“For too long we’ve been sleeping giants. We’re not sleeping anymore.” Ahead of the first PL fixture of the season and our first @EuropaLeague adventure in 52 years, my esteemed colleague, @TheSharpeEnd spent the day at the Academy of Light (lucky bugger) #hawaythelads #safc

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

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.

Really feels like we’re limping towards the end. Players look shot. Not ideal with momentum needed for play offs. Too late to rest players ? Freshen it up?

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.

Signed up until 2026. they’ll be offering him another deal after that I’m sure. He’s only 18 so don’t think the move will suit him at the min.
