FOUR YEARS AGO, TODAY! Cheltenham 2 - 1 Sunderland Att: 5744 EV Charger Points Stadium Whatever the result today, take a moment to remember those dark days of where we were four years ago in 2022. What a journey. #hawaythelads #safc #ARSSUN

To all the #safc doom mongers… we’re 6th in the premier league at Christmas FFS (above them up the road) . Think back to 3pm on May 24th this year, and if someone asked you if you’d be happy with that… get a grip! Enjoy it. I’m still taking 17th! Merry Christmas mackems, some year. #hawaythelads

𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐅𝐂𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 Sunderland's survival blueprint is working well. But they will lose twice as many players to the Africa Cup of Nations as any other Premier League team. It promises to test Régis Le Bris and his squad. theanalyst.com/articles/sun...

Low Blocks, Long Balls and Belief: Sunderland’s Survival Blueprint Is Working But AFCON Absences Will Test Them | Opta Analyst

Sunderland have been the surprise package of the 2025-26 Premier League season, but AFCON-enforced absences will test them over the next month.

Losing one nil via a keeper howler to a team in the bottom three - while being denied an obvious pen - was always going to be how we lost our unbeaten home record. So Sunderland it’s practically eating a pink slice. #SAFC

Said it a lot recently, but there's a really good feeling around #SAFC at the moment. Fans and players' connection seems as strong as it did during the Quinn/SKP days, and you feel we can beat anybody, but if we don't, it won't be for lack of effort. Loving it.
