King Kev could turn a disastrous season around

Not so long ago, a punt on Newcastle to be relegated was good value, but now the most interesting punt being offered is for the Toon to finish in the top half (currently at 14/1).

Newcastle are currently nine points away from tenth place, and have a tricky run in including matches with Chelsea and Everton. It is also worth noting that in five attempts, Kevin Keegan has never managed to finish the last six games of a season unbeaten.

So is a top half finish a real target, or naive optimism? Votes and comments below, please.
