5 teams that were more entertaining than the eventual League Champions

#1 Newcastle '95/96 (Champions - Manchester United)

The most entertaining side ever from Tyneside?

The most entertaining Premier League team to not win the league title has to Kevin Keegan's team from Newcastle United.

It’s over 20 years since one of the Premier League’s most exciting teams faltered after leading by 12 points. Loving called "The Entertainers", King Kev's team played some of the most memorable football in the Premier League era.

Our recollection tells us that Kevin Keegan’s side scored for fun that season, and conceded just as easily. In fact, they found the net just 66 times, one fewer than in the previous campaign, and conceded 37, only two more than eventual champions Manchester United. But why let the truth get in the way of a great story? And what a story it was.

When assessing his time as Newcastle manager, there is one game which simply cannot be ignored: the 5-0 demolition of Manchester United represented a perfect home performance.That all-out approach, coupled with a lack of title-winning experience within the squad, ultimately proved to be their downfall.

Unlike their title rivals Manchester United, who by then were approaching the height of their unpopularity under Alex Ferguson, Newcastle found it increasingly difficult to grind out results on the road. Just one of their eight defeats that season came at St James’ Park.

Despite their shortcomings, which were in plenty, that particular side from Tyneside has left a strong impression on the world of English football and will always be recalled fondly.
