always had a soft spot for the Mackems, lived in Durham for 17 years and used to get father and son tickets for the Stadium of Light for £20 total.

Best game was vs Scum when Keane got sent off because MaCateer kept pestering him around his autobiography. Jan Arge Fjortoft scored the equalizer, happy days

I like Sunderland, but that’s nonsense and always has been.

Clubs like those deserve to be where they are through a series of failures that have run through numerous levels of the clubs. Their fans maybe don’t deserve it, but just because a club has a larger fan base due to their city size/past success, doesn’t mean they are more deserving to climb the leagues than the likes of the Burton’s, Lincoln’s, Wycombe's of the footballing pyramid.
 
Am reading that Doyle absolutely pocketed Akinfenwa today. Different from his other matches, it was a much more physical performance from him but he was part of another clean sheet.

Considering Akinfenwa is obviously a big bastard but also that he's highly experienced so knows all the little tricks to unsettle a 17 year centre back, this is promising news.

I think they let one in, so a win but not a clean sheet.

There are a couple of reports that,while not criticising him,do not shower quite as much praise either.
 
Cracking window (on paper) for the first time for us in many a year.

It looks like the new owner & the new data based recruitment team have worked reLlg hard & actually put some real thought into what we want to do and how we want to play.

Johnson has spoke about how he would like us to play from the back and with a high press, we simply couldn’t last year as the squad was filled with immobile, over the hill journeymen.

Players in :-

Hoffman, Goalkeeper from Bayern Munich
Cirkin, Left Back from Tottenham
Huggins, Right Back from Leeds
Alves, Centre Back from West Ham
Doyle, Centre Back from you lot
Evans, Central Midfielder from Blackburn
Pritchard, Attacking Mid on a free
Broadhead, Striker from Everton
Dajaku, Winger from Bayern Munich

We have also got rid of a lot of deadwood including Will Grigg.

A few to watch, Dan Neil and Elliot Embleton have both started the season on fire and are from our academy.

Ross Stewart upfront signed in January last year but was injured, He’s 10x the player Charlie Wyke is and has scored 4 so far already.

Lets hope this is the beginning of the resurgence back to the Premiership.
