Football FanCast Rob Facey reacts to Kevin Keegan's latest comments and suggests that Newcastle fans might want to keep their voices down when it comes to discussing the so-called Kevolution to avoid embarrassment.

Kevin Keegan last week declared the Premier League boring. However, reflecting on a day that saw the title won and two relegation spots filled, the one thing that was boring and predictable was Newcastle's abject performance at the hands of Everton, as the Toon Army once again contemplate another summer of rebuilding.

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey argues that while Keegan will remain in his job, he must be held to account for his comments denouncing his Newcastle side's chances of breaking into the top four.

Kevin Keegan's bizarre comments this week made interesting reading for the press, but I can't imagine how they went down on those that pay to watch at St James Park every other Saturday. Though accurate - for Newcastle are light years behind the top four - his comments must have been as welcome as a Sunderland shirt on your birthday.

Football FanCast columnist Joe Jennings cannot understand the mentality of Newcastle United fans and feels that the club needs to grab a sense a reality if they are ever to progress.

Why is it that I simply cannot grasp the euphoria that surrounds the media darlings? I'll be blunt, I'm not a big fan of Newcastle United, nor will I ever be. Just when you think the club couldn't possibly become more ridiculous, what do they do, appoint a washed up, incapable coach. If it was a plot on Dream Team, you would switch off the television in disgust.

Football FanCast columnist and Newcastle Utd man Chris Mackin looks back at the easy day at the office on Sunday and wonders whatever happened to great revolution that was supposedly happening down the road.

There was a bloke by me up near the top of the Milburn stand on Sunday who was clearly a Sunderland fan. Edgy and silent throughout, and conspicuously subdued when Owen scored his first, he eventually left when Newcastle got their penalty never to be seen again. Timid and meek, his presence was ill advised and sensibly re-assessed and aborted at half time. He will take little solace in his role yesterday as a walking literacy device, particularly as his otherwise note perfect allegorical performance, his on the money metaphorical channelling of his team's dismal showing, did not extend to the "re-assessed and aborted at half time" bit.

Football FanCast guest columnist Jim Harper is delighted to see that Kevin Keegan has finally silenced his critics and feels the club has started to turn a corner.

When Kevin Keegan took over from Sam Allardyce, the press men had a field day. There were many who hailed it as the return of the prodigal son, others mocked it as the ring leader returning to the circus but what people fail to understand is the connection this one man has with this football club.

Football FanCast columnist Jim McKendry looks ahead to the Tyne & Wear derby and wonder, who will have the bragging rights come 3pm tomorrow afternoon?

It has to be one of the most understated derbies in English football. Two huge teams, passionate supporters and a game of football which atmosphere both in the stands and on the pitch can only be best described as hostile at best. The game is very much blood and thunder from the off and it needs a brave man in the middle to stop the game spilling over. Both teams are desperate to get a win for their adoring public and earn their fans the bragging rights for the whole of the summer months.

Football FanCast columnist Rob Facey reacts to Kevin Keegan's claims that Newcastle have turned the corner and wonders who is needed to be brought in to bring the Toon back among the Premier League elite.

Kevin Keegan has said that it was only a matter of time before his Newcastle United team turned a corner as he looks to continue his impressive streak against rivals Sunderland this weekend.

The 25th of August 1999: my first ever Tyne & Wear derby. With the powerful and impossible to repress sensory imagery of Travis Bickle flicking through his old Vietnam scrapbooks, I can still vividly remember every emotion of that night; sat motionless on my seat in the East Stand Family Enclosure, traumatized and numb, the entire universe thinking it might be a bit of a laugh to cataclysmically implode on itself.
