Chapter 3
Recap
Draws for the up and coming cup competition’s.
Likely, liverpool will do one over West Ham.
There are plenty of decent teams left in the FA Cup.
Brushed aside the division one team with the B team.
Nicky butt is back in my thoughts.
Still in the DMC role. I’d rather play him MC, as I can’t pick him over Barton.
Given the twats form.
Comfortable win in the first leg.
Barton is not letting butt’s performance faze him.
Still puts in a shift when called on.
Returning to FA Cup action.
Newcastle has been drawn away with Blackburn.
Happy with the win, but gutted Owen is injured.
Started Barton and Butt together, not bad.
Back to league cup action
semi final leg 2
And the unexpected happened.
Wolves knock in 3 goals before half time. Ffs.
Thankfully, viduka nicked a goal on the 90th to bring the agg 3-4
Subbed Given before he got a 4 rating
Duff was guff and milner did better in his position.
I was hoping for a debut/cup drama heroics by bringing on LuaLua.
But it wasn’t to be.
I’m happy to make it to the final of the competition.
Just liverpool to overcome.
League wise Liverpool are dominating.
I’m hoping the strain of their European venture will slow them down at some point.
But I need to focus on my own teams performance and not others.
Derby day and this time newcastle are the visitors.
FA Cup quarter final draw.
Finally, there is a bit of competition in this tournament
First half goes well.
Barton breaks the deadlock.
Emre continues his form with the assist too.
Full time
Owen gets a goal thanks to yet another Emre assist in the game.
Happy with the teams performance.
Draw for the FA Cup semi-finals, and I dodge the Premiership team. However, I’m up against Wolves.
Could be my bogey team.
Duff picks an injury playing away.
Not what I needed this late on in the season.
It’s that time.
And it starts well.
It had to be nicky butt.
There is still another half to go.
And the whistle blows.
Newcastle has won the league Cup final.
Brought the same energy to the second half and this time took the chances on offer.
The ever impressive Emre steals the show with a MOTM award.
Can see why he’s been singled out for his performance.
It may only be the league Cup.
But a final is still a final, and I beat the current league leaders.
