Fact is stranger than fiction. It's a lesson Newcastle fans learn as soon as they are old enough to wear a black and white baby grow.

But who would have believed we'd be six points ahead of Man United and top of the league as Christmas approached?

To reach the summit with a 3-1 away win at Highbury was the stuff of pure fantasy so what on earth could we dare hope for as New Year draws near and the second half of the season begins? 

A trophy for young Mr Robson would just be too good to be true wouldn't it? Dare we even contemplate another FA Cup run, given that we've already had a few in recent years?

Bobby and the boys have rubbished any talk of titles and it's an interesting philosophy for a manager who has won his fair share of championships.

It's in stark contrast to another ex- England manager who aimed for the stars but ended up on an ordinary Blue Moon.
