Newcastle United's players have had a relatively quiet season on the field during the 2014/15 campaign. As a team, a shocking start to the season was followed by a fantastic winning run, the end of Chelsea's unbeaten streak in the Premier League, an earth shattering derby defeat and an implosion of the most epic proportions at the Etihad. They currently find themselves in Premier League no man's land. AGAIN. Individually, things have also been pretty boring. Which brings about somewhat of a welcome change. Over the years, Newcastle United has become a byword for controversy, soap opera and a downright farce. All of those words apply in abundance to happenings off the pitch, but things are plodding along pretty underwhelmingly under the less than qualified eye of 'Geordie' John Carver. After a lot of hot air off the pitch and even more cold air on it in recent months, bewildered fans would have felt more at home when one of their biggest stars made the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Papiss Cisse and 'spitgate'. That's all we'll say for now.
