Think some thought there would be a new manager bounce and this would be a type of a game we would lose.
Think some are already on the beach
Don’t think Spurs will go down on that performance. They will pick up the points they need in my opinion. But I may well be totally wrong and they may not pick up another point this season. It’s going to be one of a number of scenarios thats for sure. With 6 games remaining I do know the titles lost though.
European spots are wide open true.
Can't remember it ever being this close so late in the season.
As for us "underperforming" and/or having a new manager bounce, this has been our level for almost two years now, and three new managers have failed to produce a bounce.
It's a bigger game than most realise. We play Villa and beating them could potentially push them down to 5th... Ironically, if Villa finish 5th and win the Europa League, it means 6th place gets a Champions League spot...
We've historically had a tendency to slip up against poorly performing teams and give them a bit of a springboard. Thankfully, this team seems to be breaking all the old Sunderland "hoodoos"!
Give Xhaka th freedom of the city
On Sunderland pushing for Europe: "Before the season, nobody expected us to be where we are. When I signed it was 2% chance of us staying up and now it is over 100%. Give this football club respect. We stay humble and see what we can do until the end."

We played some lovely football, and we played as a team. Spurs were disjointed and weren't cohesive. No leader, no passion, no teamwork.
Great result
Disjointed at times
Still proud of the effort and resilience
RLB is a genius

He was just stronger than them, as usual.
Well Spurs did want to leave the Premier League didn't they 
When they get a chance to look at the game again they may think fair enough 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. On the other hand they may think we will buy him but I think he is too good for the championship or possibly league one
Granits interview on BBC website is excellent....'give our club some respect' amongst some other quotes....worth a look at.
There is one on this post saying it. Daft see you next Tuesdays! He is a strong physcial player which defenders don't like, the yellow was harsh ffs! Apart from the slight shove (which was **** all anyway) when their two players clashed I'm baffled what the **** they are on about!
Its the win we needed, but a poor game to watch , OaU
I know it was only against relegation fodder but O'Nien had a good game, solid at the back and quality passing.
