Shearer grateful for home draw

NEWCASTLE skipper Alan Shearer set his sights on another FA Cup semi-final appearance after his side were handed a home draw in the last eight yesterday.

The draw rewarded the Magpies for ending Chelsea's quadruple bid with a quarter-final against either Tottenham or Nottingham Forest at St James' Park.

Spurs and Forest fought out a 1-1 draw on Sunday and will meet again in a replay at the City Ground a week on Wednesday.
