Not playing over the Easter break was a strange feeling, considering it is the first time (I think!) in my lifetime that Sunderland have ever had to sit it out. If we had actually turned up at Port Vale in the last round, then we would possibly have been at Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea, but we did not, so we were not. The players could get themselves back in the Academy of Light as we build up to the visit of Spurs to the Stadium of Light.
