I've just been thinking about this, after being told by an Arsenal supporting friend of mine that Newcastle are one of the luckiest teams in the league.

Are we?

How many goals have we been gifted on a plate?

Off the top of my head, I can only think of the opener against Everton away. How many have we had chalked off, many unfairly?

I know I'm biased, but I'd have to say we are not the jammiest team around, by quite a stretch.

Boro goalie off while giving away pen, Given stays on for giving away pen

Bolton goalie off when they don't have sub goalie (silly Bolton)

We were the last side to beat Arsneal in the league so we must be lucky !

I can think of at least 3 goals we've had chalked off and I'm sure there are more.
