Sunderland boss Poyet knows he's lucky to still be in job

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet admits he's fortunate to still be in the job after their 8-0 thrashing at Southampton.

Sunderland face Arsenal at the Stadium of Light on Saturday with Poyet still in charge despite equalling a club-record loss at Southampton last weekend.

Poyet said: "I've seen it in the past. I have seen other teams lose 8-0 and nothing happens, and the manager is still managing and the players are still playing.

"Everybody moves on, which is fine. But I can tell you, that it is only here."
