Excellent. I dislike everything about Chelsea and their dirty money.

I agree. It's good when one of the unfashionable clubs knock them out.

Mourinho's first ever defeat (discounting penalties) in the League Cup too

Who said a Gus side can't comeback from 1 nil down

A multitude of BHAFC fans at home games.......

Funnily enough his last comeback was against Chelsea in our pre season friendly that we won 3-1.

That penalty defeat was against Blackburn and Paul Robinson if my memory serves me correctly. 2006/07?

 

[Soulman]

Blimey he's beaten the club that he wants to manage........

 

[Mellotron]

Great stuff Gus.

 

[Acker79]

The Tottenham job becomes available, suddenly Gus shows he can beat top teams...

Excellent. I dislike everything about Chelsea and their dirty money.

Even their physio?

The interesting thing about Sunderland this season is their fixture list. They've already played Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, Newcastle, Chelsea and Tottenham at home. Obviously, that means their remaining home games are against just about everyone else, which equals PLENTY of opportunities for wins. Okay, they're going to pick up next to nothing away, as they still have to visit all those teams, but it's home form that keeps you up and Gus couldn't ask for anything better than this run at the Stadium of Light: Norwich, Villa, Southampton, Stoke, Hull, West Brom, Palace, West Ham, Everton, Cardiff and Swansea on the final day. That's all their remaining fixtures at home this season in order. I think he's got a very good chance of pulling off an escape.

They must still have some winable away games to and only need a couple along with some home wins. The result tonight will give them confidence to go on and get some results.

At the final whistle he didn't look overly happy.

Given that he's already beaten Man City, why would the Spurs vacancy interest him? He got sacked from Spurs with Ramos in 2008.

I do wonder how Gus will approach those tough away matches. They're all pressure games too at the top, especially when the spring months arrive. I can see Sunderland getting something at Liverpool because he'll say again what a top fella Luis Suarez is! He put his neck on the line for him when everyone was ready to condemn him without evidence over the Patrice Evra thing. The board will back him financially in January and he'll find the right players. The only mid-table side they might face near the end is Swansea. Those are the sort of games you dream of with players thinking of their summer holidays - not six pointers against sides like West Ham or Cardiff.

 

[W.C.]

Deja vu all over again watching Sunderland...

Pratting around at the back and no shots on target in the first half.

and then beating Chelsea. Yep, definitely deja vu

Charlton at home?

His only ever Chelsea home defeat?

I hear that Gus believes most of Di canios signings would not get into the Brighton team
