194 - Premier League Goals Conceded By NUFC Since The Start Of The 2012-13 Campaign, The Most In The Division
True there have been teams who have been promoted to and relegated from the Premier League in that time but, of all the sides to have played 116 games since the beginning of the 2012-13 campaign, Newcastle have conceded the most goals with 194. In 2012-13 they shipped 68, in 2013-14 the Magpies conceded 59, and last season saw the Toon let in 63 goals. Add to that the four that have already been scored past Tim Krul in the opening two games of the 2015-16 campaign, and Newcastle have conceded 194 goals in 116 games.

And Newcastle's cumulative goal difference in those three-and-a-bit seasons? -64...
