Newcastle United will not be invincible, but they have proved to be tireless. Their unbeaten run is over, but only after an amazing recovery. First loss of the season was caused by Gael Givet in the 120th minute controversy, radical ties, which respite for Steve Kean, and a fourth quarter-final place for five years for Blackburn Rovers.
However, while their first major trophy in 43 seasons is made less likely to Newcastle, who left the best reputation. "I can not fault the players," said manager Alan Pardew. "They do not know which way in. If we are out of the cup is the way to go. I do not like the label of gallant losers, but it was a magnificent effort."
This was demonstrated dramatically. Heroic injury is not supposed to be the prerogative of individual States, but Danny Guthrie and Yohan Cabaye success in the space of four minutes of added time to illustrate his irrepressibility.
The central midfielders have provided some striking examples of cleaning to send the game into overtime and cause a reaction of his own Blackburn. Guthrie shot from 25 yards kissed the grass, sweeping past Mark Bunn. Then Cabaye free kick in the sixth minute of added time, struck a similar distance and height and accuracy, shot beyond the keeper. "Two strokes," said Pardew.
This meant that, after having lasted for 90 minutes, Newcastle received a 30. Blackburn, the bottom of the Premier League, Martin Olsson wrote to square the ball to end Rochina Reuben intelligently. Their advantage was extended to the questionable fashion, visitors questioned the interpretation of the referee Robert Madley penalty. Within a few seconds - a time of Madley, perhaps - Christopher Samba Demba Ba collected in a box and then attack against Blackburn, Tim Krul Rochina defied the attacks, apparently, legally, on the other. Yakubu Ayegbeni Madley disagreement and indifference turned off. "Samba Demba was and he had his hand on his arm," said Pardew. "I thought it was a shame. Complicating Tim plays the ball. It was a shame."
Have driven by a sense of injustice, for his part made the right to retaliate. They had to meet again when Morten Gamst Pedersen with a deflected free kick restored the advantage Blackburn. Newcastle and Madley was not finished, the official spotting tug on Grant Hanley Peter Lovenkrands after Bunn denied Ba with a stop smart.
Lovenkrands scored the penalty, but when another 10 appeared to be a sign Blackburn avoid a shootout. Showing his threatened use of new, Pedersen missed a free throw at the far post, Samba runs through the lens and Givet line together.
His boss considered him a suitable match winner. Kean said: "Gaël Givet encapsulates the spirit that we do not know who will come out at halftime with a hamstring injury and play the second half and overtime, he is a warrior. ".
Pardew was phlegmatic: "Sometimes events just go against you and tonight, many things seemed to go against us." Disappointment was accompanied by a sense of the novelty of having negotiated and undefeated two and a half months, a feat. In all competitions, and eluded all other Premier League football club Newcastle proved the rarest of sensations lose.
