26/27 Pre-Season Predictions: Potential League Positions And Away Day Excitement

Anth Gair says… Hark back to the era where teams ‘gelling’ was a thing. This can only be good news for us as a side, as this will be their first pre-season together. I know, it’s not always as straightforward as that, but I’m holding out hope that some of the young lads will kick […]

On This Day (18th Aug 2001): Sunderland Start in Style vs Ipswich – But It Was a False Dawn

August 18, 2001, saw Sunderland kick off their Premier League campaign in style with a 1-0 victory at home to Ipswich Town.

With both clubs finishing the previous season in mid-table and level on the same number of points, Derby County and Sunderland’s 1951/1952 opener seemed like it could be an intriguing affair between two evenly matched sides.

What Next For Abdoullah Ba, The Last Of Sunderland’s ‘Teens In Jeans’?

It was August 19, 2022, a sultry summer’s evening on the banks of the Wear, and there was an air of intrigue as we trooped to the Stadium of Light to witness what we all hoped would be a comfortable home victory over perennial Championship strugglers Rotherham United. Despite a good start to the season […]

On This Day (17th Aug 1976): Beard-Gate — When Roy Greenwood Fell Foul of Bob Stokoe

It’s fair to say Bob Stokoe had an immediate impact when he arrived on Wearside in December 1972. Within nine months, the former Newcastle United player had claimed the FA Cup for Sunderland and navigated our first-ever game in a European competition – not a bad start. But we’d been out of the top flight […]
