Sorry I’ve been so lax with this blog space recently. A combination of factors have kept me away (read: I’m lazy), but I’m back and promise to make more frequent posts featuring my dazzling and humorous analyses and insights.
Right now let’s start with the Luton vs SAFC League Cup match from Kenilworth [...]

I don’t know how much of a “live blog” post this will be, but I will try my best. I’ve been up all night volunteering for a relay race called Hood To Coast (I have a friend who runs in it), and for the past 5 hours I’ve been standing in a parking lot [...]

Ouch.
Today the boys had their hats handed to them 3-0 at Wigan. I don’t have much to say about the game. Why? Because I wasn’t able to watch it. Why? Because Fox Soccer Channel sucks. Instead of showing the replay of the Wigan:Sunderland match - which is what was [...]

When Che Keano signed Michael Chopra in July, most SAFC faithful probably dropped their pints and screamed bad words. I’m only a Sunderland fan for 2 or 3 years now, and I know I was surprised to hear that we’d picked up the guy who’d come up through the Newcastle system, a self-described Geordie [...]

Carlos Edwards is going to miss a month due to a hamstring injury he picked up during the midweek 2-2 draw at Birmingham City. “I must admit,” said Roy Keane, “I had a feeling he might pick up some kind of injury…. Three games in a week is demanding for all clubs at [...]

I don’t know much about Birmingham, other than that they went down with Sunderland two seasons ago, and came back up with them last time, finishing only 2 points behind the Cats at the top of the Championship table. After City’s performance at Stamford Bridge on Saturday - a game which they led early [...]

I’ve managed to get the game on a super secret innernets that I found here. Currently it’s halftime, scoreless. Spurs have the better of run of play thus far but no real great chances. Sunderland have had a couple including Murphy alone in the box but his touch was heavy and he [...]

It’s nearly midnight here on the US west coast and I’m going to catch a few hours of sleep before a full morning of football, starting at 4:45am. I’m planning to listen to the Sunderland match on Today FM; if anyone has a better suggestion (like free online video) please let me know.

Getting antsy waiting for the season to start? Me too. Antsy and bored.
And unless I can find someone (or some tavern) with Setanta sports willing to let me in at 4:30am, I won’t be able to watch the match vs Spurs on Saturday.
The Guardian blog has a decent (and decently optimistic) preview of [...]

Roy Keane has made his most expensive purchase of the offseason: at £9m, Scotland international and Heart of Midlothian goalkeeper Craig Gordon is now a Black Cat.
With the recent spate of big money acquisitions failing to materialize (most recently Wigan defender Leighton Baines just signed with Everton), the team continues to look to add one [...]
