Former Premier League striker and talkSPORT pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor has said that he believes Newcastle United are 'not a big club' after their 5-1 win over Brentford yesterday afternoon.
The Magpies moved up to fifth position on Saturday evening after dominating the Bees yesterday and have only lost once in their opening nine games this season - Manchester City are the only team undefeated so far this campaign.
Goals from Bruno Guimaraes, Jacob Murphy, Miguel Almiron and an own goal from Brentford defender Ethan Pinnock made it nine goals in their last two games as Eddie Howe's side built on their 4-1 win over Fulham last week.

Speaking on talkSPORT last night, Agbonlahor was critical of the Magpies despite praising their fans in a conversation with fellow presenter and pundit Jamie O'Hara.
"When you say Newcastle are a big club, in what way are they big? They've never won a Premier League though, do you mean fanbase-wise?
"I think they've got an amazing fanbase, they've turned St. James' Park into a fortress and some top players have played for them before but I wouldn't call them a big club, no."
