Gus v Southampton in the Cup

[The Brighton Buzz]

Having just seen Poyet gobbing off at the linesman after not getting a decision, I realised how refreshing it is to have Manager that has an element of control on the sidelines. I realise that some people like to see some passion from their manager, but just because Oscar doesn't jump up and down it does not mean he doesn't care. Out of interest what type of manager would you rather have.

Strong silent type. The current edition of WSC has an editorial regarding managers who prefer to remain in the background and eschew the "rentaquote" style. Also has a review of "Mad Man" - basically they liked it.

a cool, calm, respectful, type of zen master type dude.......like OG.

Just wish his interviews were more interesting / gave more away.

Yep. I read that. Agreed with it too. They took the view that that media was taking against Pellegrini because he doesn't serve up a diet of well rehearsed lines or goads other managers.

I am quite happy with Oscar's undemonstrative manner.

pretty sure he is not cup tied. Bit weird though. Already had enough of gus

 

[smudge]

I prefer a winning manager.

 

[Creaky]

So when GP sits calmly in his seat he is accused of sulking, when he gets animated on the side line he is criticised as well

Personally I prefer a manager that shows he cares - how many real fans would just sit calmly when there was a chance of a penalty shout?

1-0 Sunderland now

 

[LamieRobertson]

Yawn

Sunderland one up by the way

 

[Paris]

What a goal

 

[hybrid_x]

16k crowd !!! saints should be all out to win today with nothing to play for in the league.

 

[smudge]

How many clubs left in PL with a strong cup tradition; meaning the fans still turn up for it. Spurs are one, never forget our cup game up there; fantastic atmosphere.

 

[StonehamPark]

Great win for Sunderland.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

I'd fancy Sunderland at the Amex in he next round if we can get past hull.

 

[One Love]

Southampton didn't seem to want to stay in the cup there. Very strange attitude shown by them there. Hope Hull turn up like that.
