Premier League great Alan Shearer SLAMS Newcastle as Eddie Howe's side head to Australia for post-season friendly against Tottenham: 'Madness'

Newcastle are on their way to Australia for a post-season tour, but club legend Alan Shearer is far from impressed.

The Premier League season concluded on Sunday afternoon, with Newcastle's 4-2 win at Brentford securing a seventh-place finish after a tough campaign for Eddie Howe's side.

The Magpies were ravaged by injuries, with the squad feeling the full effects of a busy fixture list with the club involved in the Champions League campaign this season.

But despite coming through an arduous and exhausting season, the team are trekking Down Under for a friendly against Tottenham at the MCG on Wednesday night, plus a game against the A-League All Stars on Friday.
