Social media was abuzz this weekend with a video depicting a baby-faced Sunderland fan sitting alongside his fellow supporters at the Stadium of Light, taking in the day’s match while also appearing to take a pleasant shit right there on his seat. The kid, later revealed to be 17-year-old Callum Mawson, has since come…
Saturday’s Sunderland vs. Millwall match finished 2-2, and all four goals were scored thanks to an array of increasingly mind-boggling goalkeeper boners that almost beggar belief. This is either the worst example of high-level goalkeeping ever, or an impressive display of just how shameless match-fixing can get.
Recently relegated Sunderland got their asses handed to them in a friendly against Celtic on Saturday, losing by a score of 5-0. After the match, some Sunderland fans happened upon Darron Gibson at a bar. Confronted by the fans’ frustrations, the Northern Irish midfielder is caught on video going on a slurry, rambling…
The English Football Association has fined former Sunderland manager David Moyes ÂŁ30,000 for threatening comments he made to a female reporter after a match against Burnley in March.
It’s hard not to look at the picture above, taken during Sunderland’s loss to Middlesbrough last month that all but sealed the Black Cats’ relegation, and not see in David Moyes’s pained, crinkled face a man wondering where it all went wrong. It was only three seasons ago when Moyes landed his dream job as coach of…
Today, Sunderland manager David Moyes has publicly responded to a newly released video in which he can be heard saying “You still might get a slap even though you’re a woman” to BBC reporter Vicki Sparks after a postgame interview from a couple weeks ago.
Here is Sunderland nearing the end of today’s match against Southampton:
Just look at this shit. A beautiful touch by Tottenham’s Mousa Dembélé to slice through Sunderland’s midfield. A completely hopeless and reckless leg-smasher of a tackle by Jack Rodwell in response to Dembélé’s skill. And somehow, despite standing three feet away with a perfect view of the clattering, a referee who…
Sunderland are in trouble. The squad is bad, the team is broke, and the man overseeing it all, once-heralded and now cosmically beleaguered manager David Moyes, can’t muster the will to even feign optimism.
Poor David Moyes. A few short years after leaving his post as longtime Everton manager, Moyes has since flailed in his lone year as Sir Alex Ferguson’s successor at Manchester United, stuck for an even shorter duration at Real Sociedad, and has finally washed ashore at Sunderland. His squad currently sits at the…
Sunderland were terrible. Their defending was appalling all game, most obviously on Everton’s third goal. Who the hell is marking Romelu Lukaku here?
So that’s pretty much it, eh? We already have our Premier League champions—whose coronation was catered by an exceedingly accommodating Everton team—at the top of the table, and at the bottom we also know which teams are going down, thanks to Sunderland’s victory today, again brought to us by Everton.
Watch this latest Jamie Vardy goal, his 21st of the season. Watch him pick up the ball at the halfway line, cooly assess the situation, and decide on the brute-force move of “kick it past the motherfucker and run.” Watch him bulldoze Patrick Van Aanholt, slip past Vito Mannone, and secure a 2-0 win over woeful…
Just when it seemed like the weirdest bits of Adam Johnson’s criminal case involving his sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl had already come out, even more emerges and the whole thing gets even stranger.
While former Sunderland winger Adam Johnson has already been cut from his team and convicted of multiple criminal charges in lieu of his sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl, the fallout of the entire ordeal is still settling. The latest result of the case is today’s announced resignation of the club’s CEO,…
One year to the day after being arrested for having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl, and about a month after pleading guilty to two charges related to the case, former Sunderland winger Adam Johnson has been convicted of another charge of sexual activity with a child—one of the two brought against him at…
The trial of recently-cut Sunderland winger Adam Johnson on charges related to his sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl started today, which means we’re starting to learn the details of what exactly Johnson did to get in this situation. According to the prosecution’s version of events, they aren’t pretty.
A day after Sunderland winger Adam Johnson pleaded guilty to two charges stemming from a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl, the club has reportedly terminated Johnson’s contract:
We’d be up to the same were we Sunderland supporters.
You see that up there? That’s one of those rarest of sights, an American donning the shirt of a (ostensibly at least) top-tier European club. Yes, DeAndre Yedlin made his first ever start for Sunderland today, and he actually did something good, too!
