You know this appalling Newcastle United away record… | OneFootball

I keep hearing a lot of comments about the shocking Newcastle United away record.

How Eddie Howe’s side will have to do far better on their travels if they have any hopes of success this season.

Both media and plenty of Newcastle United fans talking about how terrible it was last season.

So has the Newcastle United away record really been that shocking in recent times?

Or like a lot of things, does the reality (the FACTS) tell you something different?

Have a look at the most recent 16 Newcastle United away matches across these past eight and a half months.

The Newcastle United away record since New Year’s day 2024:

Sunderland 0 Newcastle 3

Fulham 0 Newcastle 2

Aston Villa 1 Newcastle 3

Forest 2 Newcastle 3

Arsenal 4 Newcastle 1

Blackburn 1 Newcastle 1 (NUFC won on penalties)

Chelsea 3 Newcastle 2

Man City 2 Newcastle 0

Fulham 0 Newcastle 1

Palace 2 Newcastle 0

Burnley 1 Newcastle 4

Man U 3 Newcastle 2

Brentford 2 Newcastle 4

Bournemouth 1 Newcastle 1

Nottingham Forest 1 Newcastle 1 (NUFC win 4-3 on penalties)

Wolves 1 Newcastle 2

That Newcastle United away record reads:

Played 16 Won 10 Drawn 1 Lost 5

As you can see, we aren’t talking about a few games, this is an excellent Newcastle United away record lasting more than two thirds of a year.

To win 10 of the last 16 away matches is outstanding, with Sunday’s at Wolves the very latest.

Also very encouraging to see that Newcastle managed 30 goals in these most recent 16 away matches, averaging almost two goals per game.

If United come through these next two away matches unbeaten, at Fulham and AFC Wimbledon, it would be a massive positive and mean Newcastle United unbeaten in their last eight matches home and away matches, indeed unbeaten in their last six away from home.

Eddie Howe’s side won twice last season at Craven Cottage, in the Premier League and FA Cup, a repeat of that plus progress in the cup at Wimbledon would really set things up ahead of Man City at home, have a real go at them at St James’ Park.
