More fun at Newcastle...

Well, they've appointed two managers since the Summer, one's been sacked already, and that great bastion of unsettlement, the media, are trying to spread rumours the next one's on the way:

Not only that, but we also get, thanks to the BBC's lay-out, an insightful comment from some Newcastle fan or other, saying how everyone now must be able to see that Keegan was the wrong choice.

I'd love to have his explanation. Keegan's come in, and been forced to deal with someone else's squad, a squad more geared towards defensive grit than attacking flair, and Keegan's management career has hardly been filled with defensively strong sides. He's also come into a team low on confidence, and been asked to turn it around - oh and in his first six or seven games he's had to face Arsenal twice and Manchester United.

So what the hell's he been playing at? How come he hasn't got Newcastle up to the top of the table?

Mind you, I am forgetting this is Newcastle, and they will always be a good source of entertaining news, not too dissimilar to Manchester City...
