Reaching a first League Cup semi-final in 47 years is one thing, but making it to a Wembley final? Well, that really would be the stuff of dreams for Newcastle United supporters, players, staff and owners alike.
Eddie Howe, himself, spoke about how 'we're desperate to hurry up the processes and try to get the team successful as quickly as possible' after Tuesday night's quarter-final win against Leicester City. The Newcastle head coach admitted it had been 'too long' since the club had won a trophy, back in May, 1969, when man had not even set foot on the moon.
With Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea already out of the competition, you can't help but feel the stars might be aligning, that Newcastle may never have a better chance of contesting a final. However, Newcastle certainly won't be taking Southampton lightly in the last four.
