Gus is, are you. [video=youtube;XfuBREMXxts]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfuBREMXxts[/video] GUS Poyet will head back to his former club Chelsea tomorrow with renewed belief that Sunderland might just pull off the impossible dream and survive this season. A run of five successive defeats had dumped Sunderland to the bottom of the Barclays Premier League and left them cut adrift from safety. But a fine performance and an unlucky defeat to Everton last weekend, followed by a fine performance and an unlucky draw against Manchester City, has lifted the mood in the camp. In the wake of the 2-2 midweek result at the Etihad, which all but knocked City out of the title race, Poyet revealed: “The belief is back in the dressing room, so I’m really looking forward to Saturday and Chelsea – it’s a very, very important game to us. “We came through the City game so well and got incredibly close to taking all three points. “Conceding a goal so early in the game was a test for us – it was a moment to reflect upon the reactions of our players afterwards – but the way they reacted was great. “I’m sure if I had been commentating on the game and saw Sunderland concede a goal after two minutes, I would have expected four, five or six – but I would have been wrong. “At half-time, we were all asking how are we not winning this game? “And that was pleasing because you are bottom-of-the-table Sunderland up against title-chasing Manchester City at the Etihad and you are 1-0 down, but the players are angry not to be winning because we didn’t make the most of the best three chances we’ve created in weeks!” The point taken from the Etihad slightly improved Sunderland’s position at the foot of table. They are now three points behind second-bottom Cardiff and six adrift of fourth-bottom Norwich City, with a game in hand on both. But the fixtures are running out and Poyet knows that it will still take something of a miracle to save Sunderland this season. “I don’t know if it is too little too late,” he said. “But I’m going to try. “I think we have to win at least three games and hope for other results to go our way. “But we can only look to the next game. “We played an excellent game against Manchester City and almost got the win, so let’s try to put in another good effort against Chelsea. “Why can’t we do well again? I think the players have taken great heart from our last two performances.” It is bound to be an emotional return to Stamford Bridge for Poyet, who is still idolised by Blues fans. He scored 36 goals in 105 games for the Londoners between 1997-2001 and still has a deep attachment to his former club, but all he cares about this weekend is seeing Sunderland maintain their recent improvement. “For me? I want to see the team play,” he said. “You can lose there – teams go there and lose five or six-nil – as they do at Man City. “But we did not lose at City. “And I remember, people said at the cup final that it would be nice for Sunderland to go there and not concede too many goals, but instead we went out and took the lead and were only beaten by two wonder goals. “We are a team that believes in what we do and when it comes together on the pitch and everyone connects, we are a decent team. “I know our league position doesn’t suggest that, but, on our day, we can be.” ..............................................

If we win or last 3 home games I believe we'll stay up. But then again... If my aunty had balls.......... I wish I could see us staying up. Simply wish I hadn't seen it all before. I'm going into the last 5 expecting nothing so if we get out of jail, superb
Com, it should have been this one.... [video=youtube;nU615FaODCg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU615FaODCg[/video]
I believe brother, but then again, I believe I'm going to win the Euro Millions tonight as well. As has been said, we win the 3 home games and we have a slim chance, to do that we would have to perform like we did against City in every game. I doubt we have that in our locker.
My head says we can still survive mathematically but my heart.........has been bruised too many times
it's all good and well talking about the city performance, we always perform against city. im more worried about the cardiff, west brom and swansea games. we have been piss poor at home all season and need to replacate that form and commitment in games where it really matters. we have struggled with the teams around us so we really need to turn in performances in those three games. to be honest though we havent turned in a good run of games all season so im not holding out much hope. looks like it will be the start if the next 5 year plan or magic carpet ride
I refuse to believe we're down until it mathematical. Think it could go down to **** ya Pants Sunday.
i think its the best we can hope for. we havent got the hardest run in on paper but the lads need to pull thier fingers out and do the business
Aye, from a spoon. If I videoed it I could email it to you. Actually once went down on a bird after I'd shagged her & it's not really that bad. Bit salty like, bit like gammon.
Drink, surely? Now I'd like to see that! Not in a gay way or anything. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Oh God....
