Sunderland AFC news from around the globe (since 2013), with link to original source. No 'ITK' gossip.
Considering our effort against City, to get through that leggy first half and come away with a point and could maybe have got all three, that is a fantastic turnaround and performance from everyone.
The team just don't know when they're beaten.

Brilliant effort from everyone today, what a shift. Had enough chances to get all three points but I'm happy enough with a point.
Being unlucky not to get all 3 points despite missing the AFCON lads and Ballard, what a squad we have.

Happy enough with a point in the end, took us too long to switch things around after the break and for 20 minutes or so we were well off it. Recovered after the subs though and ending the year unbeaten at home in the PL and in the top 8, cannot complain at that!

Got a little too ragged in the last 20 minutes or so but still disappointed to only come away with one point. That game was there for the winning for long spells, not going to complain with a point at Brighton though, that was a good effort and we never looked depleted.

Happy with a point at Anfield in isolation but what a sign of progress that I am disappointed that we didn't come away with all three! Was so confident when Isidor went through.
Played well when we had the ball, so solid without it and we more than matched them.
