en-us SportSpyder - Sunderland AFC (SB Nation: Roker Report) https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/sources/14611/news Looking back and remembering is something all Sunderland fans have done more than their fair share of. It’s been a central part of our identity for many years; at times, thinking back to a handful of decent days and nights is all we’ve really had to lean on. When the present day involves setting the […] Tue, 09 Jun 2026 05:29:39 GMT Ricky Clucas https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56889745 https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56889745 false false On this day in 2022, Billy Bingham died.

He turned out for the Lads from […] Tue, 09 Jun 2026 05:29:35 GMT John Wilson https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56889744 https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56889744 false false The Sunderland fanbase spreads far and wide, thousands of miles away from the shores of Wearside. We have supporters’ branches dotted around the globe, each full of members that, no matter their background, all share the mutual love of Sunderland AFC. Up until 2015, Germany was without a dedicated supporters’ branch, but this all changed […] Tue, 09 Jun 2026 05:29:32 GMT PaddyHollis https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56889742 https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56889742 false false Habib Diarra: B- When assessing Sunderland’s club record signing, it’s important to remember that given the frugal approach that ultimately led us back to the top flight, splashing out £30 million on a player would be the equivalent of a rival team paying twenty or thirty million more — the temptation is to believe that […] Tue, 09 Jun 2026 05:29:28 GMT Philip West https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56889741 https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56889741 false false Welcome to this morning’s edition of Haway The Podcast, and we’ve got something a bit different, as we catch up with Andy and Renata – who decided to leave life in Melbourne, Australia behind for the year to follow the lads.

Back in August, I’d have taken seventeenth place and a final-day scramble, no questions asked. Instead, the Lads have given us seventh place, fifty four points, a derby double, and European football on Wearside for the first time in over fifty years. Go on, read that sentence […] Mon, 08 Jun 2026 05:34:36 GMT Anthony Gair https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56878930 https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56878930 false false Robin Roefs: A If Peter Reid opted to think outside of the box when he snapped up Thomas Sorensen in 1998 and Roy Keane made a statement of intent when he brought Scottish international Craig Gordon south from Tynecastle in 2007, one wonders just what kind of witchcraft was at play when we signed the […] Mon, 08 Jun 2026 05:34:33 GMT Philip West https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56878929 https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56878929 false false Is change good? I’ve lived in Yorkshire for around twenty years now, and I realised very quickly that any sort of change in the region is about as welcome as a fart in a space suit.

The Sheffield-born keeper started out at his boyhood club Sheffield Wednesday and quickly established himself as one of the top […] Mon, 08 Jun 2026 05:34:26 GMT Chris Wynn https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56878927 https://sportspyder.com/premier-league/sunderland/articles/56878927 false false After more than three decades covering north-east football, Ian Murtagh had probably thought he’d seen it all!
