Seriously chapaz our players have played in the argentinian leagues, in the camp nou, the bernabeu, in world cup finals, fa cup finals, champions league finals, do you genuinely think st james is that intimidating an atmosphere that it will make them crumble?
Your home record:
17 wins
1 draw
0 losses
Your away record:
9 wins
4 draw
5 losses
That says it all. Players can have all the experience in the world, but if you're in an incased area (i.e. a stadium) with a team and 50,000+ grown people against you, it makes a big difference, as records clearly show in 99% of teams.
You've hit problems on the road a number of times during the season, but St James Park is one of the largest stadiums in England with some of the most loudest and passionate fans. If we really get going and get behind the team it's going to be just as much of a mental challenge for your side as it will be a physical challenge.
