Newcastle United is a club rich in history but strangely enough, never tasted any major glory in over 40 years. They have one of the largest fan base in the UK and 52,000 loyal Toon Army turn up for their premier league home game consistenly despite not having won any championship in 82 years, FA Cup for 54 years, and never won the league cup.
This weekend, may be their last 90 minutes in top flite football. A big football club with misfiring expensive flops but one big saving grace - Alan Shearer. In all honesty - Newcastle dished out a performance worthy of being relegated - and no surprise if you remembered - they were 12th last season. They collected only 5 points from their last 6 games ( 7 points from last 6 home games and 7 points from last 6 away games) - hardly the kind of form to face Villa with 13 points from the last 6 games. Some how, there's a strange feeling of excitement knowing that there's a possibility of them going down. Its going to be like watching Titanic sink all over again. I guess there's no club too big to be relegated.
I salute Alan Shearer - inheriting Newcastle at a time like this, and maybe, just maybe, a hero like him could steer them into safety.
