Even by the standards of the inconsistent Newcastle United football club, the 2014 2015 season has been a head-scratcher. In the past 36 weeks of competitive play, the Magpies have seen perhaps a wider spread of performance quality than any other team in England this year. From dead last, to top five, and back again, Newcastle have had arguably the most tumultuous season of their 122-and-a-half-year history. Now, though, there is only one goal left on the docket: win the Newcastle United relegation battle!
The Magpies have two weeks left in 2014 2015 English Premier League competition, and while they can't turn things around completely in that time, they still have a chance to save themselves from the red zone. You can help them do it to, by stopping by Soccer Box today to pick up a new zebra-striped home jersey, or a grey and blue Newcastle United away jersey 2014 2015. Both versions of the soccer shirt are still available in adult and kids sizes alike, and both shirts are on sale in honor of the season's conclusion. The home jersey is selling for 25% off its original price, while the away jersey is 20% off.
The 2014 2015 Premier League
Regardless of which version of the Newcastle United football shirt you choose, now is definitely the time to make your purchase: the Magpies needs all of the support they can get as they head into the final weeks of the 2014 2015 campaign. That campaign has seen both soaring highs and crushing lows for the NUFC squad-making for a true emotional rollercoaster for the club's fans.
Things started off rough for the Magpies in this year's Premier League. After an 0-2 loss against Manchester City in the first week of competition-and in a home game, no less-Newcastle entered the season in 20th place on the league standings table. It was the worst possible way that the year could have started for the team. Was that the beginning of a season long relegation battle for the Magpies?
Fate didn't treat the soccer squad much better for the two months that followed. In the first seven weeks of the 2014 2015 run, the wearers of the Newcastle United away jersey 2014 2015 failed to win a single game. They picked up four draws and got out of last place, but losses against Southampton (in a 0-4 September 13th away fixture) and the normally middling Stoke City (0-1, on September 29th) made it look like the Magpies were destined for relegation.
The Hot Streak
Then, suddenly, things looked up. On October 18th, the Magpies donned the Newcastle United home shirt for a game against Leicester City, and came away with their first win of the season. It was just a modest 1-0 victory, but it was enough to give the football club their confidence back.
That win against Leicester launched Newcastle into a five-game winning streak, bringing victories against Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, West Bromwich Albion, and Queens Park Rangers. Just like that, it was November 22nd and United were in fifth place on the 2014 2015 EPL table. It was hard to believe that they were even the same team they had been 12 weeks earlier.
Just as fast as the mojo came, though, it evaporated back into thin air. Since that November 22nd victory against Queens Park Rangers, the Magpies have only won four Premier League matches total. Sure, one of those victories gave Newcastle United bragging rights in arguably the biggest upset of the year. On December 6th, the Magpies put an end to Chelsea FC's undefeated streak in the 2014 2015 EPL, beating the Blues 2-1.
Unfortunately, the rest of Newcastle's season has been spotty at best, and abysmal at worst. As the Magpies prepare to don the Newcastle United away jersey 2014 2015 for their penultimate soccer match of the year-an away game at QPR-they do so with a two-and-a-half month losing streak weighing them down.
That's right: United haven't won a single EPL match since a February 28th takedown of Aston Villa. Worse, last weekend's 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion was the only one of the nine games they've played since that they haven't lost outright. The battle to avoid Premier League relegation is well and truly on!
Can the wearers of the Newcastle United football shirt avoid relegation? Remarkably, they are still outside of the red zone-in 17th place, with 36 standings points. Hull City is right behind with 34 points, though, so Newcastle will need to turn in a pair of better-than-average performances over the next two weekends (against QPR and West Ham, respectively) to reserve a spot in the 2015 2016 Premier League.
Help them do just that by picking up a brand new Newcastle United football shirt from Soccer Box! Remember, both the home shirt and the away jersey are both selling at discounted rates right now.
