David Ginola believes Newcastle should have won the Premier League in 1995/96! | MNF 

When going away to Middlesbrough was a tough away premier league fixture

Jamie carragher with the clever insight there. He says you have to score goals to win games.

Ginola can speak English better than Carragher

As an Arsenal fan i have to say...Ginola was a brilliant guest. So interesting to hear his thoughts.

please make david ginola a regular pundit... amazing.

United fan here but Ginola... what a legend, a pleasure to watch that guy play.

Carragher: "did you not score enough goals to win those games?" Well done, professor

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.

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.

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!!!

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?

Ginola what a player , seen him play at the age of 33 and he was still unbelievable. The pace of the man was scary.

This is why Spurs and Newcastle fans love David. He brought us so much joy

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.😞😤

Lol Fergie almost sent Keegan to a mental home with the mind games 😂😂! Man went mental with that rant haha

"True champions can adapt to anything, no matter the excuse or explanation" - Cus D'Amato

I'm a gooner but there's always a respect for David Ginola.

in my opinion, i think keegan would've loved it if he beat them

Keegan would've loved it 😂

Carragher drawing that red circle around their defense & complimenting it and realising they were the 5th worse defense in the top 5!🤣

Since when has it become a bad thing to show passion and fight? Keegans rant was brilliant

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.

From somalia... Love Ginola,what a man

My fave season as a Toon fan . We will get nowhere near that again under the FCB!

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 😂😂😂

A great player and a wonderful team. Such a shame that they had a poor run in and didn't do a Leicester.

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.

Growing up as a kid in the 90s in Newcastle was summit else...The peak of sky sports

Ginola was some player

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

They were great to watch and I'll never forget the Liverpool game. COLLYMOOOOORE!!!!!!

Ginola = pure class

Loved Keegan at Newcastle. (I’m not a Newcastle fan)

I loved Kevin Keegan passion

Makes you think how remarkable what Leicester accomplished.

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

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

Shame that Abrahamovic didnt buy Newcastle instead of Chelsea. Things could have been so different.

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

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.

We went from 12 points clear from United in 96 to bottling it

Really miss Keegan in football.

I do agree with Ginola...it's a big shame how things turned out scenes that year and now we are in 2021

One of the great shames of the Premier League that Newcastle didn' t win the title in 96.

Ginola.... legend, and oh such a dreamboat - and I'm straight! 😁😉❤️⚽️

Remember when Ginola was on fifa cover was a great game

When football was football, when men wore short shorts and players had passion that money could nt buy.

Love him 😍😍😍

Klopp in a few Weeks 😬😬😬

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.

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

Oh Kevin you silly little man. You fell into the fergie trap hook line and sinker.

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.

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

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......

Aston Villa 4th place! Back when my club wasn't an embarrasment

You've gotta love David Ginola.

Newcastle really should have won it in 96

Love ginola, top man

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

I would love ittttt if we beat them!

As a united fan , I believe Newcastle deserved it. 12 point lead

The games vs United at St James, and vs Liverpool at Anfield were devastating mentally

3 men destroyed their flow... Cantona, Collymore, and Asprilla

Ginola is such an elegant man. As a player or in a suit!

"How to over-complicate a question" by Jamie Carragher

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.

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

this legend just landed himself a hefty contract worth alot of money from sky sports

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

Still cracks me up 🤣

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.

thank u tom wilson .IT STILL HURTS TO THIS DAY LOL .

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

ginola is going to play rutger hauer in an upcoming biopic

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.

What stadium are they at?

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

This is the battle of accents. Ginola talks really well, I´m surprised.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

At least Keegan was loving it

He shouldn't have bought Asprilla. Should've gone balls out for Baggio.

How does a team go 12 points ahead and still lose the title. As an Arsenal fan, I’ll never know.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

That would have been great for the premier league

Great times but once teams figured out the all attack play we started losing too many games.

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