Newcastle United have a secret weapon in their pursuit of Champions League football that is no doubt making rival Premier League clubs very jealous. Being able to boast a 52,000+ strong crowd for four of their remaining seven top flight fixtures means the Magpies' European destiny is firmly in their own hands.
Tottenham fans witnessed first-hand just how intimidating a raucous St James' Park can be as they were blown away inside 21 astonishing minutes on Sunday afternoon. Alternatively, Spurs' last home game saw the club's fans openly boo one of their own players as he was hauled off in the second-half.
Newcastle's cauldron of noise has significantly aided Eddie Howe's side on multiple occasions in recent seasons, with demand for tickets at an all-time high. Sunday was another reminder of how St James' can really act as the cliched 12th man at times.
