Beaten by Sheffield United tonight, giving the Blades their first win this season and the only three points that Derby gained in their record breaking season was also against the Geordies. Very charitable!

Interesting stats^^^
The ref must've been on a Sheffield United win.
He sent off Newcastle's Fraser in the first half for 2 bookables (deserved in fairness) but let Billy Sharp off with just a booking for a bad late challenge. Newcastle were rightly IMO furious.
Sheffield United looked decent and were well worth their win.
I bet Newcastle fans are up in arms this morning. I always chuckle at Spurs fans' claims that they have some sort of right to be winning the First Division/Premier League title when we're now very close to the sixtieth anniversary of when it last happened, but at least they've won cups, including in Europe, and reached a Champions League final since then - the only thing Newcastle have won in more than half a century is promotion and yet they have this expectation that they will attract the best players and managers which leads to a situation whereby a perfectly decent manager like Steve Bruce was considered not good enough for them from the moment he walked through the door.
