    That's an envelope? I thought it was a car in Liverpool after the wheels had been stolen.

    Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Aston Villa - Sunday 21st September 2025 - KO 14:00

    The way we got the draw will be a morale booster for the lads. To that extent its almost as good as a win.

    Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v West Ham - Saturday 16th August 2025 - KO 15:00

    Looking at Brentford losing reminds me of the days Henderson was in the mix for possible signings. I'd be surprised if anyone wishes it had happened given what we saw yesterday. I'm no expert like a lot of you here are, but it seems that anything Henderson could have done for us Granit can do...

    Smug: It's the Chelsea, Reds, Arsenal, Pep show. CRAP for short.

    Up until yesterday afternoon Burnley fans will have been thinking that Spurs will be tough but should get three points off us next game. Time for a rethink in Lancashire.

    That was a thing of beauty. And Burnley down 3-0.

    The where people live thread.

    Born in the same room in the same house as mum in 1957. God forbid it was the same bed. 19 Cleft Street, backing on to the old Hetton Colliery Railway. Cobbled street, outside toliet, the lot. Posh, you see. Street was knocked down long ago which is kind of sad. Close to Glebe Hotel, which I...

    Nice one RTB - thanks as ever. Anyone else looking at the possible team-sheet and finding it just a little bitter-sweet? So many of the lads who got us promoted over 49 games, leaving nothing but blood and sweat on pitches all over England are on the bench. It'll be strange to not see Neil...

    Off Topic Wimbledon

    Have a great time - and it should be a lot cooler than NC. Interesting coincidence I just came across - today Briton Arthur Fery (wild card) beat Alexei Popyrin (seeded 20) - Fery's father, who is French) is the president of Lorient. Fery's got the RLB and EFL gene. Maybe you'll get to see...

    Transfer Rumours The Sunderland Links/Transfer Rumours Thread - Summer 2025

    Never heard of W88 so I googled it - look what came up on wikipedia!

    Premier League of Sandwichstry

    Great thread. Some tasty ideas here (and maybe a few less so). Lots of variations on bacon, but I don't think there's a mention of a BLT yet. Don't know how easy it is to find the real deal in the UK, but warm freshly sliced pastrami on rye in a New York deli is an experience. No need to eat...

    Apparently none of us invited to Venice this week then.

    Off Topic WW3 How Close?

    The Democrats absolutely need to figure out why Trump got elected and get their act together, or Vance could be president until 2037. So far they don't seem to have come up with much, while the Republicans clearly learned lessons from the first Trump administration and are sticking to the...

    Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Sheffield United – Championship Play-off Final - Saturday 24th May 2025 - KO 15:00

    Much as I like re-watching our goals and the celebrations on the pitch and in the stands, I’m now watching them to see the Sheffield players reactions to Watson’s (and Ballard’s) goal. Hands on hips, falling to knees, head in hands, looking to the heavens in disbelief, shaking heads looking to...
