Could Michael Owen Really be Headed to Japan?
By Laurie | May 13th, 2008The EPL season is over. The new league champions have been crowned. What does this mean? It means: Cue the latest round of rumors of disgruntled players looking to get a better deal elsewhere. The most recent rumor? Frequently scoring, frequ ...

The High And The Lows...
By Martin | May 5th, 2008It's difficult to think of an even amount of highs and lows, hence the title of this post - so I'm going with 3 of each. It was incredibly hard to limit the "lows" to just 3, and it was even harder to come up with 3 highs. Highs: Newcastle Unit ...
Weekend Recap: Heartbreak and/or Male-Bonding Hugs
By Laurie | April 21st, 2008It's that nailbiting time of the season in most leagues, especially for those teams that are close to the top and in the title race, or close to the bottom and facing relegation. So how did some of the games from the weekend turn out? Saturday's ...
Sunderland Fan Loses a Bet and Has to Kiss the Newcastle Badge
By Daryl | April 21st, 2008[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waG-riwVdzg[/youtube] Tyne-Wear derby + bet between mates + YouTube = suffering/hilarity. Seems these lads had a bet on yesterday's Newcastle vs Sunderland game, with the loser having to kiss the winning tea ...
Weekend Watch: Don't Get Chicken
By Laurie | April 18th, 2008Big weekend for plenty of teams. Let's hope they keep their heads. Saturday Real Zaragoza vs Recreativo Huelva While the La Liga title race hasn't quite lived up to expectations, the relegation battle still looks mighty excitin ...
Why is Sky hatin' on Chelsea?
By Jack | April 10th, 2008So Sky Television and the Premier League have decided to move another Chelsea fixture. Just two weeks after rescheduling the Everton game for next Thursday, they have now pushed back the Blues' penultimate match of the season with Newcastle, two day ...
Spurs Looked Worse then I Felt After Watching
By Richard | March 31st, 2008Holy crap! That was awful, just plain awful. You remember when you were a kid and your folks would make you eat some vegetable that just smelled about as bad as possible? Like it was harvested from your old gym teachers shorts after a week straig ...
Harry Redknapp Learnt From 'Big Sams' Mistakes
By b-man | January 12th, 2008I can't even describe how delighted and relieved I am that Harry didn't take the job up north! While I never thought he would leave, you can never be sure football these day's, as let's face it; money talks. It is a great display of loyalty that Har
Redknapp Would Be Mad to Take Over at Newcastle
By b-man | January 11th, 2008I'm not one of these fans that sees their own club as the biggest in the world. I'm not one of these ignorant 'arm-chair' fans who believes I know more than the professionals. But what I do know is that Harry Redknapp would be absolutely insane to leave h
D-2, There's no need to worry...
By Magnusson | December 10th, 2007Okay. Apparently nobody is expecting us to win Tuesday night at the Vélodrome against Liverpool. I get it, they seem super strong, they have world class players and we once again will have to face a lot of injuries. Maybe not alot but some crucial one
FA to investigate Barton so-called tackle
By Lucas | November 12th, 2007The FA is going to investigate Joey Barton's "tackle" on Dickson Etuhu just before halftime of yesterday's derby; jackass Joey could receive a 3-match ban. The challenge in question comes at about the 2:55 mark in these highlights (which are really dep
SAFC draw 1-1 vs mags; could be worse
By Lucas | November 10th, 2007It looked like it would be joy on Wearside today after Danny Higginbotham put the good guys up 1-0 early in the second half, only to see James Milner put in a slop goal 14 minutes later. The game would end 1-1 despite good pressure from the Black Cats, i
EPL Round 13: Sunderland AFC vs Newcastle United FC
By Lucas | November 10th, 2007Well my alarm didn't go off but I managed to get up somehow right around 5 AM, and only missed the first 13 minutes of the match. Apparently I didn't miss much. We are currently at halftime and the game is 0-0. First half highlights include: Chopra m
Gary Rowell World
By Lucas | November 9th, 2007"There will be Sunderland fans working at their jobs all this week whose minds and mouths will never be far away from thinking about this game." Ain't it the truth. This is from Mackem Legend Gary Rowell's latest column for the Sunderland Echo, wherei
More buildup (FTM)
By Lucas | November 8th, 2007The good folks at A Love Supreme give us their preview of Saturday's immense derby, along with some brief pieces on Nyron Nosworthy, Craig Gordon and Carlos Edwards in their news roundup. Said No, No, No! Nyron: "I know I'm a London boy but I've been u
THEM are coming
By Lucas | November 7th, 2007This Saturday at the Stadium of Light, Sunderland will take on arch nemeses newcastle united for the first time since April 2006. That last installment of the Wear-Tyne derby was notable for a few reasons, not all of them very good for SAFC: Sund
Impossible is not Marseillais...
By Magnusson | October 4th, 2007"Impossible n'est pas marseillais" This is a saying people use talking about Marseille and we saw why tonight. It's too late for me to write anything but we did it. At Anfield. As I predicted, they underestimated us and thought the Tottenham game w
Make them walk alone...
By Magnusson | October 3rd, 2007The Last time we met. During the 2003/2004 season, Marseille was having a lackluster season and our coach Alain Perrin was fired after less than ten games after having helped us qualify for the Champion's League. We didn't get very far in that competit
Man City-Newcastle Live Blog
By Patrick | September 29th, 2007Ok, I've been a very, very bad blogger. I guess TheOffside isn't in great shape considering they haven't canned me after not posting for a month. Although I don't get paid or anything, so I guess they don't care that much. Anyway, I have missed a lot o
A loss which feels like a win
By Shaun | September 3rd, 2007I suppose i could be negative about the result: A late goal sinks disappointing Wigan. No. It is true that conceding a 87th minute goal from Mikey Owen is upsetting (especially as its the second late goal we have conceded in the last week) and it i
Marseille loses the Derby....and its captain.
By Magnusson | August 29th, 2007There's a word nobody really wanted to use since the beginning of the season. Not anyone who really follows this club anyway. Nobody wanted to be ridiculed for their alarmism but here you go. The word we're talking about is "CRISIS". All capitals too. Mar
England 1-2 Germany: David Beckham - Only 'Time Difference' Will Tell
By Andy | August 22nd, 2007Now that David Beckham is commuting from LA to play for England does that mean we can have some fun?!!?!!?!! Think about it. By the time Beckham flies back to LA after playing for England, did he really play for England and did England really lose
"One of Us!"
By Lucas | August 18th, 2007When Che Keano signed Michael Chopra in July, most SAFC faithful probably dropped their pints and screamed bad words. I'm only a Sunderland fan for 2 or 3 years now, and I know I was surprised to hear that we'd picked up the guy who'd come up through the
My EPL Predictions
By Brian | August 2nd, 2007Champions: Chelsea Though it pains me to say it, Mickey Mouse FC made all the right moves during the offseason. First, they boosted their backline by adding Tal Ben Haim and Alex. Though the latter seems to be stuck in work permit limbo, I'm sure it'll

Australia 4, Thailand 0: The Aussies get it done!
By Brian | July 16th, 2007Wow, if Graham Arnold's plan was to grind down Team Thai for 60 minutes and then bring in Harry Kewell and Tim Cahill to finish them off, his plan worked to perfection. Once King Harry hit the field, you could tell momentum had shifted, as he instantly
Tottenham Hotspur 07/08
By Jay | July 4th, 2007Now that the news on Darren Bent has settled, we can put the long transfer saga behind us and look forward. Ziegler has indeed departed to Sampdoria, but no other changes. And yes, the blazing debate over Jermain Defoe's future is in full swing. Having re
