Sunderland v West Ham on SKY

[The Wizard]

No histrionics from Gus in his PM interview. If he acted how he did here at times after matches at Sunderland he wouldn't get away with that, and he knows it.

Couldn't be happier at tonight's result

 

[Paris]

Hard luck story from Poyet in the post match interview. Get the violins out.

 

[clapham_gull]

Not happy on the Sunderland board and a quote worthy of discussion / reflection :

possession-without-penetration tactics that look pretty but leave us passing in our own half, one goal down with 15 minutes to go.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Sunderland are awful.

Spurs, man c, Everton, Chelsea next.

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Pretty sure that was a dig at Fat Sam there.

So Gus thinks it's going to go down to the wire.....Don't think so, they will be down with two games still to play.

 

[kevtherev]

Pretty sure that was a dig at Fat Sam there.

Yeah,,only Gus can have a dig at at guy who's team has put 9 goals past his, over the last four meetings....Like the tv said, Sunderland had plenty of the ball, but it was all in front of West Ham so no problem...That was before Johnson came on and nearly saved the day.

 

[portlock seagull]

Great result!

 

[symyjym]

1 point from six games, so hopefully Gus can equal PDC's 1 point from seven at the start of the season.

If there is any poetic justice in the world brighton will fo up and sunderland will come down. Just depends if everyone concerned has read the script!

Allegedly, Poyet not happy post match with the team

 

[Weststander]

I have no love for Palace but I have an intense dislike of Poyet so I can't help but want to see him and his ego relegated.

Ditto.
Poyet and his ego, are boring. The media fall for it, as a he comes cross as a frank talkaholic. The tactical genius that that is Poyet - spent £m's on wages/transfers at the Albion that we couldn't really afford (good old TB picked up the tab), and he turned us into a team/squad that struggle to score, the legacy of which is still seen today.

We told by the media last week that he's a tactical genius and so his team will deny Liverpool space and goals which may well get them a result at Anfield - it didn't - zero points. But then that the brave performance at Anfield would be a springboard to a home win over West Ham .... zero points again. The bore seems to be repeatedly unlucky.
