Keano to blame for demolition derby

I SPENT most of last week listen-ing to an assortment of Sunder-land players tell the press how much the game meant to them. I even watched Roy Keane stress that the players knew exactly what was at stake. But at Newcastle on Sunday afternoon, I felt cheated.

Despite watching us concede seven goals at Everton, take a beating in the Carling Cup at Luton and struggle to get a shot on goal at Derby, our pitiful showing against Newcastle is the lowest I’ve felt all season.

All around me were supporters humiliated at us saving our worst performance of the year for our biggest tie.
