Alex Ferguson; “Sadly, results have not matched their loyalty. If Newcastle’s achievements had matched the support of the people who pay to watch them play, the club would be among the game’s giants. It’s tragic that they haven’t been able to win a league title for over eighty years”.

In the modern day history that is the Premier League, no team had scored three goals in consecutive league matches and lost them both.
