McCarthy keen to put record straight

Sunderland boss Mick McCarthy has been studying a video nasty as he prepares his side for their Division One play-off semi-final showdown with Crystal Palace.

The Black Cats travelled to Selhurst Park on April 21 for what proved to be a disastrous night as keeper Mart Poom was dismissed after conceding a penalty and his side went down 3-0 as the Eagles staged their late charge into the top six.
