1. As a result of the 1-1 draw, you have to play Arsenal at Highbury in a replay. All in all, you can't say that this is good Newcastle.

No, but there's everything still to play for. I imagine that Arsenal remember that we beat them at Highbury earlier in the season and that we can win. The other thing is that this is a Cup game and anything can happen. One thing's for sure, we will do our utmost to book our place in the Semi Finals.

2. Looking at the full ninety minutes, you must have regrets. You could have won the game.

Yes, but we had trouble finishing. I hope that Craig Bellamy's return will improve our finishing. The good thing is that we improved our attacking game in comparison to recent games. There were players on the pitch who don't normally start and they showed us that we can depend on them.

3. When will Bellamy be back?

I'm not sure although realistically, he could be back for the Arsenal game.

4. You equalised with your right foot and troubled the keeper several times. Are you happy with your game?

Yes, it went well. I think I did well in attack and in defence. I really enjoyed it and I hope to carry on like this.

5. What did you think of the game as a whole.

It was much better than of late. Two defeats in a week were really hard to take and the coach wanted us to really be up for the Cup match. I think we were. He was pleased with us and now we know we have it all to do to get to the Semi Final.

6. What are you up to today?

It's 11 and I'm just arriving for training. I'm going to physio as I took a knock on my knee and it's a bit swollen and I want it dealt with as soon as possible.

Having been flooded with people calling him an embarrassment last week, his site is full of people praising him today. Laughed at one lad telling him in English to learn English on a French language site.

This is one of his best interviews yet.

so will we look back on Anfield as the turning point for Lolo ? From here on in he's going to turn into the superstar he always believed he was, and we alwyas hoped he would be.

Solano has become a lovely player, with a consistent 8/10 score and often better, Robert at the same level and we'll be laughing at the oposition. Until Saturday anyway !

Aye Geordie, "I really enjoyed it and I hope to carry on like this" that is the best line I've heard.

Nice to see that he doesn't go over the top with praise for himself.
