Blackburn skipper Nelsen pleased with their Northeast record

Blackburn Rovers captain Ryan Nelsen was satisfied with their 0-0 FA Cup draw at Sunderland on Saturday.

It extended a remarkable sequence of results in the North-East that includes 12 wins and two draws away to Newcastle, Middlesbrough and Sunderland, and victory over Blyth in the last round.

"I can't think another team will have a record like ours up here," said Rovers defender Nelsen.

"It must be something in the air."
