Why does last night's FA EPL Asia Cup result not surprise me? Over the years, Newcastle has got a reputation of being a very good football team, but when it comes down to the final hurdle, when they are on the verge of actually winning some silverware, they have made it a habit of choking and tumbling out. * shakes head, ruefully *
It happened a couple of years ago when they were leading the EPL by double digits going into the final straight. Keegan lost his cool when taunted by Sir Alex, and the championship was lost. It happened the season after that again. Over the last few years, Newcastle under Sir Bobby have come close to winning something, but, again, no cigar.
And, last night, losing the Chelsea on penalties with Alan Shearer, of all people, missing his spot kick by slamming it against the cross bar. If he had scored, they would have won.
Man, this sucks lah.
