As in Newcastle United from the top four of the Premier League. Seems fairly obvious to me: with only one game left, we're as close to Liverpool in fourth as we are to Derby County, the worst team in the history of the whole entire league.
Which is probably why I'm taking reports that a "furious" Mike Ashley's called the Turnaround Kid to a showdown meeting in Tombstone with a dollop of salt the size of a Tesco Value pizza (only half your daily guideline amount in each square inch). Let's face it, the papers have been busting for another Keegan Out angle ever since we stopped letting opposing teams score every time they got the ball within fifty yards of goal. On the subject of which, if the players really are "unimpressed by the implied slight on their abilities," I can think of fifty-odd thousand people who'd be more than happy to spell out their opinion a little more forcefully.
For half the team, the word ability itself is stretching things.
