Bit of balance on the MOTD analysis. Shearer said he didn’t want to do it and for the neutral it makes sense. Who’s better to analyse Sunderland than an ex manager who beat us last season or an utter disaster of a caretaker manager who get humped by us what must be a decade ago? Seeing Shearer have to say good things would be an utter delight but I can wait for next week when we take another 3 points off Burnley.
Oddschecker The second most backed Premier League bet placed in the last 24 hours is Sunderland to stay up (6/5).
We were all supposed to be terrified of Bowen and which defenders he'd annihilate. Turns out we had more attempts on goal and Diarra had the best of those missed. In reality Bowen's attempt on goal was never going in but Isidor's header, that Roefs brilliantly turned over, was flying. Other than that a clearance by Ballard was about all they could manage ... ... if Sunderland really have problems up front, as is claimed, I'd say West Ham have a crisis. But, it was our midfield that won the game and that's the reason we'll stay up.
