LEAGUE CUP WINNERS 2013/2014!! Post Final Thread

[DruntBlunt]

I would not take too much notice of most on there, if you are aware of the idiots you just ignore, but if not you take their posts seriously, but it takes time on there to know who to ignore.
There are also a lot of posts of various threads with nothing but praise for your supporters, for helping making it a great day despite the loss.
Are we jealous? By god we are, we would love a little success, let alone the success that you will have in years to come. The Sunderland fans there yesterday if you did bump into them, would have treated you with respect and friendliness (I Hope) and hopefully that came across as most stayed to watch you get trophy and clap you out of the ground.
It, in my opinion, was a great weekend, made the better by 2 sets of great supporters. The vast majority of your supporters know what it is like not to have any success, and that showed in the respect you showed us.
Once again (I said this in another thread) well done lads, enjoy the win, and thanks for a great day. And most of us want you to win the league over anyone else of the possible contenders, and to come second in the FA Cup as we could have another day out together.

By the way, I'm curious as to how your fans view your current situation. Do you feel confident in Poyet, or still reserving judgment? And do you feel you'll avoid relegation?

cant speak for all but 99% are right behind Poyet, he has in all honesty done an amazing job after taking over a shambles from Di Canio. We gave other teams an 8 game head start! We are playing better football, got to a final, in a quarter in another and beat the mags twice. Touch and go if we stay up. We need to beat teams at home that are down there with us. We seem better against better teams (strangely) as they try to attack and we play on break. We don't really have guile to break teams down who sit back. Here's hoping but will be desperately close and awful tension till the end. We have a chance now, we were all but down in October! Even if we go down, people want Gus to stay.

Best of luck to you. Proper club, proper fans. I'll always remember you fondly for your reaction at the events 13.05.12

Just watched the bbc highlights, oh dear, Kevin Kilbane thought the ball hitting Yaya's chest was a penalty.

It's an odd one.

Based on the football Poyet has got Sunderland playing you would think that they are worth a top ten finish next season - if they do stay up and get rid of one or two in the summer and add one or two more, you can really see Poyet taking them somewhere. Certainly they are no worse than Newcastle and Southampton and arguably a fair bit better.

But first he's got to keep them up, and whilst there are more than 3 worse teams that Sunderland in the division, one point was it from the first eight games has given them a lot to do in the last quarter of the season.

Southampton and Newcastle are both significantly better than Sunderland.

We've played Southampton 4 times this season, 2 draws in the league and we have knocked them out of both cups.

We've played Newcastle twice and beat them 2-1 and 3-0

The league table shows us falsely low due to the disastrous start before Poyet joined. I think we gave you as good of a test as either of those would have yesterday

Don't know if mentioned but did anyone see Vinny drop the cup base/plinth? Good job it didn't go over the side!

...Nasri thought it were goin over the side too, for a few seconds !

Noticed when Vinnie went up to lift the Cup a few of the Sunderland hierarchy clapping including Jim Montgomery. Nice touch apart from that miserable twat of a chairman Ellis Short with hands stuck firmly in his pockets. Bragged before the game how they'd booked somewhere secret for the celebrations. Oh dear :)
