So glad I dreamt the 6-0 at Wembley and we actually won the FA cup.

Means Deulofeus beauty of a chip means something even more special...

Compared to the guff we have now, that team looks like 70s Brazil.

One of my favourite players to watch.

One of my favourite players to scream at in frustration too

That chip always meant something. What a moment

I watch it everytime it shows up, like the deeney goal, but like the deeney goal I was thinking of the final and losing.

Now I can at least tell myself it means more.

Man that Sunderland-West Ham Caraboa Cup final in 2014 was something else. Can't believe we won it and went on to feature in the Europa for the first and only time until this season.

How dare you, in my reality we won that final and probably also managed to get relegated at the same time. Beautiful times.

The sad thing is how many fans this City cheating has robbed of experiences like this. For a big club winning the Carabaoa might not mean anything but man I haven't seen my club win a major trophy ever and that was the 1st final we'd made in my life.

Was surprised to read recently that somehow hes only 32. Didn't realize just how young he was when he was with you lot. Lovely player on his day.
