Drought of order
Eddie Howe is determined to end Newcastle’s trophy drought after steering the Magpies into the Carabao Cup semi-finals.
Dan Burn and Joelinton struck in a victory over Leicester to send the North East outfit into the last four for the first time since 1976.
Newcastle have not won a major domestic trophy since lifting the FA Cup in 1955 and Howe, 45, is out to set that right.
He said: “It’s too long, too long a wait. That’s no criticism of anyone that’s tried, but we’re desperate to hurry up the processes and try to get the team successful as quickly as possible.
“That’s easier said than done, and we now go to a semi-final. Getting to the semi-final is one thing, but you want to get into the final, you want to experience that.
“We know we’ll have a huge test ahead of us whoever we get, but we’re just delighted to be in there.”
Asked if his side would fear anyone in tonight’s draw, he added: “I don’t think fear is the right word. I think we respect whoever is left, but I don’t think fear is right.
“The two-legged semi-final is a different dynamic, but we’re just looking forward to it at this moment, and we’ll start preparing when the draw is made.”
Blend it like Beckham
David Beckham tried his best to fade into the background in a winter coat as he watched son Romeo make his Brentford B debut.
The Manchester United legend, 47, was spotted at the London Senior Cup clash between Erith & Belvedere and the Bees’ reserves.
New signing Romeo, 20, came off the bench after 55 minutes as Brentford won 3-2 thanks to an injury-time strike from Michael Olakigbe.
The youngster had a couple of chances to open his account as he flicked an effort over the bar soon after coming on and hit the woodwork with a header 18 minutes from time.
