Newcastle lead the Premiere League by 12 points in January of 1996 and ended up choking it away and finished 2nd.

Yep, they are on the list.

quote:

Newcastle United FC (England, 1995/96)
Sir Alex Ferguson's suggestion that other Premier League teams tried harder against his Manchester United FC side than they did against leaders Newcastle hastened the decline of Kevin Keegan's Magpies. "I will love it if we beat them – love it," the manager railed in a notorious post-match interview. However, Newcastle's hopes of a first English championship since 1927 were already fading; 12 points clear of United in January, they ended up finishing four points adrift of their rivals in second.


Other notables, Inter in 01/02 and Madrid in 03/04.
