From nufc.com:
"Saturday's loss to Swansea City meant that Newcastle have been beaten in each of their last seven league outings - a feat not managed since in October 1977, when no less than ten successive games were lost.
Within that 1977 sequence however were three cup ties - one of which was won and the other drawn - meaning we actually only lost five in a row in all competitions then.
You know where this is going, don't you...
Defeat to Garry Monk's team meant that this current side is the first in our history to lose seven consecutive games in all competitions, surpassing a run of six reverses that was set during the 1936/37 season and equaled in both the 1963/64 and 1971/72 campaigns."
