Newcastle United
​

2. On the joint longest current winless streak in the highest division of 10 games. Drawn four and lost six (four points out of 30) in the Premier League, since beating West Brom 2-3 at the Hawthorns on 7 February 2009; their only maximum in 17 since Christmas.

3. The draw specialists of the Premier League.

4. The current tally of 31 points after 35 matches is 11 points down on last season and their lowest ever return in a Premier League season.

5. Not scored in three top-flight games or 279 minutes (four hours 39 minutes) of Premier League football, since Andrew Carroll equalised in the 1-1 draw, away to Stoke on 11 April.

6. Scored one goal in five league outings, and not managed more than a single goal in a game in 10 attempts since the 2-3 victory at West Brom.

7. Won four home league games all season, which equals their total of managers in this campaign.

8. No win in eight Premier League matches at St James'; drawn four and lost four since defeating Tottenham 2-1 on 21 December.

9. Drawn six of the last eight Premier League North-East derbies.

10. A home game against Fulham and an away trip to Aston Villa remain after this.

Middlesborough
​

1. The current total of 31 points after 35 games is their lowest ever return to this stage of a Premier League campaign, and five points down on last season. They have not finished lower than 14th, since their return to the Premier League in 1998. Their average finish from 13 seasons in this league was 13th.

6. Own the weakest attack in the highest league.

7. The 2-0 loss to Arsenal at the Emirates on their most recent away game on 26 April, was their 10th consecutive away league loss and equalled the longest losing league run away from home in the club's 133-year history, which was set between 31 December 1910 and 2 September 1911.

8. Last avoided an away defeat on 16 November 2008; 1-1 with Everton at Goodison Park. The most recent of their two away league victories was the previous match; 1-2, against Aston Villa on 9 November.

Not a laughing matter, but there again you do have 3 sixes after your name...

And hey if they go down they go down..Its only a game after all....

..Its only a game after all....

No one ever says "it's only a game" when they're winning.

Looks like the team that loses tonight will be down. If it's a draw they could both go down.

 

[fazda666]

Its 1 - 1 already, cracker of a game!

[fazda666]

[fazda666]

Howay the lads..Gan on..

 

[fazda666]

All over, 3 - 1 newcastle only 5 mins left. I think my prediction of west brom, middleborough, and hull could be right.

 

[fazda666]

Thats it newcastle win by 3 - 1, meanin they come out of the trap door for the time being.

 

[Ian]

Woohoo The pub really took off when we scored that 3rd goal

We could do with another win though (against Fulham), as I think Hull will do something surprising for their last game, as ManU will already have won the league.

 

[fazda666]

Well i hope man u do win the league by then, but i think we just got a bit too much for hull. My bet is on newcastle to stay up.
