6. 498 - Minutes Since Newcastle Last Scored An Away Goal
Newcastle's abysmal away form has already been touched upon and, although the Magpies are leaking goals for fun, they are failing to find the back of the net at the other end too. Away from St James' Park, the Magpies have now gone 498 minutes since they last netted - and that was Papiss Cisse's 42nd-minute header during the 1-1 draw against Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in February. Since then, Newcastle have failed to score at the Etihad Stadium (vs Manchester City), at Goodison Park (vs Everton), at the Stadium of Light (vs Sunderland), at Anfield (vs Liverpool) and at the King Power Stadium (vs Leicester City) - making it 498 minutes in all since their last Premier League away strike. Considering they have let in 14 since that goal (an equaliser against Palace and then 13 in the five matches since), it is clear to see why they are so dreadful away from Tyneside...
