The black and white stripped club looks to be at the end of an era after a 0-0 draw to Portsmouth on Monday. Michael Owen had the best chance for Newcastle, but Portsmouth keeper David James denied the England striker’s penalty with his legs.

The Magpies were desperate to take all three points in this clash, but the draw leaves them down in the bottom three.

Newcastle now has just four games left in which to save themselves from relegation, with tough matches against Liverpool and Chelsea amongst them.

The Northern England side has had Premier League status since 1993, with the club managing to finish in the the top six from 2001 until the end of the 2004 season.

Newcastle is currently in eighteenth place on the Premier League table with 31 points, while Hull City is seventeenth with 34.

It will come down to the wire this season for relegation. But it would be sad to see the Northern England club go.
