    Right. I'm here lads. Let's discuss this weekends results.

    Now, seems to me that you got your rectums resized about YAY big. Which also unfortunately makes it 3 losses on the bounce. With Hull about to do a number on you and dumping you out of the other cup I can see some real trouble going forward.

    Us... looks like we've recovered from our substantial slump and have found some form again. Sitting comfortable in 8th, looking up.

    Trouble with being a wum is that none of us give a toss what you think.

    Anyway, who knows how the Hull game will go? And your manager has just added to your growing reputation as a bunch of horse-bothering rioters with a speciality in smashing up your own town after every derby loss, so plenty class there. Keep "sitting comfortably"...

    Sandy, Travelprick only comes on when we get beat.
    I imagine he's a sad adolescent with a bad case of acne.

    Aye come come now. Don't be sad.

    To be fair you did well, very well until that Yaya goal flew in, and it was a cracking goal, deserving of winning any cup final.

    btw I'm 30 years old and never suffered from acne, but I feel for people who do. It's no laughing matter.

    Thing is, none of us are sad. Disappointed that we lost but very happy that we have fans with class (look it up you don't really know what that's, either in school terms or life terms) and we played very well. No rectum resizing, even the city fans say that. Class goals beat us. Not great intricate play which we couldn't handle, only 2 world class goals. As you lost your last cup final 3-0 you'll know how losing feels, but you'll never know how feeling good and being proud despite losing feels

    SUNDERLAND&#8217;S Capital One Cup final performance has put them on the map on the other side of the Atlantic, insists Gus Poyet.


    Supporters took immense pride in the performance of the Black Cats in their first major final for 22 years last weekend, despite Poyet&#8217;s side ultimately being pegged back by Manchester City in the second half.

    But Poyet says Sunderland&#8217;s display in the 3-1 final defeay at Wembley has also earned the plaudits further afield after the head coach has spoken to friends and family in his native South America this week.

    &#8220;Everyone was watching all over the world and I can say we&#8217;ve had plenty of praise from South America,&#8221; said the Uruguayan.

    &#8220;They didn&#8217;t know what to expect; they were thinking Man City would run over us.

    &#8220;But we&#8217;ve had very good reports from everyone.&#8221;

    Poyet has received plenty of feedback on Wearside too, with Sunderland&#8217;s squad &#8211; minus their international absentees &#8211; spending the week training at the Academy of Light.

    And the Sunderland boss is pleased to know supporters are buying into his vision for the club, by seeing the progress being made with the side.

    &#8220;The only way to compete as a club and convince the fans is to show them what we are going to give them,&#8221; he said.

    &#8220;That&#8217;s what I try to explain to foreigners coming into England.

    &#8220;I tell them that they need to do everything for the club, because then, they&#8217;re going to become a legend.

    &#8220;That&#8217;s what you&#8217;re paid for; to make decisions and do everything possible for the fans.&#8221;

    As for Poyet himself, he remains split by contrasting emotions &#8211; the disappointment of losing the final, yet heartened by Sunderland&#8217;s performance.

    &#8220;There&#8217;s two sides,&#8221; he added.

    &#8220;One of them is what I hate; losing. It was a great opportunity to win something important.

    &#8220;But on the other side, when you try to get away from emotions, you feel proud and what it meant to the fans &#8211; how much they enjoyed their weekend.

    &#8220;That&#8217;s very pleasing because it was a great day.&#8221;

    IT was THE chance for Sunderland to send the Capital One Cup final into extra time.


    When Marcos Alonso&#8217;s knockdown fell into the path of Steven Fletcher on the edge of the Manchester City six-yard box, it was crying out for the Sunderland substitute to unleash a swinger with his weaker right foot.

    Instead, Fletcher was caught in two minds and the ball bounced harmlessly off him and behind for a goal-kick.

    That 89th-minute spurned opportunity at Wembley was a moment which could have left Fletcher haunted for weeks, months and beyond.

    But the Scotland international is more philosophical; insisting it was only when he watched replays that he realised the quality of the chance.

    Fletcher told the Echo: &#8220;I think other people were talking about it more than me.

    &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t going to shoot, I was going to cross it.

    &#8220;But then obviously, when I&#8217;ve seen it back, I should have shot.

    &#8220;It&#8217;s just one of those things.&#8221;

    Sunderland&#8217;s future, rather than their past, holds far more prominence in Fletcher&#8217;s thoughts, with the Black Cats facing a crucial outing in the relegation battle against fifth-bottom Crystal Palace tomorrow.

    After suffering defeat in the FA Cup quarter-final at Hull last weekend, Sunderland now know that they have a dozen remaining games to save their Premier League status.

    And the chance to leapfrog Palace is a pivotal step for Gus Poyet&#8217;s side, as they look to beat one of their relegation rivals at the Stadium of Light for only the second time this season.

    &#8220;We can focus 100 per cent on the league now,&#8221; said Fletcher.

    &#8220;The boys know what&#8217;s ahead of them.

    &#8220;We need to put the Hull result behind us, look to the Premier League and win some games.

    &#8220;The Palace game is massive for us. We all know that.

    &#8220;I&#8217;d say the Palace game is as big as the final just now.

    &#8220;We obviously need to win; especially at home against one of the teams around us.

    &#8220;We always seem to perform better against the so-called bigger teams, but we need to start picking up points against the teams in or around us.&#8221;
