You're right, Keane's a nasty piece of work. Writing in his autobiography that the career-ending tackle he performed on Haaland was entirely intentional is about as low as a footballer can go, in my opinion.
I see the same, almost rabid ferocity in his manager, all too clearly. Both seem just such nasty people, and they epitomise the rotten spirit shown by 'United' at their worst.
At their best, they're stunning. I love that devil may care, headlong flinging of bodies goalwards; the ball spraying left and right on the deck at a dizzying pace.
Newcastle used to do that, too. They...We will again soon. 5-0 against whomever it was last night is the beginning of the end of every pumped-up, playground prima-donna in the premiership, be they dressed in red, red and white, or blue.
