Really looking forward to this game as if it were the opening fixture of a new season. Poyet in at last after the opening few weeks of madness and he seems really settled into the role. Looking forward to seeing if he tries something new or just wants to have a look at how our last 2 good performances continue. Whatever team he picks I just want to see them enjoying the game once more and get stuck in. The players owe us and the club a win and although Swansea are no pushovers we did come within a whisker of beating them last season down there and we should now be playing with some freedom and release. Come on Sunderland and go Poyets red & white army.
Me anarl mate. Season starts here for us, no excuses. A point would be a good result as it's a very tough game on paper, but results aside, we need a really good performance on the pitch to take into the Derby. I think we can take 3 points here.
i'll be glued to the laptop at 3pm, might even wear my full strip, shinpads, boots, captains armband the lot
Hard game for us . if we win then our season will pick up nicely after a tough set of fixtures but if we lose then it will be a long hard season for the Swans . Poyet will take a few games to get you up to speed but no doubt the new manager bounce will have an effect on performance at the Liberty. I think the last few games sunderland have done well,there seemed to be plenty of fight in the players, I think you will do well with poyet . Good luck after our game on the weekend
Potent has won all 1st games as manager or assistant, Swindon, Leeds, Spuds and Brighton. 5/1 to win with sky bet got to be worth a few quid
Betting is up on the OP, lot of money going on the lads. Swansea favorites as you'd expect but 54.10% of the money is going on the lads at the time of posting.
