Premier League 2010 2011 Newcastle Manchester City

La meilleure équipe à l'extérieur est Manchester City. Voir donc Newcastle prendre le dessus sur les Citizens à quelque chose d'illogique. Même le passé plaide clairement en faveur de City qui n'a pas perdu lors de ses 8 derniers matches aux Magpies. Newcastle s'appuiera en tout cas sur son dernier succès sur Liverpool (3-1) pour déjouer les pronostics et surtout mettre fin à une malédiction lors du boxing day où ils n'ont plus gagné depuis 2001. On oubliera quand même pas de dire que City reste sur une défaite face à une très moyenne équipe d'Everton la semaine dernière.

Shearer On Shearer The Story


Alan Shearer has justified the status he once held as the world's most expensive footballer by scoring more goals than anyone else since the launch of the Premier League in 1992. Shearer is the first player since the 1930s, the heyday of the bustling, robust English centre-forward, to score more than 30 goals in the top division in three successive seasons. His tally of 34 goals in 1994-95, the middle season of his outstanding run, helped Blackburn Rovers win the championship title for the first time in 81 years. 'Alan is a player in a class of his own,' Kenny Dalglish, the then Blackburn manager, said. 'He lifts the whole team and turns draws into victories. In a word: priceless.' John Barnes, the England winger, described Shearer's value to his team as 'incalculable'. Shearer stands alone as the leading goalscorer in the history of Premier League. Between 1992-93 and the end of 2004-05, he scored 250 league goals for Blackburn and Newcastle United. His outstanding form during the mid-1990s had raised his value in the transfer market seven-fold in the space of five years: from £2.2 million, the fee Dalglish paid Southampton in 1992, to the £15.6 million fee Newcastle United invested in 1996. Shearer has been transferred twice in his career: the first of his transfer fees was a British record; the second was a world record sum for a footballer. It was widely reported that Blackburn refused to sell Shearer to Manchester United earlier in 1997 for fear that his arrival at Old Trafford would make Alex Ferguson's side unbeatable. Jack Walker, the millionaire benefactor at Ewood Park, even offered to make Shearer the player-manager of Rovers, at the age of just 25, in a last-ditch effort to keep him at the club, but the lure of Newcastle United proved too strong for a player who had supported the club as a boy.

  Deprived of star striker Alan Shearer through injury, Newcastle United manager Kenny Dalglish had to rely in the competition on veterans Ian Rush and John Barnes, and £7.5 million signing Coombian Faustino Asprilla. Qualifying as English league runners-up, and playing for the first time in the tournament, they met Croatia Zagreb at home in the first leg of the second qualifying round.

Division Two 1983 1984 Newcastle Brighton


42e journee
12 mai 1984
St. James Park


  One of only four Newcastle players ever to return to the club as manager, Kevin Keegan occupied a prime place in the affections of all Newcastle supporters in two dramatically successful playing years in the stripes from 1982 to 1984. Keegan galvanised the slumbering club and left with United a First Division side, but then was called on to return as manager after eight years out of the game to guide United away from the bottom of the Second Division and into the newly-formed Premier League.

Newcastle Division Two 1992 1993 Champions

 Newcastle did not just win promotion. They went up with superb panache and style into the bargin. Kevin Keegan's men set record after record including a club best points haul and United's biggest number of wins in a season. Their magnificent start of 11 wins in the first 11 games provided the platform on which the First Division Championship was won. And while there were a few mini stutters on the way, they also ended the season powerfully to take the title with plenty to spare. So where was the difference from a side that had only just escaped relegation the previous season? Most importantly, Keegan instilled enthusiasm and confidence. The players almost expected to go up before a ball was kicked. He bought well during the summer, particularly at fullback where Barry Venison and John Beresford had magnificent seasons.
