    Incredible that. No other word for it, this group are ****ing class. To go behind (again) down and not only bring it back but take the points down there. Quality.

    Regis is going to have a sore head trying to figure out who he’s starting next week.

    I was wondering, have we ever had a more tactically aware coach? And one who had the Zen calm to act on his knowledge?

    It's something to watch us now, adjusting to games and getting on top , often with the same people on the pitch.

    I must say, for me it's a bit of an education.

    Does Bobby Saxton's words of "Just f*cking get into them" not count? <laugh>

    Everyone knows their role, they under stand the simple things.
    Something that has been missing for a while,
    We have a proper squad full of positive characters. A mix of youth and exp.
    Teams will start to take us seriously

    Those were the days mind!.

    Bobby Saxton was a true gift to the English language. A man who could get off a fifteen word sentence with twelve swear words in it!

    Knew he was good, but wow:


    Talismanic Xhaka leads the way

    Of Sunderland's summer recruits, none has been more influential than Granit Xhaka.

    The former Arsenal captain raised eyebrows when he decided to leave Bayer Leverkusen for the north east in the summer.

    There were even question marks whether the 33-year-old could still cut it in the Premier League, having left for Germany in 2023.

    But he has confounded the critics in spectacular style.

    The Swiss ranks first for assists (three), chances created (11), successful passes (397), passes into the box (49), touches (629), duels won (56) and possession won (43).
