Calderwood happy with Dons life
The Dons boss has made no secret of his desire to bring the cup back to Pittodrie before he searches for pastures new.[LNB]But, he insists if his side were to go all the way this year, he would still have a lot of work left to do at the club.[LNB]"I love it at Aberdeen and there is still a lot of work to do here," he said.[LNB]"If you did win it then you would have to look at things but, really, after Aberdeen, you don't have too many other choices in Scotland.[LNB]"We have a crop of fantastic kids coming through and I love the city, and I love the club.[LNB]"Somebody asked me if I would like to manage in England and, eventually, I would but there is an awful lot we still have to do here first."[LNB]If Calderwood is going to guide his charges to Scottish Cup glory then his side will have to overcome Dunfermline in a quarter-final replay on Wednesday night.[LNB]The Dons will start as favourites but Calderwood is expecting a tricky encounter.[LNB]He added: "We have been well warned about what can happen if you underestimate teams from the lower leagues in the past.[LNB]"But the players are looking fabulous in training and we just need them to take that into the game."[LNB]Dunfermline midfielder Nick Phinn is hoping the romance of the cup throws up another shock at Pittodrie.[LNB]Phinn earned his side a lucrative second bite at the cherry with a late equaliser in the 1-1 draw between the sides earlier this month and was disappointed not to make more of two other chances that fell his way in the game.[LNB]However, having fallen behind to Sone Aluko's 61st-minute strike, the youngster admits the Fifers were happy enough to force a replay against their more-fancied opponents.[LNB]And the 21-year-old is hoping another even game could go the way of the Irn-Bru First Division side this time round, despite their hosts going into the tie as overwhelming favourites.[LNB]He said: "I was disappointed with the chances I did miss in the first game, especially the one in the first half when I should have hit the target and made the keeper make a save.[LNB]"At the second chance, the keeper pulled off a good save, to be fair to him, but I was happy to get the equaliser. We were pushing for the win but maybe a draw was a fair result.[LNB]"Going into that game, we had to give Aberdeen the praise they deserve, being the SPL team.[LNB]"But after the game, we had shown we could give them a good game.[LNB]"We know going up there, they're definitely going to be the favourites, but they were favourites coming down to us and we know we can match them.[LNB]"Anything can happen in the cup."[LNB][LNB]
