London Football Focus

Newcastle v Chelsea (3pm Sunday, Wembley Stadium, live on Sky Sports 2) Tickets: Sold out Top FA Cup scorers: Newcastle: Shearer (5); Chelsea: Poyet (4) Fact: Chelsea won the last FA Cup meeting with Newcastle on penalties in a third-round tie in 1996. Chelsea went on to reach the semi-final before losing to Manchester United Recommended pub: The Globe (nr Baker Street station) is the best bet for Newcastle fans while Chelsea supporters might prefer one of the watering holes along Wembley High Street Chelsea matches are coming as thick and fast as episodes of EastEnders - but a lot less depressing. Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night turned into Fantasy Island for a few superlative minutes and it was memorable, when Tore Andre Flo's third goal went in, to see the wide-eyed panic on the faces of the Barcelona superstars. The fat lady, though, is still just tuning up for the second leg in the Nou Camp in a fornight and, meanwhile, Dennis Wise and Co must take a collective deep breath and look towards those condemned twin towers. With two 1-0 victories over the Magpies already in the bag for Chelsea this season, they must fancy their chances of a win treble. Gustavo Poyet must be itching for a game after being rested on Wednesday and going all the way to Uruguay last week for just a few minutes as a late substitute (would a capacity crowd mean was it a full-Montevideo?) It was a lot of tedious travelling, to be sure Gus, but just think of the Air Miles. VERDICT: BLUES BACK AT WEMBLEY IN MAY

Very poor, with comments like that it's a Toon win for sure.
