If you had watched the Everton game, you would know Sunderland got lucky with two deflected goals.

It doesn't matter whether the goals scored were lucky or not. A win is a win.. it boosts morale and motivation for any team.

I'd rather watch my team get one lucky goal and win three valuable points, than watch my team dominate the entire game and lose 1-0.. wasted opportunities, as well as losing 3 vital points is crushing for a team who are fighting tooth and nail to stay up. When times are desperate, you value any goal scored, regardless of whether they are lucky or not.

I know I know. I just don't think Sunderland have enough or get lucky again against Arsenal. Football, after all, can be predictable.

It means that three of The FA’s national competitions will be decided across one weekend, with both The FA Trophy and FA Vase taking place at Wembley as part of a pilot double-header on Sunday 22 May.

The traditional curtain-raiser for the season, The FA Community Shield, takes place on Sunday 2 August with Jose Mourinho and his newly-crowned Premier League champions at Wembley to face either Arsenal or Aston Villa at 3pm.

That will be the second time the Blues are at Wembley that weekend, as The FA Women's Cup Final between Chelsea and Notts County Ladies is taking place at Wembley for the first time in the competition’s history with a 3pm kick-off on Saturday 1 August.

The domestic league season across the Premier League, Football League and the National League System commences on Saturday 8 August with the FA Cup Extra-Preliminary Round kicking off on 15 August.
