As predicted on this website, after the bullshit and the hype of last week, the Mackems won't be talking about Wembley this week.
As for the open-top bus parade - they say they wouldn't have had it even if they won the League Cup trophy this weekend.
The decision was taken by the club with the full backing of head coach Gus Poyet who is happy to battle for Premier League survival.
Yep ... after the Lord Mayor's Parade come the shit cart.
