This was the first time Sunderland have ever come from 2+ goals down to win a Premier League game, with this the 188th time they have trailed by 2+ goals in a game in the competition (D10 L177). This time feels different.

Thomas Frank said Tottenham’s defeat to Chelsea “hurts massively”. But the hurt was magnified by public displays of dissent by players and fans. It is getting difficult to ignore the parallels between Frank and the ill-fated tenure of Nuno Espirito Santo.

beta experience has markedly improved with the three hot fixes this week. UI is still an adjustment and will need tinkering over the next few game cycles. The 3D visuals and in and out of possession tactics are massive wins!

The noise at the Stadium of Light was immense as I heard it on the broadcast. The supporters have a huge role this year in getting the Lads over the line, and those in attendance today did more than their part.

This morning, a long-ish read on Sheffield Wednesday. Feels like no-one's... doing anything about a situation that is getting much worse on a near daily basis.

Sheffield Wednesday are decaying, and no-one is doing a thing to prevent it
They're supposed to be celebrating their 160th anniversary, but instead a club from the home of football is on the brink and the silence is deafening.

Lots of storylines with

playoff campaign. One I will fondly remember is that the earliest of the five goals we scored came in the 68th minute. Highlights energy levels and (more importantly) a never-say-die attitude that speaks volumes about the character of the players and staff.

Sunderland rebooted: a different club to the one that collapsed from the Premier League into League One. Evolution based on youth and prudence. Mistakes made, but new ownership has got more right than wrong. 90 minutes from PL return.

Eliezer Mayenda turned 20 yesterday and his late winner gave Sunderland a 2-1 win over Coventry City today. The youngster has lived in three countries, played in four leagues, speaks five languages and has been key to this season's promotion drive. 🔗

What’s in a name? Most of our club nicknames find roots in their colours, the industry they came from or local folklore. Sunderland however, whose moniker ‘The Black Cats’, is shrouded in mystery. Read here 👇

I remember campaigners saying a few years ago they struggled to get players involved as they would be worried about the response they’d get from the crowds. Great to see two young players like Dan Neil and Jobe modelling the new kit promoting diversity. Sport should be for everybody

Maybe a handball was the call for Wilson's disallowed goal? Based on how long it took to chalk it off, I'm baffled as to what changed the referee's mind.

controlled the ball both halves and pressed well on the whole. Just didn't create enough clear-cut chances to nick it nor did we take advantage of seemingly endless set pieces.

Results alone do not seem to merit Cooper's sacking. Wonder if Leicester had someone waiting in the wings. Otherwise, the decision does not make much sense.

TV punditry has never been more prolific, high-profile — and divisive. But what’s expected of analysts when fans have never been more informed? In the first of a three-part series, Tim Spiers examines punditry in 2024. Is it really better than it used to be?
