t’s not always been usual for us to apply the words resolute, determined and committed to West Ham but all that and more was in evidence this afternoon. No, of course it wasn’t a great performance – we were off our game but I honestly didn’t feel at any time we were likely to be […]

Sam Allardyce returned to Upton Park looking to prove a point but, despite a series of second-half chances, Sunderland could not come away with one. This was a low-key affair, bereft of the fire and brimstone the former West Ham manager might have enjoyed, and it was a moment of slackness from his defence that helped win the game for an under-par home side.
