they seem like massive signings already. Duff... N'Zogbia... well, it's like getting new players in when you compare their (non)performances last term...
Inspired, full of heart, pride and responsability. That is what we want to see, and that is what the lads gave us. And here is a special tribute to Obafemi Martins, who played despite his mother passing recently. He scored the goal for the fans, and the fans cheered him on and thus helping him to overcome a personal tragedy. It's all down to sticking together, isn't it?
