(Re)View of the Opposition - Sunderland UPDATED
The unbeaten away form of West Ham continues as they fight back from going two goals behind against a struggling Sunderland team.

Although we all went into the game wanting the 3 points and many even expecting it, a point away from home is rarely a bad outcome for a team in our position and so it proved this weekend.

Here are the thoughts of Peter who was kind enough to answer our (Re)View questions. We are still waiting on replies from Brian, I will update if/when we get them.




Firstly, you've read the response to your 'View From' article, would you like to respond to any of the comments?

Brian -

Peter - I think poor Brian got the brunt of the abuse, although Sloppy Giuseppe seems to have me summed up pretty well.



2-2 a fair result or not?

Brian -

Peter - I think if we had edged it 2-1 you couldn't have had many complaints after we were so dominant in the first half. I think the goal just before half time was your saviour as it would have made us nervous during the break and that showed in the second half. After the sending off it was always going to be an uphill battle and when you equalised I would have put my house on you going on to win it. So when I think of it like that i'm pleased with the point, just disappointed when I think of how I felt at 2-0.



Pick a man of the match for both teams?

Brian -

Peter - M'Vila for us with two excellent assists. I'd say Moses for you mainly for the picking out of Jenkinson for the goal which as I said think saved the game for you.




What was your thoughts on the Away fans?


Brian -

Peter - I think away fans in general at all clubs are better than home support. Not sure whether it's the new stadia, all seaters, ticket prices or what but home fans at all clubs are mostly quiet unless it's a special game. You are no different. You have only got one song though :-)



After seeing the game in the flesh, where do you think both teams will finish the season?

Brian -


Peter - West Ham 10th, Sunderland 17th


How do you feel about Advocaat leaving and who should you go and get?


Brian -

Peter - I like him and respect him but think it's right he went. Lack of funding was always going to cause him problems he didn't deserve. Would love to go all out and get Rodgers but i'm not deluded enough to think he would see us as an attractive proposition at the moment so we need to set out sights a bit lower. I read an article on Paul Lambert the other day and although he has had problems at his previous club, he hasn't become a bad manager over night and is at the level we could attract. Or maybe we wait a couple of weeks and get Jose.



What pleased you more, getting a point against the best away team in the land or Newcastle being thumped?


Brian -

Peter - Would say i'm pleased with the point against you Southern Shandy drinkers, but seeing the Zebras get humiliated always makes the weekends better.


Our thanks to Peter for answering both the 'View From' and the '(Re)View' questions.





UpDate:


Brian sent this message to me: My response to anyone found given abuse should be banned from all football grounds has it should not happen in England



Thanks again to Brian for answering the 'view from' questions

I just think this cyber bullying of poor Brian is totally unnecessary.

If you're reading this, Brian, I've got your back.

Re: (Re)View of the Opposition - Sunderland
Surely Brian is having a laugh when he suggests abusers should be banned from football. Does anyone seriously think he said that with welled up eyes and a chin wobbler?

Peter's al-reet, though.

Re: (Re)View of the Opposition - Sunderland
So because Brian got abuse on a football forum he wants them band from football grounds for life??

Do me a favor

Re: (Re)View of the Opposition - Sunderland
When I read the pre-game "View" I wondered whether the Oppo were encouraged to read the responses, and it occurred to me in this instance it was probably best that this was not the case.

The (black) cat seems to have got Brian's tongue.

Most of us on here take being able to take abuse on the chin for granted. Seems like he really took some of the things written about him by strangers to heart, for a grown man that's just odd.

No, it was more like 2 years.

And he started to shave
And had one off the wrist
And want to see girls
And go out and get pissed

A man called Brian
This man called Brian
The man they called Brian
This man called Brian

Re: (Re)View of the Opposition - Sunderland
I don't think Brian is going to reply. He got in touch before the game asking how he can reply on the thread. He seemed upset and commented this:

'My response to anyone found given abuse should be banned from all English football grounds has it should never happen in England'

Brian's typing has improved.

And he's still better than Norwich's finest from the week before.

Well Youth, not only have you successfully taken the reigns off Vinny, but also added a decent supplement.

10/10 for effort

"Southern Shandy Drinkers"?

Ourageous! I've never touched a drop in my like.

Only 100% pure lemonade for me.
