So what happened with their takeover then? Another false dawn, or are they still going to overtake us next season>
TBF, I live in Newcastle, I know a LOT of Newcastle fans and Keegan rarely, if ever comes up in conversation. They are all pretty cynical to be honest.Spot on. If there's one thing nobody can accuse Newcastle fans of, it's being deluded

It doesn't even look particularly like the 1969 shirt other than the collar
1969
New one:
And that blue sponsor is hideous. I know people constantly moan about us having a red sponsor but at least it's a fairly plain text logo rather than this monstrosity.
You're right - they did get quite optimistic when Keegan came back but I think thatI know, just couldn't resist the opportunity to have a little dig. Was just joking around Most Newcastle fans I've met have been great. There was a lot of delusion during the "second coming" of the messiah though. Obviously as you say people don't really talk about it any more though. And to be honest, I think everyone would be pretty cynical if you'd been putting up with an owner like Ashley for all these years.
That is true. Can't blame them too much though as the firstcriticismas special, if ultimately trophy less. Unfortunately it's rarely as good the second time, particularly when you have a Mike Ashley in charge. Whatever criticism one can level at DL, he has a plan beyond merely surviving in the premier league.I know, just couldn't resist the opportunity to have a little dig.

Can you imagine Roy Keane after someone gives abuse- I'd pay good money to see if he could control his temper!Not Roy Keane surely ? Left Forest suddenly LOL..
That's them fucked then, for a team like Newcastle where clearly the manager is keeping it all together - for him to leave I fully expect them to go backwards now - can't emphasise enough the impact of Benitez leaving Newcastle will knock them for 6.
I expect this will be the final trigger for a lot of Geordies. A lot will stop going and they won't come back before Ashley finally sells.
