Newcastle and Boro join West Brom in relegation

Newcastle United down and out

No real surprise that Boro went down, after losing 2-1 at Upton Park to West Ham. No after match interview for Gareth Southgate, relegation just hurts so much that different professionals handle it in different ways.

However, after an emotional 8 matches, local hero Alan Shearer watched his beloved Newcastle United get relegated after being in the top division for 16 years. It was a terribly unfortunate exit in one way, as their 1-0 loss to Aston Villa was down to a freakish own goal by Damien Duff. Were they bad enough to go down? Yes, but then so were Sunderland and Hull City in my opinion as both teams lost today and knew they needed to get some points today to salvage Premier League safety.

But its all done now. The question is : Should Alan Shearer now stay at Newcastle United in the Championship with Mike Ashley as his boss?
