Park here are the thoughts of Newcastle Legend and Match Of The Day analyst alan shearer who played the last time the magpies payed in the Champins League against barcelona back in 2003. Iam i am excited and i cant wait for tonight, like everyone else in newcastle, the stadium will be rocking tonight. These were the nights at stjamess park we were thinking of, 20 years, such a long time and the fans have had some real ups and downs over the years. Bear in mind two years ago we were still thinking is the takeover going to happen . To be this far ahead already and having nights like this already is an incredible achievement and that tells you how well eddie and the players have done. I have been lucky enough to travel all over and i have never seen anywhere like newcastle than in terms of the mums or dad and the nanas boyfriends or girlfriends with the newcastle tops on. Stjamess park on girlfriends with the newcastle tops on. St jamess park on saturday whether newcastle win or not, it means so much to us. To have been relegated and have some of the things that have happened to the Football Club over the years has not been nice but the one thing that has been nice but the one thing that has been constant is the fans and that will never ever change. They love their Football Club like no other so they will enjoy tonight and deserve a night like tonight and hopefully get the result and look forward to many more nights like this.
