Kevin Keegan says that Mark Viduka can provide his Newcastle United team with the spark they have lacked in recent weeks. Fitness issues have restricted the Australia striker to one substitute appearance since Keegan’s return to St James’ Park in January, but he is expected to be involved in the Barclays Premier League match away to Birmingham City on Monday. “If he’d been fit and available, Mark is the kind of player you want on your teamsheet every week,” Keegan said. “You always want your best players available, but forwards who can score you goals and win you matches and who have experience, you need them especially. If we can have a fit Mark Viduka for the last nine games, that’ll be a huge bonus for us.” Keegan dismissed reports that Viduka’s fitness had prompted a dispute between the pair. “I get on really well with Mark and I’ve never had a bust-up with any player at this club, and that’s the truth. “He’s got this fantastic ability to score goals in tight situations and to score goals at important times. That’s what wins you football matches. You saw Fernando Torres the other night score a goal [for Liverpool] when a lot of players would have taken another touch, and Mark comes into that category, too. He doesn’t need a lot of space, he can do the unexpected.”

With their benifactor, Brooks Mileson seriously ill, Gretna look to be disapearing off the footballing map before the weekend, if Mike Ashley dropped dead do you think we could find ourselves in a similar situation ?

I can see it resembles a cow pat but I can't see any jizz in his hair ?

Actually perhaps that should have been: "you bweed wike Mywee"

"you bleed like Mylee"

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is planning an £8million summer swoop for Newcastle star James Milner. Winger Milner, 22, has threeyears left on his contract at St James' Park after signing a new deal last summer. But O'Neill believes he can lure the England Under-21 star away - especially if struggling Newcastle go down. Milner spent a successful year on loan at Villa in 2005/2006.

We were this shit under Allardyce, but we were this shit versus the likes of Derby and Wigan.

If only we'd spunked £12M up the wall on the likes of Alves in our desperation to sign someone.....anyone. Aye, at least we'd not be moaning about Alan Smith

Thank god we didn't waste any money in January.........

You aren't the only one......

One day you'll write a book about this club. Or, more to the point, about me. So you may as well know what I'm thinking and save it up for later when it won't do any harm to anyone."

Lidl's didn't sell Buckfast so we made the dog piss in this bottle.

When does he want picking up ? I'm willing to make a 500mile detour....

What a brilliant album

A red Austin Metro 1.1, without doubt the worst piece of junk I have ever owned, it is rather alarming as a novice motorist when you get overtaken by your own rear wheel.....

I'd give him credit for his honesty, and move on, an ex is an ex.

For a fan of a team that hadn't won a cup competition before 1965, that is brilliant

Just start a thread in GC about me if I'm bothering you that much. Vanity is a sin. So's wearing your Mam's clothes in some cultures. It is ?

Trust me dude, I've tried polishing my turnip on many an occasion !

You gotta question the wisdom of Ashley then, and the wisdom of Keegan. Never mind he rates Smith etc. The squad isn't good enough, and thats thanks to the recruitments by Souness, Roeder and Allardyce more so than Keegan, but once again it makes the failure to spend money in January all the more foolish.
