TalkSPORT co-host Gabby Agbonlahor believes Newcastle could blow teams away at St James’ Park ahead of our return to the Champions League.
The former Aston Villa striker “wouldn’t be surprised” if we won every home game in our group, feeling opposition players “will crumble” under the atmosphere; which he feels is the best in the Premier League.
Agbonlahor has often been critical of Newcastle in the past, but feels the noise and intensity will be too much for most European teams to handle ahead of our return to UCL action for the first time in 20 years.
Here’s what he had to say, revealing why the St James’ Park atmosphere could be a game changer in Europe for Eddie Howe:
The group stage draw will be held on Friday, 31st August, with the first fixtures scheduled for the 19th and 20th September.
First up, let’s hope St James’ Park is rocking when Aston Villa come to town on Saturday!
probably true once upon a time …. unfortunately the club is trying to turn it into a footballing tourist hot spot.
Most that get in now just sit there on their phones,just aint the same

Back again Mr Plastic? Boo hoo, I gave my ST up and now I hate everyone else who didn’t. For someone who claimed to have no interest you keep coming back and embarrassing yourself. It’s rocking in SJP – but you wouldn’t know because you’ve found something better to do. So go do it and stop crying like a big baby all the time. You gave up your ticket. Get over it. HOWAY THE LADS.
