Reviews of both on and off the pitch antics
Sunderland 1 southend 0
It’s a long season and I’m loathe to ever use the term must win… but we could really do with winning today. Shouldn’t be a problem? Southend not great and we’ve played decent the last 3 games. Steady drive up…
Sunderland lose on penalties / york extend their lead at the top of the league
Regular readers of SAFCBlog will know I attend pretty much all of Sunderland’s games and offer a review, (either 1st hand or commissioned). Following a football team involves a lot of time and money. Most people would agree that; Football…
Sunderland lose at shrewsbury
After Tuesday nights victory, optimism for 3 points today was high. After watching a bit of rugby, (no idea what the rules are, but we seemed to be doing ok?), we departed for Shrewsbury at 10am. Sat Nav said 2…
Sunderland Thrash tranmere rovers 5-0
Well that was rather good wasn’t it? 5 bloody nil! Steady drive to Wonderland. Start of match 0-0 Half time 3-0 Full time 5-0. Tranmere weren’t very good, but the same can be said of most teams in L1? We…

Sunderland Slump to defeat at lincoln…
SAFCBlog is built on positivity, I was sure we’d win today….. well, we lost; we were out fought, out thought & outplayed. No point pretending otherwise, there was very little positive about today’s game against Lincoln. Whilst it’s tempting to…
Sunderland win against mK Dons
Never been a huge fan of the term must win, but rightly or wrongly, the match had the feel of a must win game? Whilst SAFCBlog is committed to reviewing every game; it’s obviously harder to review home games, as…
Sunderland win at Sheffield United
Driving to Away games is an absolute pleasure, as the scenery is mint – few weeks time and it’ll be dark, all the more reason to enjoy the wonderful views on the way to Sheffield ….. Joking aside…. ‘Hello” ,…
Bolton wanderers 1 sunderland 1
Ultimately a poor result, but as always the 90 minutes is just a small part of the day….. JOURNEY Head across the Pennines for the 5th time this season, traffic an absolute nightmare. PRE MATCH Anyone who has been to…
