Newcastle United Fans Weep As Aston Villa Are Thrashed (In Photos)

NEWCASTLE United thrash Aston Villa 6-0 win in the Premier League and the fans hang their heads in misery. An opening day defeat to Manchester United was expected and good. The fans need these games to be lost – it keeps to them from removing their tops and seeing Newcastle as Barcelona-on-Tyne. But now fans are once more cursed with the kind of unrealistic levels of expectation that bedevilled the club for years. Says one fan:

“One more big win and they’ll be serving frothy coffee at half time again…with brown sugar!”
