Allardyce
Fulham 0 - Newcastle 1
Newcastle 2 - Derby 2
Wigan 1 - Newcastle 0
Chelsea 2 - Newcastle 0
Newcastle 0 - Man City 2
Stoke 0 - Newcastle 0
Overall - P6 W1 D2 L3 F3 A7 GD-4
Keegan
Newcastle 0 - Bolton 0
Arsenal 3 - Newcastle 0
Arsenal 3 - Newcastle 0
Newcastle 1 - Middlesbrough 1
Aston Villa 4 - Newcastle 1
Newcastle 1 - Man Utd 5
Overall - P6 W0 D2 L4 F3 A16 GD-13
