St James' Park set for huge party but Newcastle United must take full advantage

Newcastle's return home come three o'clock on Saturday afternoon is set up for a huge party. Let them cash in on it. Think about it. Think about the mood.

Above all else it is the first anniversary of a takeover that has released NUFC from a life of purgatory. That alone is a reason for celebration. Next Wor Flags are planning something extra special and they have already turned St James Park into the most vibrant ground on match days anywhere in the country.

Then there is the four-goal thumping of Fulham away from home which has really lifted the spirit of fans. And finally Brentford, while a decent side who require respect, are the sort of opposition which can be beaten if you go about the job in the correct way. They are not Manchester City.
