Jules 0 Posted March 31, 2014 No doubt about it, tonights Sunderland v West Ham game is crucial to our survival. If the Hammers can get 3 points tonight I reckon Sunderland will be odds on to go down with Cardiff and Fulham. It''s true, our last four games are as hard as it gets, but Sunderland have also got a really tough run. Currently they''re 7 points behind us. Can they realistically catch us? A Hammers win tonight would severely dent their fragile confidence. And after being booed this weekend Big Sam is going to want to prove a point. Come on you Hammers!Sunderland run in:Tottenham awayEverton homeMan City awayChelsea awayCardiff homeMan U awayWest Brom homeSwansea home Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Barnes 20 Posted March 31, 2014 Totally agree but its not just sunderland we have to worry about .looking at cardiff they have a real chance of picking up 4 wins in their next 4 that would put them past us if we dont pick up 2 wins in our next 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jules 0 Posted March 31, 2014 Sunderland booed off at half time. Hammers seem to be in control. Long may it continue! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Schmil 0 Posted March 31, 2014 Half time 0-1. Sunderland having a go, but look vulnerable to a counter attack and Andy Carroll''s aerial ability. Boos at half time some of which may have been directed at Howard Webb for not giving a penalty for Handball against Nolan. Same again please in the second half West Ham.
