Highlights from Newcastle united’s Europa League first leg qualifying tie against the Bubble and Squeaks of Atromitos in Athens. Atromitos’s Denis Epstein dropped an Atromic bomb on the Toon with a well taken 24th minute goal which saw the Silver Supremo sweating for a while.

Newcastle United are going through (what is so far) a short spell without a win, so what can be done to pull us out of that? We’re in the midst of a slightly disappointing run.
