Finally, finally, FINALLY got to my first gig of the year! Mid-March ffs! Never waited this long to see a show (pandemics aside).

Plenty lined up for the rest of the year though.
@evewrestling.bsky.social Oh hai, @evewrestling.bsky.social - Will you ever do a show in NE England? 👀

£1 per week, in 1937, would have been 33% of a pit yacker's wage, here in Sunderland, back in 1937.

£60 a week, in today's money 😱

Opted to watch Hearts vs Rangers, in what might be a title deciding match. Jesus wept... 😶

I honestly think Shildon Town, currently top of the Northern Football League, would be in with a shout of winning the SPL title

Sunderland RCA, Seaham Red Star and Esh Winning would all be competing up there

Job done for #SAFC

Was always going to be a difficult game, given the conditions and being up against an opposition who were trying to kick the players into the car park.

Ref was poor
O'Nien/Mundle/Talbi/Bi all impressed
Oxford's keeper kept them in the game #OUFC
Mansfield at home next, please 🙏

Whee the fuck is co-commentator on our game?

I think people might be looking a bit too much into Speakman leaving. I doubt both would have clashed, especially given our position in the table and success in market. If they had, then one of them would have moved sooner.

I think the biggest shock would be the timing of the announcement tbh #SAFC

Speakman appointment was announced on 4th December 2020. We played Wigan Athletic on the 5th December, a disgusting 1-0 defeat. This was the team:
Burge
McLaughlin
Hume
Wright
Flanagan
Leadbitter
Maguire
Scowen
McGeady
Power
Grigg

Subs
Matthews
Sanderson
McFadzean
Dobson
Diamond
Embleton
Graham

I know people don't like this stuff, but I had a lovely dream that we beat the Mags at their place, 1-0. Scored early on, and they had a goal chalked-off by VAR.

Post a banger not in English.

British band, and the original they do is in English, but their Gibraltan had them do a few tracks en Español.

Breed 77 are a massively underrated band from the early 00s - well worth checking out!

A Happy Birthday to Dave Benson Phillips, 61 today!

RIP George. I first met him about 25 years ago, back when the SAFCSA shop was open, near Tesco/Kwik Fit. I was just a kid, when I was buying/collecting the old match day programmes.

Passionate and knowledgeable about all things SAFC and the wider Sunderland area - he will be sorely missed ☹️

#SAFC
RIP George Forster... The original Mr Sunderland!

A big friend of SAFC NASA, and guest of one of our more memorable Socials - pure random Sunderland memories and his famous songs!

Rest in Peace, Legend.

Sad that he went, a very good Championship player. All the best, Pat!
After 147 appearances and two promotions with Sunderland, Patrick Roberts has joined Birmingham City in a permanent transfer.

Thank you for everything, Pat! ❤️

For years, harking back to the Windows 98 days, this glorious painting was my desktop background on every computer I owned.

It hangs in the foyer of the Stadium of Light, and it's amazing how big it is.

He also produced one of the most famous football artworks of all time.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Thank you for everything, Dan 🫡
We can today confirm the departure of long-serving midfielder Dan Neil.

Neil has joined Ipswich on loan until the end of the season, bringing his 18-year association with Sunderland to an end when his contract expires in June.

He lived the dream, and we all wish him well in his next chapter ❤️
