    I don't mind lobbing in £100 if it means we'll score 4 against Leicester.

    A better measure that relates to position in the final places in the league would have been cost per point.

    I think the point of the above comparison was in entertainment value, but it would most likely be very similar regarding points won, because teams that score a lot of home goals tend to win matches.

    I like these stats, as it shows just how little value for money supporting Newcastle United really is.
