Blackpool away on New Years Day the stand out fixture in our schedule. First game of the season live on Sky at home to Charlton.

Well I for one am looking forward to Jack Ross at Sunderland. He's already decided not to renew John O'Shea's contract which is a step in the right direction at least.

It's closer than Exeter which is a plus given our nearest game will be Bradford. Also a nice bit of good news for Coventry fans after the years under their ownership. Big away end and I'm sure some of our fans will find the Jimmy Hill statue of great interest on our trip there.

Fair point, didn't concede in 180 minutes against Wolves though. Rodwell will still be with us because despite his words he doesn't want to leave and quite likes getting a steady pay packet for not even turning up for training. His wages will be slashed however but would still be at £40k a...

We haven't faired well against physical sides this season so that is certainly something that needs to be addressed by whoever comes in as manager. If not Akinfenwa will have a field day.

Scoring 3 own goals in 6 minutes was peak Sunderland. We got 19 points that season. I also remember Charlton beating us at the SoL with 10 men on the opening day of the season, Darren Ambrose getting sent off at 1-1. We got 15 points that season!

Beating Oxford 7-0 at home in Division 1 in 1998. The away fixture was an extremely drab 0-0 and was the launch of Sky Sports pay per view and cost £7.95 to watch. Biggest loss was 8-0 to Southampton in the Premier League. Made the long trip from the north-east to see what was an unforgettable...

We have had a massive shift in the feeling surrounding the club recently so if we appoint the right manager we should really be looking at automatic promotion with probably Barnsley. I am already braced for something to go catastrophically wrong however and after a poor start to be wishing for...

Yeah a lot is riding on us finding a new owner next season. After contracts run out and loan players return we have less than a starting XI of first team players with the 13th highest debt in European football and a current owner unwilling to spend on suitable replacements. Adding to that we...

Derby charging us £20 on Good Friday, very fair of them. The last direct train back to the north-east is 9 minutes after kick-off which is nice. Sunderland allocation at Burton was 1,651 which was sold out. For away attendances at the SoL: Hull had exactly 1,000 according to their official...

Our remaining fixtures: Villa (h) QPR (a) PNE (h) Derby (a) Sheff Wed (h) Leeds (a) Norwich (h) Reading (a) Burton (h) Fulham (a) Wolves (h) It'll all be over soon.

Millwall and Sheff Wed were good from the grounds I've visited this season. A good atmosphere at the SoL is very few and far between these days, obviously not helped by what is on the pitch.

Be about 1,900 Sunderland fans at Millwall on Saturday, assuming it isn't populated by penguins by then. 100 or so shy of selling out. Yeah our support in London is usually good for that reason, there'll be around about 500 London (and surrounds) based fans there I'd have thought.

You have my vote.

1,358 Sunderland wondering how much worse it could get at Bolton.

I dread to think about ours.

McGeady has shown bits and pieces (all under Grayson) of his ability but with Coleman opting for a sort of 5-3-2 he won't get a look in, except off the bench for 10 minutes when the game is out of sight.

Our away attendances slipping down the table much like our club. The final amount for Sunderland at Burton was 1,651 btw, at least that's what our allocation that sold out was.

He has probably been the only good signing that Grayson had made for us, been solid in the defence or at least solid as you can be in the Sunderland defence. Makes the odd positional mistake but not as bad as Galloway who followed him on loan from Everton. Think last count for away tickets...
