00:00The old adage of having two London buses sort of thing, waiting for ages for so many, for
00:08nothing to come and then suddenly two could, could come along at once. Technically three
00:13could come along at once because Newcastle aren't the only side who actually can still
00:16do a domestic treble which is unbelievable to think about it. I mean I think the league's
00:19probably a little bit out of their reach but certainly in the two cup competitions it's
00:23very much a possibility in my mind at least. As you say they're brightened in the fifth
00:29round of the FA Cup to come, very much winnable because Brighton, yes they won at St. James's
00:32Park earlier on in the league. They're very much a hit and miss side this season. They
00:38can either be really good or times as this organ's not in forest 7-0 you know they can
00:42take a real hiding off some teams. So I think if you can play them at their own game a little
00:46bit you have a lot of luck against them because they've only got really one style of playing
00:51and as obviously we've mentioned as well Newcastle into the final of the league cup. So Joe could
00:56they win two cups or is that just a bit of a pie in the sky thing? It's not pie in the
01:00sky because you know you take a look at any bookie's odds or anything they're second favourite
01:03for the FA Cup obviously behind Man City and I think you would fancy, Newcastle would fancy
01:07the chances that anyone they play left in the competition on any given day to win. I
01:11think you wanted a home draw which they got. Yes it's you know they preferred a lower league
01:15team but ultimately it's a home draw against a Premier League team that you know isn't
01:20I don't want to say one of the traditional top six that's a horrendous sort of thing
01:23but they'll fancy the chance against Brighton and you know you get into that last stage
01:26then as I said they will want, they will fancy a chance against anyone and if they can get
01:32for me it would be getting that first win at Wembley. Hopefully it comes in the current
01:35cup of course but if they lose to Liverpool then if they can get the semi-finals and get
01:40that win even in the semi-final. No it doesn't end in a trophy but it's just getting over
01:43that hoodoo isn't it and getting and winning on a Wembley stage again and thinking actually
01:47you know we're here for a reason we can do it on the big games. I think they've got a
01:52great chance I think you just hope that their league form doesn't suffer too much as a result
01:56of all these cup runs. I mean what are their info on the league or return to the Champions
02:01League very probably will that suffer because of you know the mental exhaustion and physical
02:04exhaustion of having to play these cup games only time will tell but they've got a chance
02:10they've got a few real tough games coming up in the Premier League and by the time that
02:12Brighton game comes you know within a couple of weeks at the beginning of March they might
02:16have won a trophy they might be in the last quarter-final or might all be you know the
02:20dreams might all be dead so it'll be an interesting sort of month and one that you know
02:24Newcastle United fans will hopefully look back on in years to come thinking actually
02:28this was when you know the make or break time of the season that this sort of period and
02:32yeah we could be in for a real exciting few months. Yeah and that's what's so exciting
02:36about Newcastle United at the moment because yes there's been some down points this season
02:39so far you know games at home games away but the fact that they are still in with a shot
02:44of getting to the Champions League they are of course in both cup competitions it's really
02:49quite exciting and something that we've yearned for as Newcastle supporters for so many years
02:53and so it is just fantastic to be a part of it and to see a side who can compete on a
02:58regular basis.
