With respect, all fans would do that - it's called optimism? I don't disagree that it is tempting fate though.

Newcastle fan in peace... Hi guys, looking forward to tonights game, it should be. good close contest? The tie won't be resolved tonight, though it will definitely be hard fought and there may be one goal in it at the end, it's the second leg which will be key I think, so I will be hoping after 90 minutes we haven't 'ballsed' it up and are still in with a shout ahead of the St James' return. I see from one or two posters on here - some maybe with a 'Mackem' bias - that Newcastle fans are already booking London Hotels, flights etc. let me tell you that is total 'tripe', we have great respect for Saints and are taking absolutely 'nowt' for granted here, a Cup Semi Final is a foreign country for us (nearly 20 years actually) and we are both delighted to be in with a shout of progressing to a final, but apprehensive at the same time - just as we should be. Anyway best of luck tonight, I hope its a great game and may the best team win, like I said it's the 2nd leg that will be crucial not this one. Mighty Wyn
