I know I run the risk of being shot down by our "friends" up the road but isn't it a great time to be a Mackem? Top dogs in the North-East ( the table didn't lie), top players on their way to join the Red and White Revolution, and the country's top supporters (it's official) enjoying every day until we kick a ball in anger again. Enjoy the summer lads. PS so quiet up the road isn't it?
Been worse times, been buzing all day on here, Seb and Westwood official tomorrow, O'Shea next week (probably). All we need now is Wellbeck on loan anda left footed player (LB or LM, not fussed which) for balance, and we can genuinely expect a push for top 8 at least. Great times.
I keep saying it's not quiet... They just don't speak French so can't understand the noise! But yes, a good time for Sunderland which looks like it's only going to get better.
Well done to your young keeper Jordan Pickford!! Just saved two penalties in the penalty shootout to give England the victory over Argentina in the U17's world cup in case you didn't catch it. Great saves too!
No worries! They are showing a replay of the match on Eurosport now in case anybody was looking for it.
