Total scenes. How to celebrate a late equaliser - number 40 @a_words_4 ploughs into the away end, stands on a seat, picks up a kid, the lot. Brilliant stuff.

Best display I’ve ever seen from a keeper, by a mile. He was that good I was actually shocked when we scored. Remember Ron Atkinson saying afterwards “there was only one team in it - and they lost.”
Today marks 33 years since Mark Bosnich’s one-man show at Roker Park. Sunderland completely dominated this League Cup tie, but here he puts in his best performance in a Villa shirt, enabling his side to win 4-1. A goalkeeping masterclass. 🧤

Hugely impressed by Wroclaw and Poznan, the people and prices. A very different trip to last week’s but just as enjoyable, potentially 10/10 but for the equaliser.

I guess the cat was a good sign. One of the best trips with some of the best people you’ll find. Thanks Leiria and Porto, to Poznan...

Never forget what he did for us and our journey. Still hang on his every word, even this Revel-gate update.

If Chelsea fans are looking for positives, that was some prime post-match gobbing from Enzo Fernandez.

👀Amazing quote from Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom, who was unfazed about atmosphere caused by Snoop Dogg's pre-match presence/lap of honour before 1-1 draw v Swansea. 🗣️"The only difference was the smell of weed in the tunnel!"

RIP. Feel blessed to have lived in his world.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Gary Rowell. A Sunderland icon and legendary goalscorer. Tomorrow, Wearside will come together and pay tribute to him ahead of a fixture he made his own. Rest in peace, Gary ❤️🤍

Welcome to Sunderland AFC, Arthur Masuaku! ❤️👋 The left-back signs a two-year contract and becomes the Club’s 10th summer signing.

Remember when we'd have been happy to pay £2million for Kieffer Moore?

Lyon staying up. Ah well, it's good to dream.
