Wor Kevin back to the toon man!
The happy smiley is for Newcastle being a joke club, but in the true sense of the word. The geordies have a cheerful sentimentality that puts a smile on your face, in the way that, say, Liverpool fans do not. I think there really was something to their rejection of the Allardyce brand of football. They haven’t won anything since God was a kid, but still cannae tolerate the winning-ugly brand of football that a lot of prem clubs play.
Kevin Keegan though :smack: I like the guy but he’s completely past it. For such a heart on the sleeve, plain speaker he always strikes me as being quite introspective. His last year at City he looked like he was on death row - totally burned out with the game. The prem is no place for fairy tales these days, alas. A fatuous, pandering chairman + fragile, tactically inept manager = trouble brewing in the toon.
