Exclusive: Sullivan hails “AMAZING” victory

|

DavidSullivan306David Sullivan has hailed the team’s magnificent performance as the Irons played, battled and scrapped their way past the league leaders.

Slaven Bilic’s men now sit proudly in second spot behind them after three of the most incredible away victories in the club’s history.

The size of this extraordinary achievement cannot be overstated with the manager’s ” we parked the bus but hand the handbrake off” now right up there in the gallery of great all time footballing quotes.

The co chairman – speaking exclusively to ClaretandHugh for the first time after the brilliant victory – was unsurprisingly in exuberant mood.

To put things in their proper perspective we are 11 places above Chelsea and have collected five points more than Jose Mourinho’s outfit.

And Sullivan said: “It was an AMAZING victory. Remember Man City hadn’t conceded a goal in the league this season and we  scored TWO!

“If you score over two goals a game, you are going to win a lot of games and we are now the highest scorers in the league with Leicester City.

“However, I’m a realist and in contrast to the Liverpool and Arsenal -whom we beat well – we needed a bit of luck but it remains an AMAZING win.

“There were 14 passes for the first goal – WE ARE BACK TO PLAYING THE WEST HAM WAY !”

    All the negative comments from Sam, how bitter he sounds, Slaven Bilic has brought the players together, yesterday they all gave everything for him, Mark Noble though so many doubted him was again a superb leader, every player gave his heart and soul, football can be easy, you score goals and you defend we did both, and City didn’t. Perhaps Slaven was not the first choice with the owners? but Fans wanted him and he is showing what he can deliver so far, we need to get fully behind him!

    Yes thanks for not buying that god awful wilfreid bony David. We Dodged a bullet there. And thanks for bringing in super Slav and not that awful Spanish waiter or that boring jock or that other mad geezer.

      I dont think Bonys been that bad, Swansea got him for £12m and moved him along for £28m in just about 2 years. They got £16m profit & 2 great seasons of football out of him thats a hell of a bullet to dodge.

  • The Demon says:

    *cups ear* Sorry Sam, what was that you said? No one can can tell what the West Ham Way is? I think I know a certain Croatian who could waste his time explaining, but it’s probably easier just to watch Match of the Day when you’re not invited on as a novelty sniper.

  • Dainon says:

    You hired the right guy and invested in the squad.. well done sir
