Therefore to go round the Grand National course of the Premier League once again after soaring from base to the Champions League via a Wembley cup final was going to have its pitfalls. Let us, however, for now pay tribute to United’s seventh-place finish, reaching the quarter-finals of both domestic cups, and taking part in the Champions League, culminating in the swirling excitement of Paris Saint-Germain 4-1. However, being a club built upon the legendary No 9 shirt, let me pay homage to those who brought goals to Newcastle. United lost on a shocking 11 occasions away from home, which very few others did, and that is inviting big trouble. While an automatic inquest goes on, United must also look into their persistent injury problems.
