Sheffield United are relegated, and the league table would have you believe it was they who’d suffered the points deduction.
Not even the financial mismanagement of their rivals could save them after this sorry season. Only three teams in Premier League history have finished with less than the 16 points they have, and with three games to go you cannot see them adding to their tally.
Not after a game in which they emerged for the first half with a fighting spirit, only to come out after half-time with a white flag.
The score was 1-1 after 45 minutes and that was flattering for Newcastle. The Toon Army looked like a bunch of plodders in the first half. They quickened that to a march in the second, aided by the baffling surrender of Chris Wilder’s Blades, who had been so dangerous to that point.
The overriding emotion for Eddie Howe would have been relief - they should have trailed by at least two at the interval - but perhaps for Wilder there will be a sense of comfort, too. Relief that the inevitable, as he called it on Friday, is finally confirmed.
