This is understandable. One of this afternoon's semi-finalists, Blackburn Rovers, have recovered from the worst start in their history, but are still only half- way up the Second Division table, whereas their opponents from Newcastle have a Cup record this season better than anything achieved in the competition in the last 10 or 20 years.
