10 Things That Have Happened Since NUFC Last Picked Up A Point

4. The Six-Week General Election Campaign Has Come And Gone

The six-week UK General Election campaign started at the end of March, a full month after Newcastle beat Aston Villa, and commences on Thursday May 7th. Since Parliament was dissolved and during the entire duration of the General Election campaign, when David Cameron's Conservatives and Ed Miliband's Labour Party have gone toe-to-toe in an attempt to win an unlikely outright majority, the Magpies have failed to add a single point to their tally of 35. In fact, if Newcastle fail to get at least a draw out of the West Bromwich Albion or Queens Park Rangers matches, then two election campaigns could have been run in their entirety during that timeframe.
