Sunday’s 3-1 defeat to West Ham was the third in a row for Sunderland, and they haven’t won since defeating Reading over a month ago. On Saturday they will take on Fulham, and thankfully the match will not be played in London, where the Black Cats have not won a top-flight game in over [...]

“That’s the reality of the Premier League and you have to deal with it. This is probably the best we have played away from home but we have no points. I’m not here to welcome the plaudits, I’m here to win football matches.” – Roy Keane
Roy I cannot agree with you more. Sunderland [...]

Things I’d like to see happen today at Upton Park:
Sunderland come away with road points. That’s points with an “S”.
Michael Chopra gets back in the scoresheet (been a few weeks, hasn’t it?).
Craig Gordon keeps a clean sheet (only shutout thus far is vs Spurs week one).
A good game
OK I’m off to the pub for [...]

This is a picture (courtesy BBC) of players losing their tempers (at Boro a couple weeks ago). Tsk, tsk, boys, this is no way for grown men to behave. Professional athletes are supposed to be role models, right? Well apparently so, in this case. Last Sunday Evertonians and Geordies [...]

Sunderland have lost 3 of their last 5 league games. It’s fair to say that the Black Cats have played tough in these games, which were all by one goal, and which include late giveaways at Old Trafford and Emirates. It would be a bit of a sports cliché to call those games [...]

Defender Paul McShane’s crunching tackle on Alexander Hleb late in Sunderland’s 3-2 loss at Emirates last weekend led to a straight red and a three match ban; and the Irishman may be in hot water with his boss, too. Roy Keane intends to look at the video of the incident and determine if the [...]

These early games are a killer. Waking up at 4:00 AM on a Sunday just doesn’t do much for my jovial demeanor. So I decided to oversleep and wake up during the second half of today’s game, and what do I see? Well, well, well, seems SAFC are even up 2-2 at [...]

Rumors had it that Roy Keane wanted to get David Beckham on loan from the LA Galaxy. Those rumors are, predictably, nonsense.
Well, any excuse to put post of picture of Becks (you know, for the ladies) is good enough for me. I figure that should get my hit count up for the month, [...]
