Craig 6700 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 NEWCASTLE UNITED may well have spent the season out of the limelight of the Premier League. However, despite trips to Scunthorpe, Barnsley, Doncaster and Bristol City, the Mags have not lost too much ground in the Premier League record books. And the all-time Premier League table still has United listed as a top- eight outfit. Only Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Spurs and Everton are ahead of them in the pecking order. United, of course, missed the first ever season of Premier League action back in 1992/93 but didn’t take long to make up for lost time. And in 616 games they have racked up an impressive 906 points. Interestingly, that figure is a whopping 558 more than rivals Sunderland, who are down in 21st place.

Guest Barrack Road Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 (edited) eightth biggest /leazes Eighth? Eighth in history, fourth in fanbase, second in local fanbase [/stevie] In major trophies since 1970 we're not in the top 50 that's all that counts. When the day comes and we win something, I think it will be more celebrated on Tyneside than VE day in 1945. Can you imagine what it'll be like, I'm not the only one that fantasises about it. People like The Fish cracking a smile, Rob W looking like he's enjoying himself, people standing on car roofs. Keep the faith.
