Gus Shocked as Bradford beat Sunderland
Bradford shock Sunderland
Sky Bet League 1 side Bradford claimed another Barclays Premier League scalp as they beat Sunderland 2-0 to book their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 39 years amid uproarious scenes at Valley Parade on Sunday. Billy Clarke's deflected third-minute effort - which went down as a John O'Shea own goal - and a cool 61st-minute finish from Jon Stead saw the Bantams build on their stunning fourth-round win over Chelsea by dispatching Gus Poyet's Sunderland with embarrassing ease. From Clarke's effort on, the underdogs seized control of the game in front of a sell-out crowd of over 24,000 and heaped more woe on a Black Cats side already reeling from Tuesday night's dismal top-flight loss to QPR. _____________________________________ Olivier Giroud struck twice as FA Cup holders Arsenal beat Middlesbrough 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium to book their place in the quarter-finals. The Gunners avoided going the same way as Manchester City had in round four against the Sky Bet Championship promotion-chasers with two first-half goals from the France forward in the space of as many minutes. Giroud - out for three months earlier in the season with a broken fibula - blasted the ball past Boro keeper Tomas Mejias from close range on 27 minutes and before the visitors could recover, the forward sweetly volleyed home a corner. New Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood saw his side edge into the quarter finals with a 2-1 win over Leicester at Villa Park. Sherwood had a watching brief but after a goalless opening 45 minutes, his half-time team-talk seemed to galvanise Villa and goals from Leandro Bacuna and Scott Sinclair settled a scrappy game. Andrej Kramaric netted an injury-time consolation for the Foxes but they could not force a replay.

I doubt it will be long before Poyet is on his way out...
Another manager with NO ambition.... Doesnt play Defoe (their only goal scorer) as he says the pitch is to bad to risk him. I bet Big Sam's has had a chuckle over that one ...he's off the hook now.....

No big Sam's not off the hook, the fans don't want him or his arrogant style ..
My feeling is he'll be gone at the end of the season, to many excuses in defeat
