The last time Kevin Keegan encountered Roy Keane, Kev was manager at Man City while Keane was the rampaging, all conquering, snarling captain of the champions.
When Kev went off to play golf and set up soccer school in Scotland, Roy was the last thing on his mind.
But since his return he has to be on his mind now. A few weeks ago I wrote here about a big three games for RKS (Roy Keane's Sunderland) and how he could be in trouble if he did not do well in those games and especially so if Kev got Newcastle firing.
Well I know nothing.
RKS took 6 points, against teams also down in the brown stuff, while Newcastle have still to win under Keegan, and yesterday lost 4-1 to Villa, with a defensive display that was more wet than SpongeBob Squarepants.
RKS are just two behind points behind Newcastle now. Keegan hinted at relegation in his post match interview yesterday, which shows it is definitely playing on his mind.
Despite my previous ineptitude in this field I am saying now that this is a crucial 3 games for Newcastle now.
They play United, Blackburn and Liverpool in the next three Premier League games. Hard to see many points there for them. Shay Given is injured. They are only 6 points ahead of Reading in 18th.
Bet you wish you had stayed on the golf course now don't you Kev. Well at least you can turn to massive team of advisors hired above your head in Newcastle. Oh you don't want anything to do with them eh. Well there is always Shearer. Oh, not speaking to him either.
Looks like you are the lonliest man in the Geordie nation.
