The Return of the King

Well, that was unexpected. For all of us who thought that Kev was happy running his soccer school in Braehead and enjoying a complete absence of pressure, his return to the cauldron of expectation that is St. James' Park is something of a surprise (Caution: This sentence may contain understatement).

I know you should never go back, and previous performance under pressure is a bit of a worry, but in the short term the gloom has been lifted, and the touchpaper of expectation of the Toon Army has been lit.

Reality might bite soon, with the looming relegation battle piling the pressure on, but for now, let's just worry about Stoke.

Later: Well, 5 goals, red card, great entertainment...Normal service has been resumed

Saturday 19th: Dire 0-0 with Bolton, no class, inventiveness or spark. Current service has been resumed...
