If Newcastle United and the Barclays Premier League were in a relationship on Facebook, their status would read "it's complicated". There have been just as many ups as there have been downs during United's 22-year association with the big time, and even though they were initially a year late to the party, having secured promotion a season after the new league replaced the old Division One, it's fair to say they've made a far larger impression than most. The club has come close to winning the Premier League on a couple of occasions, found themselves cast adrift into No Man's Land more times than Toon supporters care to mention, and of course have succumbed to relegation to the utter joy of the rest of the country. But what would the Premier League be without the constant soap opera that is Newcastle United? We've seen Coronation Street on our screens for the last 50 years, Emmerdale Farm for 43, but more has happened at St James' Park over the last two decades than both of those shows put together. There's little wonder Sky Sports News are one of the preferred media partners at St James' Park as The Magpies sometimes single-handedly hand them content when everyone else is going about their merry business as normal. Some of the happenings at the club have been utterly jaw-dropping down the years, here are a number of statistics that fall into that category... All stats are brought to you by the brilliant My Premier League life on BBC Sport.
