Bolton boss Megson braces for Newcastle trip

Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson is unsure of what to expect at Newcastle United tomorrow.

Wanderers will be Kevin Keegan's first opponents as the prodigal son begins his second spell in charge of the Toon.

Megson is anticipating a carnival atmosphere at St James' Park but said: "We can't avoid it, we're going to be part of it. We just have to accept we're the pantomime horse to the main cast.

"I've been up against new managers before but this is something different - it's like the second coming of the Messiah.

"It will be a carnival atmosphere up there. I'm not sure if some of the Geordies will even know who they are playing against!

"It was going to be a tough game but the fact Kevin is there and what he means to the people up there makes it that much more difficult.

"We've only got a bit-part but we'll look to go up there and spoil the party if we can."
