    Hopefully that's the only shock result for this weekend.

    I don't think it was that much of a shock mate, Portsmouth are garbage.

    Had to share Power's comments as it bring back more memories of Sunderland in London and how we all would want to be there today to experience it again.

    They weren’t exactly great football experiences,” says Johnson’s captain, the Birkenhead-born Max Power, who began his career at Tranmere. “But I remember us all stepping off the train at King’s Cross and there were thousands of our fans in the station.

    “When we got on to the platform they broke into a song and it echoed around King’s Cross. That’s something I’ll never forget. It was a surreal moment. We as players understand the privilege of playing for this football club and how much it means to everyone in this region.”

    Coming up the stairs at Covent Garden tube station before the City all you could hear was the noise and thinking was the hell is going on here then it hit as you tried to step out on to the pavement and a sea of people engulfed you. Will never forget that moment

    We walked to Covent Garden and didn't need a map. From a mile away you could hear what sounded like a beehive that kept getting louder. When we arrived it was incredible and even more incredible when the first person I bumped into was Dave Ashfield from Exeter who I stood on the Fulwell with for years.

    People from the north east as generous as they come. I think there's got to be something around appreciating money and how important it is. People down here don't quite get the importance of money. It's easy to get £5k into your payslip every month and never see any of it as it goes straight on mortgage and then card payments throughout the month. If you don't see money you don't get how important it is.

    Been pretty much non-plussed about this game all week, for some strange reason, but popped onto this thread and I'm now shaking like a ****ting dog. Nerves properly kicked in now.
    Quietly confident but you just never know and with our injuries, another kick in the balls a possibility. But ha'way lads, get this won then crack on in the league for the double.

    Been a good thread this, better than I expected.

    Not long to kick off now so I reckon this should be closed and we can use the great match thread.

    Haway Sunderland!
