Cape Town - Third-division Bradford City continued their remarkable progress in the FA Cup by beating Premier League Sunderland 2-0 on Sunday to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 1976.

Bradford, beaten League Cup finalists in 2013, stunned Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge in round four and they pulled off another upset at Valley Parade courtesy of a John O'Shea own goal and a strike by Sunderland old boy Jon Stead.

Poyet took issue with how the media used his quotes after Sunderland's midweek loss to QPR. After that loss, Poyet insisted he wouldn't be "basing [his] stay at the club around the supporters".

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
