When going away to Middlesbrough was a tough away premier league fixture
Boro was United's bogey team
Only teams that beat utd during treble season were boro and wednesday if I'm not mistaken. Proper bogey teams.
Benjamin Rooker And Arsenal. United lost 3 games in the league that season.
2017: Boro 2-2 Man City Boro 0-0 Everton 2009: Boro 2-0 Liverpool 2008: Boro 1-1 Arsenal Boro 2-1 Spurs Boro 8-1 Man City Boro 2-2 Man United Boro 1-1 Liverpool 2007: Boro 2-1 Arsenal Boro 1-1 Arsenal 2006: Boro 0-0 Liverpool Boro 2-1 Chelsea Boro 3-0 Chelsea 2005: Boro 4-1 Man United Boro 2-1 Arsenal Boro 0-0 Liverpool Boro 1-0 Spurs 2004: Boro 3-2 Man City 2003: Boro 5-1 Spurs 2002: Boro 3-1 Man United 2000: Boro 1-0 Chelsea 1996: Boro 3-3 Liverpool
@Josh Heaps In the championship (and in football) anyone can beat anyone, unless your someone like Norwich
As an Arsenal fan i have to say...Ginola was a brilliant guest. So interesting to hear his thoughts.
what's with this: "as an x fan...." - wtf has being a fan of another club have anything to do with not appreciating great players??
French ya see
@@mitchsullo indeed
@j1277mac what does that have to do with my comments? If you dont like them, ignore them. Be happy 👍
@j1277mac i like what he is saying here yeah. Past is the past. Onwards & upwards mate.
Jamie carragher with the clever insight there. He says you have to score goals to win games.
hahaha
Such a thinker he is.
You also have to ensure you're strong at the back, garth.
So annoying, so over dramatic about pointing out the goals
😆😆
please make david ginola a regular pundit... amazing.

Bullshit. He can hardly string 2 sentences together in English.
I agree with you.
Tony Broderick hes french I’d like to see you string two sentences in french u mug
Ginola can speak English better than Carragher
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can't understand a word from Carragher.
scouse not english
Carra isn’t English
Carragher doesn’t speak English!
I always remember the Newcastle team of 95/96, it all came apart with losses to Liverpool and Blackburn. We remember that Newcastle team more than the team that won the PL that year. This shows how they won our hearts.
That Newcastle team is one of the most memorable runners-up, sure, but come on, the 95/96 United side was the "You'll never win anything with kids" team. It's arguably Ferguson's most iconic team.
@@scarlz8719 Man U did blood a new generation of kids who went onto dominate the next decade. Apart from Cantona with his trawlers, shrimps and seagulls, and a string of 1-0 wins in the run-in, what else was memorable about that Man U side?
@@shahedmc9656 That 96 Utd side is remembered as the " You can't win with Kids" Side
@@micahkiyimba8641 tht was 92 though
That team made the premier league box office. Sky sports and the premier league is where it is today because of "the entertainers "
United fan here but Ginola... what a legend, a pleasure to watch that guy play.
He was a truly beautiful footballer. In today's era he would have 100million followers on instagram his own underwear brand and doing cover shoots for Vogue at half-time.
As a Liverpool fan I wanted Newcastle to do well and during that few years I loved watching them. Even the year they came up they were really impressive with Cole and Beardsley forming one of the best strike partnerships ever.
Great times to be a fan.
Yes the Geordies are closer to Scousers than anyone. Both port cities, both humorous...
Cole wasn't even at Newcastle in 95/96 season.
@@thadonis.
Where did I say he was? 🤣
When you look at how important Man City's first title was to their growth as a big club, it just goes to show what might have been for Newcastle. Heartbreaking but, at the same time, exciting football to watch!!!
They were never going to win the league with Darren Peacock in defence
I think they will win it in a few years time. New owners with money to help.
No, what was important to Manchester City for the growth of the club was the Arab oil billions funding the buying of the best players in the world. Football is no longer a sport.
That was a great season, gutted Newcastle didn't win it. What a team they had back then some proper players. Was that the season they lost to Liverpool 4-3 in a really good game, Collymore got the winner?
Both games that season were brilliant. Unforgettable
Carragher: "did you not score enough goals to win those games?"
Well done, professor
Ginola what a player , seen him play at the age of 33 and he was still unbelievable. The pace of the man was scary.
Definitely one of the greatest, maligned by Houllieir and France in general because their midfielders and defenders couldn't stop an admittedly strong Bulgarian counter attack.
Being a NUFC fan since 1983 I remember that season very well, we were not called the entertainers for nothing, unfortunately the mind games got to king Kev. To this day I’ll never forget how gutted I was we missed out on the Premiere league title.😞😤
And then he left 3 months after signing shearer 😮 he must have been mentally drained . Still love kev though
@@conorsmith8551, yes that’s very true. Kevin Keegan will always be a legend. We wouldn’t be where we’re now without him and what he did to rebuild this awesome club.
Lol Fergie almost sent Keegan to a mental home with the mind games 😂😂! Man went mental with that rant haha
It was pure passion from keegan
Hes a newcastle boy so of course hes going to care about the team
Keegan bottled it
JakeIsGone keegan is not a Newcastle boy he’s from Yorkshire
jasser2878 supported Newcastle all his life nd played for Newcastle think that’s what he’s getting at
Anyone with a brain could see Ferguson was dangling the bait, and Keegan fell for it hook, line and sinker.
Since when has it become a bad thing to show passion and fight? Keegans rant was brilliant
Nah. He showed that he took the bait and looked like he had lost the plot. That should have been a rant away from the cameras.
Not a bad thing he just didn’t win the title after he did that which is jokes
Fergie played him like a tin whistle
You show passion and fight. But you have to stay calm, cool and collected under pressure to be a champion. 😎
It was only truly panned to the degree he was laughed at after Utd won the league. If Newcastle had won they’d have been lauding his passion.

This is why Spurs and Newcastle fans love David. He brought us so much joy
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 😂😂😂
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.
Cantona should have been banned from football for the rest of his life for what he did to that fan people seem to have forgotten what he did...King my ARSE
What are you talking about. He is always mentioned as one of the top foreign players in the league.
@@smittenthekitteninmittens2679 that “fan” was a thug who got exactly what he deserved.
ManUTD 4 Life, Go and bollocks, we did NOT lose the title because of Asprilla, we lost it because the whole team bottled it, Tino put in some magnificent performance’s, something you would not know about, being a manure supporter, ( it’s easy to support a winning team) Cantona was a good player, that good he quit and went into acting, says everything about Manchester doesn’t it.
Whether it was because ManUtd didn't spend anything that season despite letting 3 big players go i.e Hughes, Ince and Kanchelskis all replaced by their own youth players (which was also risky because of course ManUtd were without Cantona for the first couple of months of that season as well, although they done alright without him to be fair but needed him later) 1995/96 was still the hardest Premier League title race ManUtd have won.
CD DB coming back from a 12 point deficit. Only sir Alex could get a team to do that.
@@Supernormalbob Well Arsenal did it to ManUtd 2 years later but yeah it is quite rare. Also ManUtd still won 95/96 by 4 points so that's even more impressive than Arsenal's comeback.
Newcastle in the mid 90's deserved at least one trophy, a little sad really. It shows, if you don't win trophies only people who were there know you were any good.
They did get one
@@robertminnis3244 I don't count winning any league outside of the top flight as a trophy...
@@rainman11985 technically it is a trophy but I agree with your principle, the championship trophy is basically an award for getting promoted. My best friend is a Newcastle United fan and when they last got relegated I 'consoled' him by reminding him it meant they might win a trophy the next season.
My fave season as a Toon fan . We will get nowhere near that again under the FCB!
One might even say you loved it
I'm a gooner but there's always a respect for David Ginola.
A great player and a wonderful team. Such a shame that they had a poor run in and didn't do a Leicester.
They were great to watch and I'll never forget the Liverpool game. COLLYMOOOOORE!!!!!!
One of the best premier league games ever
In hindsight we should have let Newcastle win...
@@kevinhurt1959 lmao you cut off your nose to spite your face...
United fans cheered for Liverpool that night 😂
I remember Keegan's head dropping. Like somebody ripped his heart out. Poor bastard
in my opinion, i think keegan would've loved it if he beat them
Carragher drawing that red circle around their defense & complimenting it and realising they were the 5th worse defense in the top 5!🤣
of all the titles we have won ,i would say the one where we beat newcastle to the final post was possibly the only one we should not have won ,in my opinion newcastle lost the title rather than we won it
Newcastle should've won it in 96, in my honest opinion I can't see Newcastle winning or getting anywhere near close to the premier league it's a shame really
Head up lad, it won't be long till more teams get new owners in the Premier League, I'm not a Newcastle supporter but there will be more teams in this "top 6" over time.

I've always thought the new year signings of Asprilla and Batty, when they were well clear of United, cost Newcastle the '95-96 title. The new signings upset Newcastle's rhythm and jolted what was a well-oiled machine.
batty was needed to tighten up at back in middle, though yer probably right on asprilla

One of the great shames of the Premier League that Newcastle didn' t win the title in 96.
12 Points ahead of United in January.
Bottle jobs!
Mojo K 13 points wasn’t it? Unbelievable capitulation either way.
From somalia...
Love Ginola,what a man
Should have won? They gave up a 12 point lead. A 12 POINT LEAD!!!! And he thinks they should have won it. If you allow yourself to slip up that badly, you are not worthy winners.
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.
jamie no lies told
12 points not 20 points.
but still 12 points are alot.
20 points? The most with 12 and even then had played more games. Nostalgia is strong you in my man.
We could only dream of coming 2nd nowadays. 22 years on, we are fighting for survival every season and failing to invest in quality players
Almost*** 20 points you bellends
Reading comprehension is low
When football was football, when men wore short shorts and players had passion that money could nt buy.
Hmmmm sounds more like the 70's that does.
not really look at the kits look at the main players who played. No amount of money would by there passion. Hence y shearer never left.
@@deewilliams2823 yea the 70's
Not in the 90's, the shorts were more akin to what they wear now. But if you are talking about short shorts, take a look at the 70s speedos.
Dee Williams shearer was a record transfer on massive wages for the time....
I haven't seen David Ginola since NUFC thrashed Man its at Newcastle.pleased to see he is still looking well.Thanks David for your amazing skills
You haven’t seen him since then? He literally carried on playing in the PL for years after with Spurs, Villa and Everton..:
What let Newcastle down that season was their record against teams around them in the league. Manchester United beat them home and away. They had tough fixtures in the run in at Highbury, Anfield and away at Blackburn when they were champions. They couldn't dig out the results
Sad but true pal how we lost at ewood I never know 😭
Ginola = pure class
Ginola was some player
Loved Keegan at Newcastle. (I’m not a Newcastle fan)
Cant believe Newcastle haven't been bought by someone with mega money one of the best supported teams in England good stadium not the worst place in England to live either
one problem MIKE ASHLEY
they have now!
Shame that Abrahamovic didnt buy Newcastle instead of Chelsea. Things could have been so different.
I heard he was on his way to buy spurs but they accidentally stumbled into Chelsea on the way
and here we are now...
I loved Kevin Keegan passion
Makes you think how remarkable what Leicester accomplished.
Remember when Ginola was on fifa cover was a great game
Yeah fifa 96 maybe 97 with that iconic top
Let's be honest Newcastle was the best side that season. You think that moment with Keegan really harmed Newcastle and they haven't recovered since. The 95-96 season is in my top 2 best PL seasons of all time
The Newcastle players have said that it was not Keegan's rant that lost the title.
They were just too inconsistent in the end.
Loved Ginola though, great player and good listening to him here.
We went from 12 points clear from United in 96 to bottling it
Shame that we will probably will never hear Newcastle be called the entertainers ever again Newcastle have a huge man base they have a massive history don’t know anyone who hates Newcastle
I do agree with Ginola...it's a big shame how things turned out scenes that year and now we are in 2021
Klopp in a few Weeks 😬😬😬
Oh Kevin you silly little man. You fell into the fergie trap hook line and sinker.
Really miss Keegan in football.
As a united fan , I believe Newcastle deserved it. 12 point lead
I loved it when we won it loved it
Aston Villa 4th place!
Back when my club wasn't an embarrasment
Darkhalls villa are where they should be
Darkhalls At least people think Grealish will become world class since he chose England over Ireland. 100 million from City when a winger gets injured is all it’ll take. Good luck!
That because you had weapons upfront like savo Milosevic who ended up going to Parma for £20 million a few years down the line Dwight Yorke ,Southgate the late Ugo ,Ian Taylor , Alan Wright, even I use to manage Aston villa on championship manager 2 and do well with them
@@laurencesdaddy6392 Of course they are. You have to earn your right to play at the highest level.
If you don't perform you don't deserve to be there.
As an Everton fan I remember hating to watch them play Aston Villa and Charlton, used to struggle massively, it's so weird to see teams like Bolton, Blackburn etc just gone now.
Love Ginola, great guest. Manchester United clearly won and deserved to win the title that season, Newcastle clearly didn't because they couldn't win enough games and I felt they were below Man Utds level in a group of five teams, Spurs, Everton, Arsenal, Liverpool and Villa. Liverpool and Villa as well as Newcastle had successful seasons that year and they shouldn't look back in regret because they worked so hard that season.
They should have yep, they completely blew what was it an 11 point lead? I remember the amazing football they played under keegan they were immense to watch at times
12 point lead :(
Utd won quite a few games 1-0 in March and April whereas Newcastle were going gung ho and conceding quite a few goals in key games. Good to watch but they weren’t good enough at the back to cope. Key differences were Eric who was unplayable at times, Schmichel best gk in world and finally a settled back 4. Great season though 2 quality sides long before the Oil nonsense we have these days......
You could say that but you could also say United should have beat Blackburn in 94/95 and united should have held out in 2012 when city won on goal difference on the last day the game that season were they were 4-2 up against Everton and ended in a 4-4 draw cost them the title that year
Ginola.... legend, and oh such a dreamboat - and I'm straight! 😁😉❤️⚽️
Something that Mourinho said yoi need champions in your squad to win a league. The pressure got to Newcastle players. It was a good season though.
Ginola is a great guy was a great footballer and talks sense
Newcastle really should have won it in 96
A 12 point lead sounds huge but when you think about it Man Utd won 15, lost 2 and drew 2 of their last 19 and during that run they beat Newcastle twice. So that means Newcastle actually had to defend a 6 point lead across the other 17 games against a team who won 13 and drew 2 of them. Not so easy.
Ginola talked about the foundation as 95/96, it’s a good analogy, it was envisaged as such but just there was cracks. I mean there was structural issues with dalglish and gullit then sir Bobby tried to get the project back on course to see it through again to fruition, champs league qualification was like almost seeing the realisation of it to finish the job and press on but then he was sacked (disgracefully) and it just ruined what was great after that . That was 96-04 I think ? 8 years to build a house and then have it smashed to bits
3 men destroyed their flow... Cantona, Collymore, and Asprilla
PETER SCHMEICHEL
People blame Asprilla when he added flair, goals and even a gorgeous assist on his debut. Man Utd just put together and awesome run and the victory at St James Park was key. Huge 6 pointer
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
Everyone says Newcastle should have won the title and that they lost it, rather than United winning it. Flip side to that is, united still had to claw that lead back. I think in the last 19 games United won 15, that's title form. 2 years later in 1998, Arsenal did something similar when they won the 10 games in a row and had clawed back a similar points difference against united. 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.
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.
"How to over-complicate a question" by Jamie Carragher
Ginola is such an elegant man.
As a player or in a suit!
thank u tom wilson .IT STILL HURTS TO THIS DAY LOL .
ginola is going to play rutger hauer in an upcoming biopic
Fergies mind games got to Keegan 😁
No.
Keegan got to Keegan.
Fergie lost the plot against Leeds. He said exactly what everybody was thinking at the time and his reaction was one of an ordinary man getting something off of his chest.
Keegan simply took it the wrong way and the rest is history.
RayMerrell68 well said
Fergie was a master or gently adding pressure and psyching out the opposition. Keegan got proper rattled
The 90's belonged to Fergie.. 5 League titles, 3 Doubles and the Treble.
Fergie was the lion of the PL. Every time someone tried to take his kingdom he would knock them down. Wenger, Mourihno, Ancelotti Mancini all failed to remove him from the throne only temporary. His PL trophy drought seasons was 2003 04 - 2005 06
How does a team go 12 points ahead and still lose the title. As an Arsenal fan, I’ll never know.
Bottle Jobs that’s why
This aged well, didn't it?
You've gotta love David Ginola.
Not many managers took on Fergie. Heck even the refs did not.
this legend just landed himself a hefty contract worth alot of money from sky sports
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
Your defensive record was 3rd or 4th best in the league. Shows table where 4 of the top 6 have a better defensive record!
At least Keegan was loving it
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
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.
“If you don’t fight for your team mate you will never win anything” Manchester United pampered players take note.
Bettered only by Keegan's meltdown in the Wembley toilets after the Germany game in 2000
2:42 'Your defence was one of the best in the league'. But the worst in the top 5
Don’t worry David! Now we’ve got the money we’re gonna win it all!!
If Newcastle got the help that Liverpool get from the referees at the moment , they’d have won it.
Or City
United always got loads of help from the referee when they won their titles too
@@fndthousing.. They were also helped by the greatest midfield the Premier League has ever seen.. Keane, Scholes, Giggs & Beckham.
Dean Lewington *shitstorm of pissed off Liverpool fans incoming*
I swear the referees what manage newcastle games are bent
I remember Manchester United in the 80s with wooden seats at old Trafford what ya all talking about 😉
He shouldn't have bought Asprilla. Should've gone balls out for Baggio.
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.
Great man Kevin keegan. Wonderful football happened when he was a manager. Fergie simply out foxed him.
I would love ittttt if we beat them!
This is the battle of accents. Ginola talks really well, I´m surprised.
Love him 😍😍😍
The games vs United at St James, and vs Liverpool at Anfield were devastating mentally
Newcastle throwing away the PL title is like a bank robber robbing a bank of millions in cash, getting it back home without being detected or seen by anybody, cleaning the money then burying it in the walls.. sitting back with your feet up while the whole search for the bank robbers is on the news.. and on the last day of the search being almost called off, they start pulling it from out their walls and throwing it out of their windows and all over the lawn. IRONICALLY, they blamed their next door neighbour (Man United) as the reasoning for them throwing the money out of the windows when they were simply doing what ANYBODY would have done, and thats collect the damn money.
Great times but once teams figured out the all attack play we started losing too many games.
The legacy of that season is no one else has attempted Keegan style swashbuckling football. City are the nearest thing, but they are better organised and have more talent. Modern teams would close Keegan's Newcastle down, and by '96 the Prem had them sussed. As a neutral it would be good if they had pinched it but it wasn't to be. Keegan's outburst is only remembered because he failed. If he's have won everyone would have said "Good old Kev".
