    Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Saudi FC - Sunday 14th December 2025 - KO 14:00

    Sunderland fans - I sat down with the captain, Granit Xhaka this week for the Premier League - and he told me about a dream he had before the Wear-Tyne derby that came true!! “It’s the first time in my career I’ve ever had a cut. But before the game, I dreamt I’d be cut and would bleed in this...

    Frustrating as Fulham got in some decent positions. They were just slack with passes/decisions and didn’t look like they believed they could score.

    January Transfer Window 25/26

    Difficult not to get too excited by who we might be able to attract now. All bets are off after how the summer went. Wages will be a factor as we (rightly) have limits to work to. With how shrewd KLD and co are, they will be aware how the club didn’t strengthen at the right times during the 7th...

    <applause> Not only are we in this brilliant position, there is no caveat behind it like those up the road or Man City and their 115 charges. Just good, honest enjoyment.

    The it’s ok to not be ok thread

    The fact it's fairly quiet on here leads me to think everyone is either doing really well or a few of us are keeping stuff bottled up. I'm in a decent place at the minute. Been pretty up and down these last few months. When I'm having a bad day, thankfully I've been able to share it and that...
