Sheffield United fan is seen reading a BOOK as the Blades are hammered 8-0 at home to Newcastle United... but supporters praise her and say 'at least she stayed until the final whistle'

A Sheffield United fan found betting things to do whilst watching the Blades' 8-0 thrashing by Newcastle, after being spotted by TV cameras reading a book.

The Magpies put in a record-breaking performance at Bramall Lane, becoming the first Premier League side to have eight different goal-scorers in one game, but it was a tough watch for the Sheffield United fans.

Most supporters headed for the exits by the time the seventh goal had gone in, but one fan decided to stay to the end and get stuck into something much more riveting than the football on display in front of her.
