Keegan out!

Good heavens, the latest crisis to engulf Newcastle. Mike Ashley must have let that pint he sunk so swiftly on Saturday do the talking for him.

Probably like most fans (who aren't from Sunderland or Middlesbrough) I have a soft spot for Newcastle as a real footballing club, and want to see them do well. But blimey, just lately they've set new records for chaotic farce even by their own high standards.

Selling Milner! Not selling Barton, when they had a decent offer and he was willing to go! No new contract for Owen! Whatever mysterious thing happened to Arthur Cox! Dennis Wise! (Dennis Wise! I ask you.)

But Newcastle have been a farce (well, a black-and-white comedy) for years. Pissing off the messiah on his second coming by selling his favourite player is just another scene.

More astonishing is the whole Manchester City saga; at the moment, it's like watching an express train full of playful monkeys hurtling towards a broken bridge - yes, it's fun, it's sure to end in tragedy, but even that will somehow raise a smile.

And there was me hoping they (MC) would go bankrupt as just deserts for the fans being so keen on the money of a 3rd world kleptocrat.

Mm -- I'm not sure quite what it goes to show, but something.

Maybe they'll bring Sven back -- I can't see "old-fashioned" Hughes feeling all that happy in the new mood.
