1906/07 saw United bounce back in style to reclaim the Championship largely as a result of their brilliant form at St James' where they recorded 18 wins from 19 games (drawing the last game). It is the only season when United have remained unbeaten at home in the top League.
The draw with Sheffield United actually ended a record run of 20 consecutive home victories.
United suffered their first FA Cup giant killing when struggling Southern League club Crystal Palace deservedly won 2-1 at SJP, thus becoming the only side to win on Tyneside that season.
Once again the Tyne-Wear derby broke the attendance record as 56,375 turned up to see the opening match of the season. The average attendance increased by 35% to just over 33,000. A total that would not be bettered until after the War.

United regained the Championship as a result of their imperious home form in which they won every game except the final one, which they drew. Away from Tyneslde, they often disappointed and won only 3 games.
All three of those victories came in the first half of the season and at the end of December United were in 2nd. Significantly they had played four more away games than home games.
Therefore, although they did not win any more away games they took over at the top of the League after thrashing Manchester United 5-0 at the beginning of February. They retained top spot through to the end of the season.
