Even before riches from Saudi Arabia flooded in, there was surely a sense that a club the size of Newcastle should have won more than a glance at their trophy cabinet reveals? This, after all, the stage for Kevin Keegan's much- quoted and indeed sampled “love it'' tirade against Manchester United. No doubt an attempt to motivate his troops during the long slog of a race between the two sides for the 1995/6 Premier League title but which has gone down as a bit of a cliché, not exactly helped by the fact that their then gaffer and those roaring them on from the stands never got their wish.
