Match date: Wednesday 04 December 2013.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Final Score: Sunderland 3 – 4 Chelsea<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reflection…<\/p>\n

Wow… What a crazy night of Football at the SOL!<\/p>\n

Hugely disappointed to essentially lose to an own goal of course, but this is Football…<\/p>\n

Chelsea certainly knew they were in a game this evening, and if it were not for the brilliantly talented Hazard, then for me the result would have been a very different one.<\/p>\n

Crazy, crazy match… To score three goals at home, let’s be honest – you would expect to win the game!<\/p>\n

A couple of poor goals to concede but the passion, commitment and quality were there for all to see. We passed it really well and looked a threat from the outset.<\/p>\n

Absolutely delighted for\u00a0Jozy\u00a0Altidore on scoring his first league goal for us. He looked quick, strong and up-for-it; hopefully the first of many in the Red & White shirt.<\/p>\n

As disappointed as I am that – for all our effort – we finished the game with nothing to show from it points wise, I am actually finding it difficult to be ‘down’ about it. If you didn’t know otherwise you would never in a million years think that we were rock bottom of the league – we looked like a comfortable mid-table side brimming with confidence.<\/p>\n

Again, result aside the team is looking very positive and on-the-up under Gus Poyet. Continue to put in performances like that, then I’m confident that we’ll be fine come the end of the season.<\/p>\n

As Yazz, of Yazz & The Plastic Population fame used to shout about in the late 1980’s: The Only Way Is Up!<\/p>\n

*In other news, reports are coming in of a loud “CRASH – BANG – WALLOP!!” noise reverberating around the North-East…<\/p>\n

What is that noise I hear you ask?!<\/p>\n

Relax folks: It’s only the wheels coming off the N*wcastle United band wagon!<\/p>\n

On to the next one… bring on Tottenham at the weekend!<\/p>\n
