Sunderland boss Gus Poyet claims the media has turned the fans against him after their FA Cup defeat at Bradford City. By the end they were singing 'Gus Poyet, it's always our fault' and booed the players off at full-time.
"The problem is you [the media], not me," said Poyet. "If you write what I say, the fans will be on my side.
"But because you write what you want, then we have a problem."
And when asked if he was worried about the ill-feeling in the stands, Poyet added: "I'm not going to get involved any more.
"I am doing my job, I know what is good for the team, my players give everything.
"If we close Sunderland and put a Chinese Wall around the city then it would be fantastic.
"Now, when we let you get in and you go out and say what you want then we have a problem between ourselves.
"So I would like to invite every Sunderland fan and people who care about the club not to listen to any of you, only to me and between ourselves."
