I was thinking exactly this last night. Feel almost sacreligious, but this team is just objectively better than Keegan's best in all departments. Am I enjoying it as much? No, I'm not because I am a much older jaded man who just doesn't have the carefree joy and exuberance I once had. And this is almost personified by the managers, Keegan was a tidal wave of optimism, whereas Howe is much more guarded, objective, and circunspect. I suspect the latter is a strategy more likely to be maternally successful (materially as in winning stuff).
But I am still massively enjoying it as much as I can about a sport played by overpaid stars kicking a lump of synthetic leather around. I hope the youngsters today appreciate it, I am sure they do.
