Sullivan: “The manager was proved right”

sullivan_5535cDavid Sullivan is never going to be a man to get carried away but his Emirates joy was clear for all to see as the Hammers scored their magical win over Arsenal this afternoon.

Manager Slaven Bilic master-minded the amazing win as the bookies’ 10/1 outsiders equalled Arsene Wenger’s team all over the pitch before crushing them with a well deserved win.

And after the events of last Thursday evening when the new boss had made the critical decision to play a shadow squad in Romania, the pressure was really on.

However, it all paid off in diamonds and the co chairman in an exclusive comment  to ClaretandHugh was extremely happy with what he had seen,

He told us: Its early days, but it’s a really fantastic win and I think it proves that the manager was fully justified in his team selection on Thursday.”

    This is the stepping stone to the future and it’s always easy to say I told you so,
    New start one group of supporters let the past go now
    Me included
    What a day to remember and it was not that they were bad it was that we were good and we can give anyone a game now,but we still need a couple of class players before that window shuts

      Bubs the Mirror reports Austin’s asking price has dropped to 13 million and the spuds are queuing up.Can we get one over the spuds for a change?

    He had to sit and watch the same shit we did, difference was he was paying the salary.

    To be honest I was fine with the 1st XI not going to Romania.
    It was the likes of Burke,Amalfitano and Samuelsen who if all had played we would be celebrating a even better week.
    Today’s performance was utter brilliance and should shove back all the shit the pundits have so far written about us.

    Sorry Sully but now is not the time for “we told you so”. We put in one hell of a shift today so lets just enjoy it.

    essex I was in your camp but I’m not ramming anything down anyone’s throat. It’s about time us supporters got together again as one instead off rehashing all that cr*p again. It’s over and it’s history. Today is a day to celebrate and move on. COYI

    One of the best things about today is to shove this result down the throats of all those ‘fans’ who kept telling me that we had no chance against Arsenal today.. all ready to jump on Bilic back for thursday’s result & today…

      Can’t except it mate, can they?, don’t forget these tarts get paid for predictions and U.S. ‘ammers are an easy target to get thrashed/relegated etc, etc, when they are wrong they have to find another target, on this occasion it was the GK who they predicted was going to make Arsenal unbeatable
