KEEGANOMETER TWITCHING

From The Guardian:

‘It says much about the humour bypass afflicting top-flight football these days that Kevin Keegan contacted Stuart Hall, Radio Five's much loved and unashamedly dotty commentator, to take issue with his habit of referring to Maine Road as "the Theatre of Comedy".

If there is one thing Keegan craves to bring to Manchester City it is respectability, though it is hard to think of a more apt description for their old stadium after the fluctuating emotions of the past two games.

Beating Manchester United one week, then being booed off against Charlton the next is typical of the perverse spirit that has enveloped City for longer than their fans will care to recall. Keegan's predecessor Joe Royle used to call it "Cityitis."

The only antidote, according to Keegan, is for City's hierarchy to finance the sort of spending spree that has gone out of fashion elsewhere. "I want to know how much I will have when the transfer window opens and whether my board of directors match my ambitions," he said.

This should alarm City fans more than the lackadaisical efforts of their players. For, as seasoned Keegan-watchers could testify, there is the distant rumble of a row brewing.’

The final word from the Messiah himself:

"On that evidence, Charlton look more like a side who will stay in the Premiership than us."

Still the fans will be happy Kev.

City are 7-1 to go down and United are 7-1 for the title Where would you rather throw your money?
