The second semi-final being played is tonight:
Nottingham Forest vs Manchester UnitedI'm very happy for the supporters of Newcastle United because they have waited and gone too long without any trophies to celebrate but now it's looking like that is going to change if they can get to the finals. Leading to Joelington's goal, Isak did really well to skip past the Southampton defenders. From now on I think he deserves to always start games for Newcastle.
Newcastle United have the advantage going into the second leg and they can surely win to meet the winners between Manchester United and Nottingham forest. If Newcastle get to the Finals, they have a very good chance of winning it, Newcastle defence has been excellent this season.
There still is a chance Southampton could turn this around and go to the final at Wembley themselves but it will be tough.
@JollyGood Newcastle supporters are probably dreaming about winning the trophy, and to be honest they deserve at least one trophy for the way they have played this season. However they won by a very slim margin, and I hope that their player’s do not get carried away and don’t end up underestimating Southampton in the return leg otherwise they could end up missing playing in the final’s
Newcastle have been dreaming of becoming a big club for a very long time, well they are a big club with a big local support base but they need to win trophies to be taken seriously. Maybe they will start from this cup and go on a winning run. I still think Southampton will make it difficult and could even make it to the final themselves.
Nottingham Forest vs Man Utd tonight.
Obviously Man Utd go in as huge favourites but Forest will fight hard because they might not get a better chance to get to a final. I’ll be rooting for Forest, would be great to see them get to Wembley but I just don’t think it’ll happen unfortunately.
I would not be surprised if Nottingham Forest won tonight but lost heavily in the return leg at Old Trafford. For the neutrals, I am sure they would prefer a Southampton vs Nottingham Forest final.
