David Blanchflower: After last night's match I'm totally drained. Sitting/standing in the Leazes end I was up and down like a Yo-yo.
All totally worth it I'm sure, David!

The only question was whether Newcastle could keep up the breathtaking pace and intensity, but when the tempo did die down they were able to exert a measure of control that ensured they always remained in charge of the destiny of this semi-final.
Gordon's goal was the clincher, the catalyst for a long period of celebration as Newcastle moved towards a successful finale.
And now the dream is within touching distance again for Newcastle and the supporters who crave success after that defeat against Manchester United at Wembley in 2023.
Victory against either Liverpool or Spurs at Wembley would ensure legendary status for manager Howe and his players.

Image source, Getty ImagesYes, Newcastle United are once again within one victory of ending a 56-year wait for silverware after convincingly beating Arsenal at a raucous St James' Park last night.
Eddie Howe's side, who held a 2-0 advantage from the semi-final first leg, completed the second part of the assignment with a 2-0 win on home soil thanks to goals from Jacob Murphy and Anthony Gordon.
The Magpies will now face Liverpool or Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley as they seek to end their long period without major success, stretching back to the 1969 triumph in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup.
They will also be hoping to make amends after losing to Manchester United in the EFL Cup final just two years ago, having not claimed a first domestic honour since the 1955 FA Cup.
