I’d be careful with those views mate.
You’ll have grown men standing outside your house shouting at it.
I'm used to it. I just speak from the mind and try to be as honest as I can. Tin hats help though.Prepare for trouble, inbound![]()

It was a strange time, that. It seemed like Man Utd had got into Cole's head, because once he was in the know about Man Utd's interest, he seemed to lose heart playing for us, not to mention blaming shin splints, which seemed to disappear when he signed for Man Utd.Keegan wasn’t all that imho. Yes, I admit he had you playing entertaining football but where he slipped up was in selling Cole to a rival for the title. I could understand selling him to a continental club but not a rival when you were in pole position to win the league
I was in shock that morning when I found out. I was taking the bairn to school and one of the lads shouted " what do you think about Cole being sold" I said " Aye, of course he has mate (sarcastically)...and he shouted " wait till you get home and see the news.
Gutted I was but I did see the danger signs. I just didn't expect it to happen as quick as that.
I have to say I loved Keegan first time around, playing under Arthur Cox and then managing under Sir John Hall. It almost felt like success and in truth I would take something even near that feel good time, yet I don't use it as any yardstick as to how we should be competing in today's climate, because football sunk into the depths of hell not long after that, where premier league fans filling stadiums don't even pay the players wages and the clubs bills.
This is why I don't want a blank cheque owner.
Let's be honest....if Man City can't even fill their own stadium with all that money being/been pumped in then it shows how too much success and expectation can dull the senses.
