BARDO ON SAFC SO FAR

Former Sunderland defender Phil Bardsley shared his thoughts on how Sunderland need to adapt to the demands of European football, how he enjoys watching Brian Brobbey play and why both North East teams are strugging at the minute. Phil spoke to us via Compare.bet. NORTH EAST TEAMS "Looking at it from Newcastle's point of view, there's been a lot of change up there also. They've lost personnel and key players, but the team looks settled under the new manager despite a tough result against...

OTD: STERN JOHN BORN

Born on this day in 1976, in Tunapuna, Trinidad and Tobago, is former Sunderland striker and promotion winner Stern John. With David Connolly and Daryl Murphy up front, manager Roy Keane believed that the one thing we needed to get promoted in 2007 was a bit of power up front: “We’ve lacked a bit of physical presence, especially since the departure of Chris Brown to Norwich City. And Stern John would give us that extra option again. He’s a big, strong, powerful guy and while you don’t want to...

OTD: MILTON NUNEZ BORN

On this day in 1972, former Sunderland striker Milton Nunez was born in Sambo Creek, Honduras. He is widely regarded as one of our strangest ever signings. Nunez was playing in Greece in 2000 and, supposedly, Peter Reid wanted to sign him after watching a few scouting videos. Back then the quality of video was extremely grainy and it is rumoured that Reidy got the players mixed up and bought the wrong man. Looking back at the transfer, Nunez said: “I asked the Sunderland coach, "and why did...

COVENTRY PREVIEW

With Sunderland and Coventry being in the bottom two places of the Premier League, this weekend's game is sure to be a battle as they struggle to get out of the relegation zone. But who wants it more? Despite being one of the original teams in the Premier League, Coventry City were absent from the league for 25 years and it was only last season that they returned. It has not been an easy start for Coventry so far: although their game against Newcastle resulted in a win with a remarkable four...

SOBS V BEES

The Lads welcomed the Busy Bees of west London to town on a chilly autumnal evening and came out 3-2 winners after a match that was the epitome of a game of two halves. Our shadow squad looked to be cruising after popping in three in 13 minutes in the middle of the first half, but then got a bit sloppy and let one in three minutes after the third. We didn't get to grips with the second half as we had the first, but, despite an added time second for the visitors, deserved the win. Despite the...

OTD: BOBBY GURNEY HAT-TRICK

On this day in 1932, Bobby Gurney scored four goals as Sunderland beat Bolton Wanderers 7-4 in the First Division. Gurney first signed for Sunderland in 1924, as a youth player from Bishop Auckland, after catching the eye of another Sunderland legend of the day, Charlie Buchan. Local lad Bobby would establish himself in the Sunderland professional squad towards the back end of the 1920s, playing all three of the forward positions, although his natural place was in the centre. As the...

OTD: NED DOIG BORN

Born on this day all the way back in 1866 was former Sunderland goalkeeper Ned Doig. The Scottish shot-stopper made over 400 appearances for the Lads between 1890 and 1904 and was famous for his cap that disguised his baldness! Initially Doig came to England when he signed for Blackburn Rovers from Arbroath. However, after just one game he had a disagreement with Rovers and returned to Scotland. He then signed for Sunderland in 1890 but the club were fined for giving Doig his debut. As he...

PLAYER RATINGS: BRENTFORD (LC)

Sunderland are through to the quarter finals of the League Cup after beating Brentford 3-2 at the Stadium of Light. Chemsdine Talbi gave the Lads the lead inside half an hour, before Timur Tuterov doubled the advantage just two minutes later. The third came from Malick Fofana, his first goal for the club, and late goals in both halves weren’t enough for the away side to rescue a penalty shootout. MELKER ELLBORG: 7/10 He was doing really well until right at the death when he caused a goal....

BRENTFORD MATCH REPORT

After three winless games in all competitions, Sunderland defeated Brentford to progress to the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup. Three first half goals within 10 minutes of each other saw Sunderland in front, with Chemsdine Talbi, Timur Tutierov and Malick Fofana getting on the scoresheet. Just before half time, a Callum Wilson strike gave Brentford hope of a comeback but even with an Igor Thiago header in added time, Sunderland were able to hold on to see their name in the quarter final...

LFL: BRENTFORD (CUP)

I really enjoyed this game and we won it with a devastating fifteen-minute spell in the first-half. Brentford made it very competitive and brought on five first choice players later on but we held on to get through to the next round and send the crowd of over 24,000 home happy. BEFORE I know that some of us don't hold this competition in high regard but I think it's worth winning and I'll be at the game hoping for a win and further progress. I like the sound of a quarter-final. By the way, my...

BRENTFORD CUP PREVIEW

It’s another midweek date for the Lads and this time they swap the Premier League for the Carabao Cup. We’re in the Fourth Round which means we’re just four matches away from a Wembley date. The last time we reached this stage was in 2021-22 when we faced Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road and won on penalties to set up a meeting with Arsenal. Tonight we face their West London neighbours Brentford in an all Premier League clash. LAST MEETING You have to go back to the first ever season of the...

OTD: BRIAN CLOUGH HAT-TRICK

On this day in 1961, Brian Clough scored a hat-trick as Sunderland beat Plymouth Argyle 5-0 in the Second Division. Clough started his career at his hometown club, Middlesbrough. The Englishman must have gotten sick of celebrating after how many times he put the ball in the back of the net. He scored goals for fun whilst at Boro, averaging a goal almost every game with a staggering 204 in 222 appearances. He was never short of confidence and why should he have been? Everything he touched...

RIGG HITS 100

Sunderland's 0-0 draw with Leeds marked Chris Rigg’s 100th appearance for the club, making him the youngest player ever to reach 100 first-team appearances at just 19 years of age. It feels even more special given that he’s an academy graduate who has come such a long way since being given his debut at just 15. To see just how far he’s come and the importance he now holds within the team makes this milestone all more impressive. Rigg’s journey began in the FA Cup third round against...

OTD: SAFC 2-1 MAGS

On this day in 2013, Sunderland beat Newcastle United 2-1 with goals from Steven Fletcher and Fabio Borini. A wonder strike from the then loanee Borini completed what would be the second win in the legendary six in a row over the Magpies. This win over Newcastle would help Gus Poyet’s side finally ascend up the Premier League from 20th for the first time that season and helped Gus turn around the fortunes of the team in the attempt to pull off a “miracle”. Sunderland got their head in the...

MISSING PIECE?

Sir Alex Ferguson was once asked what his greatest strength was as a football manager. He said he knew what he wasn’t very good at and got people to help him who were better at it. This should be the goal of every director of football and football manager at every level of the game. It is, I suspect, where Sunderland are currently going wrong. First let me say I think Regis is the right man for the job. It would be ridiculous to say anything else after the last two-and-a-bit seasons. I also...
