'They are lucky the stadium is empty': Graeme Souness insists Newcastle are 'quickly approaching the last chance saloon' as they flirt with Premier League relegation zone... and insists Steve Bruce and Co should be grateful fans can't vent anger in person

Graeme Souness claims Newcastle are lucky that their fans are not in the stadium to witness their slide down the Premier League table towards a relegation fight this season.

Steve Bruce's side have won just two out of their last 18 top-flight matches and are set to face a relegation battle with Fulham, West Brom and Brighton in the final nine matches of the season.

The Magpies host Tottenham on Sunday afternoon knowing that a win will take them five points clear of the drop zone but former Newcastle boss Souness insists Bruce's men are approaching 'last chance saloon' in their relegation dogfight.
