We must enjoy what we have done here, but the goal is the final, not just a day out in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Looking back at the time I have been at Stoke, we have said if we don&#8217;t make it this year we will make it next year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But you get to my age and know these chances don&#8217;t come along very often.
