It probably was a tougher match than Man Utd - difference since then is that Man Utd have spent over 150m on better players and are now a much stronger team than the one that drew against Sunderland.

They beat QPR. Ffs, QPR are toilet.

Sorry, not ranting at you, just fed up of the collective media erection at their first win of the fucking season.

Yeh so did we. You didn't notice the mass ejaculation after we beat qpr to go top? Man Utd are always a story with the media, it's just the way it is.

Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but at the end of the game when he went over to talk to Poch, it was almost as if he acknowledged just how lucky they were to have drawn with us. Poch looked like he knew it and knew that our lack of goals is what cost us.

Bottom line is I think we can to an extent agree with Poyet. LVG, for all his skill as a coach, doesn't know the premier league. Declaring that his team has set its sights on winning the league after beating QPR just illustrates that. An expensively assembled squad can only compensate for inadequacies for so long.

Might be too soon to say, but looking at the way we play, we can definitely be more productive. We just need to find that right gear and maybe make an addition or two up front if we can in January.

I watched both games United were terrible Sunderland out played them, we should have scored a lot more and we're unlucky to draw. We hit the wood work twice as we'll :( I thought eriksen played a lot better than he got credit for he did move the ball forwards quickly and added speed in to our attacks, him and Lemela are starting to look very good. We looked very positive in our play completely opposite to Avb no side ways backward passing just to keep the ball.
