Sitting in a Giraffe cafe in Heathrow Terminal Five, before a flight up to Newcastle to be with The Management’s family over the Easter period, and my mind is firmly now locked on the FA Cup game tomorrow against Southampton. It’s funny, because all week my mind has been laser-focused on the other South Coast club we’re playing next weekend, but with Arteta and Eckert’s press conferences due to take place today, suddenly this match tomorrow has felt like it has crept up on me.

Their manager will not play it as I suspect, but i’m sure they are all feeling it.
