I think most fans would settle for a point now, shake hands, and head back to Tyneside relatively happy. But what if we can sneak the win?
Not only would it be a fantastic boost after after a torrid week where the ‘old-style’ headlines started to rear their ugly heads again, but it would also signal the 250th win in the Premier League for Newcastle.
That’s right, a milestone awaits for whenever we can record our next victory, and we would be only the seventh club in the history of the Premier League to achieve such a feat, although admittedly a lot of those wins will have come in a couple of purple patches under Kevin Keegan and Sir Bobby Robson.
So, how did we rack up those wins then?
1993/1994 – 23 wins – Finished 3rd.
1994/1995 – 20 wins – Finished 6th.
1995/1996 – 24 wins – Finished 2nd.
1996/1997 – 19 wins – Finished 2nd.
1997/1998 – 11 wins – Finished 13th.
1998/1999 – 11 wins – Finished 13th.
1999/2000 – 14 wins – Finished 11th.
2000/2001 – 14 wins – Finished 11th.
2001/2002 – 21 wins – Finished 4th.
2002/2003 – 21 wins – Finished 3rd.
2003/2004 – 13 wins – Finished 5th.
2004/2005 – 10 wins – Finished 14th.
2005/2006 – 17 wins – Finished 7th.
2006/2007 – 11 wins – Finished 13th.
2007/2008 – 11 wins – Finished 12th.
2008/2009 – 7 wins – Finished 18th.
2009/2010 – Don’t even ask!
2010/2011 – 2 wins – Finished ???
So there you go, another little useless fact brought to you by Toonsy! I make our average Premier League finishing position about ninth place in the process of all that aswell.
Ah well, memories……
just read on ed’s blog that Enrique is rumoured to have a cruciate injury ffs :(
