The London media love nothing more than to have a dig at our club and the Geordie fans, and some are already writing the headlines for Monday morning ... just waiting to call us rascists!
The Sun and the Mirror have a long history of telling lies about our fans, so expect them to milk any small matter to sell a few newspapers.
They hammered us at Tranmere years ago, when Toon fans entered the ground singing when a minute's silence was in place.
It was not a show disrespect, those fans simply didn't know a silence was in place ... but the newspapers made it front page news.
If you are taking banners ... THINK what you put on them ... because the FA will come down hard on the club if anything is out of order.
NEWCASTLE v BENFICA
Only one team have beaten Benfica away from the Stadium Of Light this season ... in all competitions.
United have to beat the Portuguese champions by two goals (at least), and Benfica's only away defeat was 2-1 in Moscow.
They even held Barcelona 0-0 in the Nou Camp in the Champions League.
