I have spoken to the referee and it always amazes when they say 'it is in your opinion'. I have looked at it 47 times on my laptop so I don't know how it is (an) opinion, that's what I am flummoxed with.

Our work ethic was not at the level that it takes to win.
I always ask for a little bit more not a little bit less
I don't think some of the individuals have learned yet to be team players and spread the winning habit.
If the impossible is going to become possible, the work ethic has got to go up, the discipline has got to go up, the sense of responsibility has to go up and we've got to be prepared to play the game that we work on all week.

If you need to show somebody somewhere in the world where they don't watch Sunderland every week, you show him this game and tell him this is the story of the season and that's it.
I don't have a word because it's not one feeling, really. It hurts, it hurts because it doesn't matter what we do, something happens. And it's not an excuse, I don't really believe in luck.

It feels marvellous and feels like the destination at the end of a long journey; an impressive journey from a group of people who are totally motivated and committed to stand the test of what a season is.
Despite what people think, I don't scream and shout at them all the time. I talk to them about what I think is important for them as individuals and the team.If they realign then fantastic; if they don't we talk some more and if they don't then, they disappear out the building.
