EPL Round 33: Fulham FC vs Sunderland AFC
By Lucas | April 5th, 2008Suddenly Sunderland are road warriors, with their second straight win away from the Stadium of Light. Danny Collins, Michael Chopra and Kenwyne Jones were all on target as they sent poor little Team America (fuck yeah) closer to oblivion with a 3-1 ...
EPL Round 32: The Tao of Andy
By Lucas | March 29th, 2008A Taoist proverb tells us "To bend like the reed in the wind, that is the real strength." I would like to revise it to read "To bend like Andy Reid in injury time, that is real awesome." Andy Reid opened his Wearside account today at the Stadiu ...

By Lucas | March 11th, 2008A day late, and a dollar short, And I ain't got a match report. Because the game, I did not see, So take it from those who know better than me: Pete Sixsmith: "How many times did we threaten? How many saves did Tim Howard have to make?... Jones
EPL Round 26: Sunderland AFC vs Wigan Athletic FC
By Lucas | February 10th, 2008I managed to make it out of bed and to the bar by approximately 6:55am, and there I was waiting with the hobos for the place to open. Giant flat screen TV and a cup of very mediocre coffee (one free refill only), and I’m ready to watch the boys take it
Wigan. Again.
By Lucas | February 8th, 2008Sunderland on Saturday will play Wigan Athletic for the third time this season. Both previous ties ended in 3-0 losses for the Black Cats (league reality check at JJB in August and FA Cup disaster at Stadium of Light last month). Sunderland have sho
EPL Round 25: Liverpool FC vs Sunderland AFC
By Lucas | February 2nd, 2008Kieran Richardson is back in the lineup, missing only two games from a hamstring injury. Might it be a case of Roy Keane rushing back his play-making midfielder a game too soon? SAFC will find it tough to get a result from this match, perhaps it would h

EPL Round 20: Sunderland AFC vs Bolton Wanderers FC
By Lucas | December 29th, 2007Today at the Stadium of Light Liam Miller returns to the lineup, and we get Chopra, Kenwyne and Cole playing up front against a Bolton team still just barely free of the drop zone. The game isn't being shown live here (I get Chelsea vs newcastle, whoop
Tis the Season
By Lucas | December 21st, 2007Ahead of the Christmas/New Years period, which will see Sunderland play 4 games in 11 days (followed by the FA Cup tie vs Wigan 3 days after that), there are some disconcerting transfer rumors in the air. First is the report that Chelsea may make a £1
EPL Round 17: Sunderland AFC vs Aston Villa FC
By Lucas | December 17th, 2007Before this game, most Sunderland fans would have told you that, reasonably, a draw against one of the better teams in the league would have been OK. After this game, having looked at the statistics - Villa had a clear advantage in shots, corners, posses
EPL Round 16: Chelsea FC vs Sunderland AFC
By Lucas | December 8th, 2007This should be easy, right? Most fans would be pleased with a point from Chelsea today, and it looks like Keane feels the same way, going with a defensive 4-5-1 formation with Kenwyne Jones alone up top (and I have poker buddies to vouch that I was bla
Six-Pointer
By Lucas | November 30th, 2007Sunderland will play Derby County tomorrow in a game between newly promoted sides, one which everyone's been calling a "six-pointer." Is this just a ploy to get neutrals to care about a game between two teams in the drop zone? I understand the implica
Fulham recap; bring on Blue Moon
By Lucas | November 2nd, 2007Sorry I've been such a bad blogger this week. No recap of the Fulham match, no mid-week news, and now this lame attempt to combine both with a preview of Monday's Man City match. Apologies in advance for your reading displeasure... EPL Round 11:

EPL Round 10: West Ham Utd FC vs Sunderland AFC
By Lucas | October 21st, 2007"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 ag
EPL Round 9: Arsenal FC vs Sunderland AFC
By Lucas | October 7th, 2007These 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

By Lucas | August 17th, 2007Carlos Edwards is going to miss a month due to a hamstring injury he picked up during the midweek 2-2 draw at Birmingham City. "I must admit," said Roy Keane, "I had a feeling he might pick up some kind of injury.... Three games in a week is demanding f
