heres the report from www.nufc.com
Chelsea 1-0 Newcastle Utd
Just like last season, our FA Cup meeting with Chelsea was settled by a fourth minute goal. Unfortunately, once again it was the home team that prevailed.
John Terry's low left-footed volley ended our season, ensuring that Alan Shearer's cup dreams remain unfulfilled and his testimonial game - two days before the FA Cup Final - will sadly be his last for us.
A makeshift side did well not to buckle after the early setback and although we kept battling for the remainder of the game, an equaliser never looked likely with only two or three half chances in the entire 90 minutes.
We started with Robbie Elliott and Peter Ramage in the centre of defence and Stephen Carr making his first appearance since a first half showing down the road at Fulham. Celestine Babayaro, who later limped off, was our other full-back.
Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer came in for Charles N'Zogbia and Emre while Alan Shearer ploughed a lone furrow up front with Nobby Solano and Shola Ameobi joining Scott Parker in the middle of the park.
It was a suitably cautious approach but any plans of frustrating the home side went out of the window when Terry's early shot found its way past Solano and Shay Given on the line.
Bowyer had a snapshot saved, with Shearer not quite able to make the rebound and Solano put a free-kick just wide but our threats on goal were minimal in a fairly sterile first half.
Babayaro limped off six minutes after the break which meant Craig Moore made his Newcastle debut, joining Ramage in the middle of the defence as Elliott went out on the left.
Chances were still few and far between in the second period and like in the first half, we failed to make the most of set-pieces as Chelsea 'keeper Carlo Cudicini had an incident-free evening.
Emre replaced Solano and although Dyer continued to run and probe for the full 90 minutes - his first full shift of the season - we just couldn't create anything like the half chance that Shearer was looking for to keep his and our cup dream alive.
Chelsea had chances to seal the victory as we pushed forward in search of the equaliser with Shaun Wright-Phillips and Eidur Gudjohnsen both spurning opportunities.
And it was a run from Wright-Phillips that led to the dismissal of Elliott for his second yellow, although yet again a home player tumbled over after the merest of contacts.
But the 90th minute sending off didn't cost us the game - by that stage our attempts to fashion an equaliser were desperate and ineffective, despite being urged on by a magnificent travelling support.
So, Jackie Milburn's FA Cup goalscoring record remains intact and Shearer will retire with just one winner's medal - a Premiership gong for Blackburn.
For the team he will be leaving behind, the rebuilding and preparation for next season starts here. The sooner a new manager can get started the better. Whether that proves to be Martin O'Neill - who was at Stamford Bridge - remains to be seen.
