[@manutd4life749]

Newcastle lost the title because of Asprilla and because Cantona was a God throughout the 2nd half of the season. He got 10 goals and 5 assists in the last 15 games. In between that run he scored in 6 consecutive games including winners against Newcastle Arsenal Spurs and Coventry and a stoppage time equaliser against QPR. His performance at Maine Road against City where he got a goal and 2 assists. I hate how he gets no recognition when people talk about one of the prems greatest imports. In his 4 full seasons in the prem he got double digit goals and assists in each 1 and he won the league in each of his full seasons. His playing style is probably most similar to Hazard of today but he was miles more consistent. I just wonder how much he’d be worth in today’s market. Remember £1.2 million. The biggest bargain in premier league history 😂😂😂

[@smartgenes1]

True, and Schmiechel as well esp. during the Newcastle game. But Newcastle should have went on to be the best team in the league the following year.. 5-0 against a team including Cantona & Beckham.. lost a bit of form then 7-1 against Spurs. It was too much for Keegan that Gerry Francis could lose his job after he demolished them, and he quit the club.

Everyone who wasn’t alive or have never stepped foot into a football stadium never mind old Trafford itself laughing and saying no purely because Newcastle no longer are the powerhouse they used to be. They were what. Almost 20 points clear? Newcastle had the better team. It wasn’t Fergie mind games, it was the players mind-set. Half way through the season they’re suddenly in an extremely good position to win the league, they didn’t expect to be at the top of the league never mind almost 20 points clear. Pressure got to them, they were no longer playing for each other and to have fun, and suddenly thought they had to start playing to win the league for the fans. Couldn’t cope with the pressure, stopped performing, fell behind and came second. Yes. They should have won the league. If they didn’t suddenly have so much pressure to win they would have. If nobody told them that they were so high up and could win it, and they only looked at the table at the end of the season, they could very well have found themselves sitting on 100+ points by the end.

That was title form too.

Newcastle led by 12 points in late January, having played an equal number of games. In 1997-98, Man Utd led Arsenal by 12 points in late February, but Arsenal had 3 games in hand. At some point in late 1997, Man Utd led Arsenal by 8 points when Arsenal had just one game in hand, but there was still more than half a season to go at that point. Man Utd were never coasting ahead, unlike Newcastle in 1995-96. The "first half of season versus second half of season" stats shown in this video don't tell the full story, because Newcastle didn't start to collapse until after the half-way point of the season. They lost to Man Utd at the end of 1995, but then they won 5 games in succession into early February, and were still in a position to lead by a clear 12 points if they won their games in hand. At that point, their record (from 25 games) was 19 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats (with 49 goals scored and 20 conceeded). Over the rest of the season (13 games), they had 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats, scoring 17 goals and conceeding 17. In fact, their entire collapse occured from late February to early April, when (from 8 games) they had 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats (i.e. 17 points dropped from a possible 24, after having only dropped 15 points from a possible 75 prior to that). Without Newcastle's collapse, no degree of title form could've given the title to Man Utd. The title of this video is actually a massive understatement.

I remember Manchester United in the 80s with wooden seats at old Trafford what ya all talking about 😉

[@mrjones29]

Simple answer? No! Man Utd was destined to win that season. I'm not putting that great Newcastle team's downfall on one big rant from the manager. How many times has Mourinho had a rant at the clubs he managed and still the team won leagues and cups! It's a little that the Newcastle team were caught up and passed by seasoned winners on their tails who's been at the edge of glory and succeeded many times before.

[@andertonchigoneka5331]

At least Keegan was loving it

[@Lonewolfx124xxx]

I really love David we had an excellent squad a team that were United and we were so close maybe we just in retrospect needed to take a step back look at our Liverpool game 3-1 up at Anfield lose 1-0 at home at St James to Manchester United

[@MMKLYH]

Love ginola, top man

[@Adam-ui3ot]

“If you don’t fight for your team mate you will never win anything” Manchester United pampered players take note.

[@toddtomato]

13 premier league titles and a few runners ups but i have to say if newcastle would have won this one i would not have begrudge them their moment of glory

[@TomRogersOnline]

To be candid, although it was mind games and a bit out of order, Alex Ferguson was correct in his comments about that Leeds side. They greatly underachieved that season. If you look at the players they had: McAllister, Speed, Gray, Brolin, Deane, Yeboah, Masinga, etc., on paper it was one of the most talented sides Leeds have ever fielded. I think it was a shame Newcastle didn't take the title. Not just a shame for Newcastle, a shame for the game as a whole, as dominance by one club greatly damaged English domestic football. Kevin Keegan's rant is an iconic moment and, although it could be seen as unprofessional, for me it developed my sympathies for him as a manager and person. I really wish they'd won it! That moment would have been immense for Keegan and Newcastle as a city, and it would have done a lot of good.

Bettered only by Keegan's meltdown in the Wembley toilets after the Germany game in 2000

[@Licoen]

If Newcastle got the help that Liverpool get from the referees at the moment , they’d have won it.

[@jasonahdjfhsdfg]

Or City

[@fndthousing]

United always got loads of help from the referee when they won their titles too

[@romulus3345]

@@fndthousing.. They were also helped by the greatest midfield the Premier League has ever seen.. Keane, Scholes, Giggs & Beckham.

I swear the referees what manage newcastle games are bent

[@guillezorro]

2:42 'Your defence was one of the best in the league'. But the worst in the top 5

[@anthonybardsley4985]

Great man Kevin keegan. Wonderful football happened when he was a manager. Fergie simply out foxed him.

[@RohitSharma-mi8gt]

Not many managers took on Fergie. Heck even the refs did not.

[@TheDvdral]

I think when Keegan signed Asprilla he upset the whole balance of the team at the most important part of the season. Ginola and Gillespie on the wings, the great Peter Beardsley in behind Les Ferdinand. That front 4 was unstoppable at times. Signs asprilla for a big price tag has to play him. Cant drop Ferdinand or ginola. Beardsley is still so amazing that he cant drop him so Gillespie is the fall guy. They weren't the same threat with Ferdinand and Asprilla in my opinion. I'm not saying signing asprilla was wrong but the timing was very wrong.

[@juanaltredo2974]

years later fergie did the same to "fachts benitez", it was even funnier then, the FSW taking out a paper with his notes, Fergie was the master

[@samdoesvids1339]

Don’t worry David! Now we’ve got the money we’re gonna win it all!!

[@calzonie5763]

Now we have an owner who’s sucking the very soul out of our club and can’t even push for top ten never mind top 6 and the only reason we’re not in league 2 is because of Rafa

[@NathanSweeney]

😥

[@stevoc9930]

Maybe a Saudi Prince will come along and buy Newcastle and make them a footballing powerhouse...or maybe not. Lol

[@calzonie5763]

Stevo C that joke was so good

[@stevoc9930]

Calzonie Thanks I’m here all week. 😎

[@spuckmondo]

Your defensive record was 3rd or 4th best in the league. Shows table where 4 of the top 6 have a better defensive record!

[@VaeVictis96]

"Don't want to make excuses, but it was tiredness and metal tiredness" You played the same amount of matches as the other teams, that's a small club mentality and excuse if you ask me. They weren't good enough simple as.

[@Vortigan07]

Yeah I'm afraid it's no more complicated than they bottled it!
