Sunderland defence, back 4 plus keeper and Granit is as good as any team in the league. So comfortable and full of class all day. This team is everything we have been dreaming of during the many dark days. Such a solid foundation to continue building. Lets start looking up, Europe is a real possibility and If we qualify we will not look out of place. We are Sunderland, back to Stay!
 
I was stuck on a train back up from London (at a party with mostly Arsenal supporters) so only able to watch, but followed the commentary. What a brilliant result. If winning without scoring themselves is good enough for the gooners, we can better that by not conceding. I'm now looking forward to watching it back without the stress.
 
Has to be one of the sweetest moments of my Safc career. Supposedly little club down the road who would be destroyed by the” richest club in the world “ and they’ve been put in their place. And no one can say it was one of those one off freak results. No reason why we can’t do the double - 3-0 at their place again ? .


Another 6 in a row would be nice
 
Can't argue with the result, we created nothing all game. Aside from about 10 minutes after the goal (when you looked to be pushing for a 2nd) and the expected few minutes at the end (when we attempted to push for an equaliser) both teams looked more comfortable at the back but lacking some quality going forward.

ExG is a flawed measure but I think both teams having low figures 0.29 v 0.25 tells a story. It was a cagey affair which was presumably horrible for a neutral so the only thing that matters from such games is getting a good result over the line. You achieved that and we didn't so fair play. It wasn't unfair, unwarranted or unexpected so can't imagine anyone having any complaints at the end.

We move on, have a nice Christmas, I'm sure this will help!
