Three steps to salvation
As tough as it was to take at the time, has the defeat by Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend changed anything for Newcastle United and their chances of remaining in the Premier League?
On one level, of course it has. If Newcastle had taken all three points from their trip to White Hart Lane they would be just one point adrift in the relegation zone. Even if they had only taken a point, with a superior goal difference, they would have been just one win shy of overtaking Blackburn Rovers.
Then again, United's final three home games of the season were always likely to make or break their survival mission.. All defeat by Spurs has done is emphasise that even more sharply in the mind.
