The Reason Why We Can Get A Result In Ukraine!

The bookies believe Newcastle will exit Europe on Thurday when they face Metalist Kharkiv on their own sub-vero turf. But there are reasons for Toon fans to believe we will triumph. We have been held 0-0 at St James' Park four times in our European history, and twice we have progressed to the next round. As Fairs Cup holders, in 1969, we face our very first all-England tie when Southampton came to Tyneside. They got the result they wanted, but Pop Robson scored in a 1-1 draw at the Dell and we won on away-goals. In November 1999 we lost 1-0 in the 'Eternal City' to Roma with a goal from Marco Delvecchio, and we couldn't overturn the result two weeks later. April 2004 we played in the UEFA Cup semi-finals against French side Olympique Marseille and mis-fired despite Gary Speed and Andy O'Brien coming close in the final minutes. Then a Didier Drogba-inspired performance rocked the Magpies in France and we lost 2-0. But . August 2006 and we won 1-0 in Latvia against FK Ventspils with a Titus Bramble goal . and held out in the second leg. So it just goes to show . ALWAYS KEEP BELIEVING!   Source: Newcastle United Mad
