Who are they? Exactly!
Newcastle United were second out of the Carling Cup hat tonight to face Accrington Stanley.
You couldn't quite make it up really but just when a comfortable home tie was the cry, United face the ultimate banana skin tie.
Last season Chris Hughton played his youngsters in the competition but up against Accy Stanley, defeat just isn't an option.
Newcastle's Joey Barton has already stated he fancies a "nice little cup run" and the tie will be a contender for live TV coverage at this early stage.
