After 16 years in the top flight of English football, Newcastle United just could not muster enough to avoid relegation. For a side that merely needed a draw to stay afloat, the Magpies played most of the match with an indifferent attitude. There was just no real drive or passion on display at Villa Park, which was really surprising for a team fighting for survival. Let's just say that Newcastle was so poor, Brad Friedel could've gone for a beer and Villa would have still emerged victorious.
And the fact that they went down thanks to a Damien Duff own goal pretty much sums up the Newcastle story this season. Championship football always seemed inevitable. All the same, it is a weird feeling just knowing that the Magpies won't be in the Premier League next season.
Nonetheless, there's still several questions hanging over Newcastle's future. Will Alan Shearer stick with the Magpies? What about Michael Owen? Will he remain a Newcastle player? Will there be an exodus at St James Park?
They deserve the relegation dude, they have been playing stupid football all this while and i think Mike Ashley should just sell the club to someone who is capable of handling the club well.Good Luck for them to come back if they can at least survive the Coco Cola Championship.
