He was right you know, W.C. Fields, when he said, “If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it.” When Kevin Keegan was attacked with baseball bats when asleep in his Range Rover in a lay-by on the M25 in the small hours of the morning in 1991 - which is a perfectly reasonable thing for a high profile figure to be doing, and was in no way linked to a sordid sex act (cough cough dogger cough) - something must have been jarred lose and triggered a slow decline into senility. I cannot think of any other reason for him returning to Newcastle after the pigs arse he made of himself last time round.
It's amusing to me that the Toon Army refer to Keegan as the Messiah. The irony is as thick as Tyne fog. They really ought to stop bouncing about in front of the Sky Cameras for just a second and consider what a Messiah actually is. It's someone who's followed blindly by a group of people whose faith is unquestioning, who ultimately is killed off in some horribly painful way after a dismal failure (see the video below after Newcastle squandered a 15 point lead to Manchester United with about ten minutes to go in the season). This is going to end in tears, they won't listen to reason though. Reason is like kryptonite to a fanatic. I fear to watch yet I cannot turn away.
Mathew 15:14: - "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."

You are so right. And i was just about to do a similar article on my blog but i won't bother now because you've done it better. I've got a problem with my washer-drier at the moment as a matter of fact. Never mind, i'll just give Kevin Keegan a ring, he'll be able to fix it. Muppets.
