Well, it was point

0,,10281~7544019,00 Ok, so I was off on my prediction, of course if you have been reading my blogs, you know I suck at predicting things. (don’t get me started on picking the Super Bowl). But I did have us getting two goals. Just didn’t pick the right scorers, this time it was Andy Reid, and Kieran Richardson.

I do think that, this is a good draw for the club. West Ham has been in the EPL for a while, and to get a point off of them is a good thing. It would have been better to win against Aston Villa at mid-week, but I’m still mad about that match. Overall, this is a step up.

Words from an SAFC Player young middie Jordan Henderson.

“I thought the whole team worked very hard. We looked the better team even with ten men and showed good character to come back from 2-0 down.

“In the end we probably should have won the game but the lads can take positives from today and kick on from here.

“The gaffer told us at half time to keep going, keep working hard and doing what we’d been doing. We did that, the crowd got right behind us – they were brilliant – and it was a good performance.

“Reidy got us back in it with a great free kick – he does it all the time in training. It was a brilliant goal which picked us and the crowd up from there.

“I felt we were always strong and going to get something from the game – I had a couple of chances but we did well at the end of the day.”

Next up for Sunderland – Spurs on the 7th.
