Remembering….when Newcastle were good

It has been easy to laugh at Newcastle United in recent months, not that it makes it right of course. From Kevin Keegan's typically sudden departure, the frankly ridiculous resurrection of Joe Kinnear's top flight career, to the second coming of Alan Shearer, via Mike Ashley downing pints in a replica shirt, Dennis Wise somehow qualifying to be a Football Director, Chris Hughton taking charge of the team on an almost fortnightly basis, and finally, horror upon horror, relegation from the Premier League after a sixteen year stay at English football's top table.
