    Which Kevin Keegan found out to his detriment when he signed Faustino Asprilla. As much as it pains me to say it, Newcastle were a good team to watch back then. Keegan signed Aspilla more as a ‘look at me, I can sign who I want’ type signing rather than seeing if he would fit into the club dynamic. It unbalanced the team and it went to ****. Which was nice.

    Dropped Gillespie to play Beardsley right wing so they could get Asprilla up top and it all went to ****...


    ...which was nice.

    Just found out why Burnley hammered lLuton, according to some Ipswich fan on twitter (who is trying to claim his club is bigger than ours), , they were without 14 of the players involved in the Luton win against us.

    I’ve worked out that 9 first teamers started both games, and 12 in total were in the squad fir both games.so the reason they won, is that they are allowed a 26 player squad!
