A few short years ago, Newcastle United were everyone's favourite other team. I'm not even talkin about under 'king Kev' ten years ago, but just a few years ago under Bobby Robson. They played attractive football, were managed by everyone's favourite ageing manager, and looked as if they could challenge the Man-U Arsenal monopoly on the Premiership (without ever actually doing so admittedly.)
Newcastle were stylish, loveable and most importantly, they were nearly-men. We like that - "Ooh, almost, not quite, nice try, well done".
So what on earth happened? They have the most obnoxious Chairman, who slags off lower league teams, as well as his own club's fans. They sacked lovely Bobby and replaced him with one of the the least likeable managers to be found. They have assembled the most cocky, work-shy, arrogant bunch of bling-bling players this side of Madrid.
Now Bowyer and Dyer are trading blows on the pitch!
Almost makes me feel sorry for Graeme Souness.
Almost...
