Geordies to play Man U in Semi

Man U and Arsenal were kept apart in the FA Cup Semi-Final draw today. So Chelsea's conquerors Newcastle United play United whilst Blackburn play Arsenal.

Both games will be played at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 April.

Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd said afterwards: "It's not the draw we wanted, but it won't have been the draw Manchester United wanted either. There's no reason why we cannot beat them. We won't be frightened of them, we owe them one for the Charity Shield defeat at Wembley in 1996 and also for the FA Cup final defeat in 1999, so we'll look forward to this one. Reet then I'm off to the brothel for lunch."
