12 Greatest Ever Newcastle United Rants, Outbursts And Melt-Downs
8. Roy Keane Really Doesn't Like Newcastle
Roy Keane is the mouth that just keeps on giving. In the last month, he has managed to lay into the likes of Jose Mourinho, Paul Scholes and Roberto Martinez - and that's ignoring the score-settling autobiography that was brought out in October. Considering he spent two and a half seasons managing bitter north-east rivals Sunderland, as well as having been involved in skirmishes with Alan Shearer during his time as a volatile Manchester United captain, it's no surprise that relations between the Irishman and the Geordies aren't at an all-time high.
''I always had a bit of hassle against Newcastle. I'd been sent off twice up there. I'd had my battles with Shearer and Rob Lee. I always thought they were an arrogant bunch for a club that had won f*** all. We always got decent results at St. James' Park; it wasn't a bad place to play. But as for the Toon Army, the Geordies and the hostile reception - I never fell for all that crap.'' - Roy Keane, October 2014.
