It’s going from bad to worse for Newcastle United. The seemingly ridiculous notion that the Toon Army could be dragged into a fight for survival has become a coarse reality in some quarters, with the Tynesiders just 3 points above the drop zone.

Their resistent seemed to have paid off until Jermaine Pennant’s freak goal on 42 minutes was quickly followed a minute later by Fernando Torres’ 7th goal in 4 games before Steven Gerrard wrapped it up early on in the second half.
