Off of Private Eye...

"The expression on [Kevin] Keegan's face is jolting. It is in the eyes, a sadness that no amount of fist-clenching and arm-waving can disguise.

The sadness has been there since Newcastle lost a 12-point lead and a Premiership title. Up till then there had been an aura about Keegan, a sense that come what may, the force of his will would transcend everything. His team lost a championship and he lost more. Art Garfunkel wrote about this in his song, Bright Eyes:

Bright eyes,
Burning like fire,
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?

But football is a street where every second building is a last chance saloon...
