Sunderland

I like it when we beat teams that I don’t like. Especially Bolton, as I have said many times before I don’t understand why they exist. 4-0. Sunderland. Just as usual, I don’t care about any other scorers other than us. Frazier Campbell got the first goal, and then Darren Bent went crazy and got [...]

Sunderland are the latest team to be linked with a swoop for Jamie O’Hara in the summer, should they win their battle to survive relegation this season.
O’Hara has impressed on loan at Portsmouth this season, although a permanent move looks unlikely as the South Coast outfit seemed doomed for the drop.
Newcastle have also been credited [...]

Cool Celtic programme covers.

Stop the presses (I’ve actually wanted to run into a printing house and say that). Sunderland has taken a point off of someone in the EPL. I know, it’s weird for me to write a blog after so long about a freaking point. Maybe just maybe Steve Bruce isn’t the manager we need. A 0-0 [...]

YAY! We lost again, 2-0 to the Gunners. It’s great!!!!! Sunderland has captured my heart, all the losing is making me a happy man. Why look for points when you can stop trying and punch above your weight! Why try for winning against teams that are playing poorly when you can lose and provide [...]

Barcelona play the same style of football that our beloved Arsenal plays. They attack, attack and attack, just like we do. But they are sitting on a pile of trophies and we are sitting on our arse for half a decade. What is the reason behind this unfortunate disparity.

SAFC TV Steve Bruce Interview

“Arsenal are a fantastic team with a wonderful stadium and support,” he said. “Let’s be fair; they’re not just one of the biggest clubs in England, they’re one of the biggest clubs in Europe.
“To go there and get something is always a great achievement if you can do it. Can we [...]

I figured on this day of eating lots of chocolate and watching football, I could update the many fans of Sunderland about some of the quotes happening at the club this week.

“They scored a wonder goal with their first shot on target and that set everyone on their heels. The second half was much, much [...]

1-1 to a team that is going to be liquidated, ugh. This season is getting so frustrating. It’s hard to be a fan when a team is going this bad normally. I’m not jumping off the bandwagon, because I’m white and I can’t jump. Yeah I know that’s a lame joke, but I take them [...]

Thats is the question that we should be asking ourselves after yesterdays preformance. Yet again we showed how well we can play and not win a game, something we have done far too often this season. Coming out in one half looking great, and in the second avergae, is something we must try to avoid. We now sit 15th only three points of the religation zone, a win would have taken us to 12th, see how tight it is. We now must look to other games for the win, beating teams around us is a priority

So Kenwyne scores and we get a point, not quite the three I wanted. But, it’s another point, and at some point you can’t fault the lads for getting that. It still should have been more than one point, but in the long run SAFC really has to look to the model of Wigan. They’ve [...]

Today’s game against Sunderland really is a must win. We are one point behind the north east club, but with a game in hand. Winning today would push us back up the table and out the way of the relegation zone. A win today could take us up to 10th if other results go our way, that’s how tight it is at the bottom this year. Last time out against Sunderland, it was one of our better games, we went on to win 1-0 a Rodallega header winning the game, after we dominated from start to finish. Lets hope we can do the same again today, against a faltering Sunderland side.

Sorry, I’m a little late on this one, but work has gotten in the way of play (not that I mind). But Steve Bruce signed a center half from Spurs. Hopefully this is the kick in the backside that the side needs to start winning. That’s the key “WINNING”.
A word from our new signing
“Everyone wants [...]

Just under eighteen months ago James Milner had signed for Aston Villa and was making his second debut for the club against Liverpool.
In the 18 months hes gone from warming up the bench to possibly the first name on Martin O’Neill’s teamsheet. The yorkshireman has made such a impact in his short time at Villa [...]

Stoke came in, and didn’t beat us, which is good to us. BUT it wasn’t a win, and Sunderland needs another win. Though, we need more points, I’ll take the one point right now. It’s a problem right now that I don’t see fixing which is sad. The Black Cat fans strive for a good [...]

Alan Hutton has spoken of his delight at joining Sunderland on loan for the rest of the season, as he just wants to play regularly.
Hutton made a bright start to his Tottenham career, being part of the Carling Cup winning side just four games after signing.
However, the form of Vedran Corluka this season has made [...]

Spurs striker Robbie Keane admitted he was fulfilling a long-standing ambition by moving to Celtic for the remainder of the season.

Just 12 months after ending a very brief and unhappy spell at Liverpool by returning to White Hart Lane, the Republic of Ireland international has now joined the club he supported as a boy which is odd cos i [...]

Steve Bruce is hopeful Benjani will be joining the club after Sunderland’s last-gasp move for the Manchester City striker.

I haven’t been able to find anything else to back this report out, so if anyone has anything please feel free to leave a comment.

UPDATE: The Times man in the North-East, George Caulkin, suggests on twitter that the paperwork to sign Benjani has been filed but was held up by ‘technical problems’ and the hope is that some leniency will be afforded.

Having got over the threat of the Sunderland £9M bid that never was I was surprised to see the Keane to Celtic rumour that emerged this afternoon. At 20:23 Sky announced that Robbie has agreed to join Celtic on loan until the end of the season. I had not appreciated that the Scottish window continued [...]
