Welcome to the House of Pain
Aug 30 2009 by Neil Farrington, Sunday Sun
A YEAR ago on Tuesday, as word spread of Kevin Keegan walking out of St James’s Park for a third time, Newcastle United fans had that sinking feeling.
Little were they to know that, 12 months on, they would still be falling.
Down the Premier League table, down the credibility scale, through the relegation trapdoor, into an information vacuum and . . . who knows where?
Still falling now – off, if not on, the pitch – with rock bottom neither reached nor in sight.
St James’s Park is a house of pain swept up in a tempest and plummeting heaven knows where.
Sadly, the hopes of a soft landing on top of Mike Ashley (right), our very own wicked witch of the (North) East, are forlorn.
And most of the men offering to awaken Tyneside from this bad dream and return it home – to the Premier League – appear about as credible as the Wizard of Oz.
