The draw for the FA Cup was made on Sunday and Newcastle will face Wolves away, at Molineux. On the same day the players departed from Newcastle Airport, the destination being Barcelona ahead of their Uefa Champions League clash. The Magpies have already played Wolves at Molineux this season, beating them in a friendly 2-0.

It's sure to be a tricky tie and the players will have to silence the crowd for starters.

Meanwhile, the squad flew out to Barcelona at the same time of the draw and defender Titus Bramble flew out with the team, so too did Carl Cort.

With Alan Shearer and Craig Bellamy suspended, the trio of Cort, Shola Ameobi and Lomana LuaLua will all be confident of gaining starting places against the Spanish giants.
