September - February 10th
So I can get to next season quicker I'll be doing this much more boring and less interesting season overview.
We weren't able to do the job away from home for the most part. A 1 - 0 away loss at Palace showed this, Followed by a 2 - 1 dramafest against united, with a final minute goal from Ayoze Perez. A 5 - 2 horror show at Stamford Bridge. A 5 - 0 away victory at Bloomfield put us into the next round of the Capital One Cup against Liverpool.
On to october,A loss at White Hart Lane, followed by a 2 - 0 win against West Brom and a two goal come back against Liverpool to win 3 - 2 and put us into the quarter finals of the Capital One Cup.
We go on to lose to 10 men West Ham... 3 - 1... When we will actually get a point against a 10 men team I don't know. We claim our first league away win of the season, a 5 - 0 destruction of Leicester City.
We drop points for the first time at home against Stoke, a game we dominated yet couldn't win. Next was Burnley, after bringing it from 3 - 0 to 3 - 2 I thought we could win it, and I was completely wrong.
Into December, where we drop points at home again, this time against Southampton, very lucky to get away with that one. Away at the Etihad we went 2 - 0 quick, but Carlos Fierros first goal and a Wijnaldum solo goal made it 2 - 2. QPR at home was disappointing, it was so boring despite Ayoze Perez scoring in the first 10 minutes. Into the semi-finals of the league cup after a late goal from Wijnaldum secured it, and we claim revenge at Turf Moor. A loss at Villa Park is disappointing, another time we were dominated, yet scored. We made a great return to form, getting our first important away win at Goodison.
And then we complete the league double over Sunderland in the Wear & Tyne Derby to kick January off. We flop before Liverpool in the FA Cup, after fighting to 3 - 4 after being 0 - 4 down. First home loss of the season. The team we face in the League Cup Semis', we face in the league, with a 1 - 0 revenge victory after our shocking loss to ten men Hull in August. Nathan Dyer slots home an own goal to insure we don't lose away at relegation candidates Swansea. A draw in the first leg is enough to see us through to the league cup final, Rolando Aarons returns from his loan at Doncaster, and slots away a 90th minute winner at St. James, to give us a ticket to Wembley. We get dominated by a Rooney brace and a Di Maria header at Old Trafford. We Bring in Matt Ritchie on deadline day to Replace Sissokho who was sold to Tottenham for 13m, which could rise to 22m.
We get a win over Pardew at St. James to start February, before Chelsea complete the league double over us. Matt Ritchie scores a brace in the last 10 minutes at Anfield to give us a point.
At this point Newcastle hover around 7th place.
