Hey Brewer

Newcastle United lost, again, today at Anfield to Liverpool 3-0. Panic has officially, and rightly, set in on Tyneside as the prospect of the Magpies spending the 2008-2009 in the Coca Cola Championship is becoming more and more a reality. Newcastle’s last win was in Dec. on a relatively fortunate penalty kick that was awarded in extra time. Since then Newcastle have not won in 12 league matches. Newcastle could find themselves with virtually no breathing room between themselves and the drop based on tomorrows action. Here are the ugly standings for Toon fans. The club has in that past 18 months had 2 owners, 3 managers, scores of failed players, porous defense, and an inability to score goals. Other than that things are going well. Kevin Keegan’s return has failed to inspire the players and the magic he once brought to save the team seems to have eluded him for this go around. As each week passes and this abortive season comes to an end it looks like a minor miracle will be needed to keep Newcastle from visiting the likes of Barnsley, Hull and Burnley. Sad times for the Toon faithful.
