Despite the tone of recent pieces, there IS still something good to say about French football. Needless to say, there's a strong Sunderland connection here ...
Salut! Sunderland has hit upon an obvious choice of team to support in the French top-flight Ligue 1 that kicks off a week [...] Read More >>
Luke Harvey believes the one-match ban on French players for their playground tantrum in South Africa is both ineffectual and, by punishing the (possibly) innocent, unfair. The truth remains confused: the French sports minister spoke of the bullies and the meek but players who have spoken publicly insist everyone was up for the strike [...] Read More >>
Some took the low road, others took high road. While sunseeking Sunderland fans opted for the Algarve, Pete Sixsmith headed north, experienced the heady delights of the Forth rail bridge - and saw Cowdenbeath put a stop to any notion of dancing on the streets of the suburb of Kirkcaldy that is indeed called Raith [...] Read More >>
French football is in an appalling state. It was bad enough, following the Thierry Henry handball, even before the team reached South Africa. Once they got there, the rot really set in, from the awful performances to Anelka's foul-mouthed rant, from the players' revolt to the manager Raymond Domenech's disgraceful refusal to shake the hand [...] Read More >>
The first time I looked, Sunderland were winning 4-1 against Hull City in Portugal and Campbell, Fraizer not Sol, had scored all four of our goals in the first 34 minutes. The next time I looked it was 4-2 and not far from the final whistle. And my third glance showed that to be the [...] Read More >>

So the season's a third over, we've struggled at home and failed to win away. Steve Bruce's new signings have proved deeply disappointing and the quality of play is generally abysmal.
Then, you might argue, would be the time for the boo boys to vent their anger at the manager and his team. If [...] Read More >>
No one likes to be honoured by a clip like this. A year from now, we all hope to be looking back on the season's glories from Titus Bramble, if join us he does, and not a new bunch of calamities. Scroll down for a much-respected Wigan fan's warm commendation. And Titus: the clip is [...] Read More >>
Long before Bill Taylor set up home in the other Toronto, the one that that isn't quite capital of Canada, he lived near Toronto, Co Durham. In Bishop Auckland, to be precise, home of great conker trees in the Bishop's park and - during his boyhood - the all-conquering Two Blues at Kingsway. Bishop Auckland [...] Read More >>
Steve Bruce has urged Sunderland supporters to give Titus Bramble the benefit of the doubt. The centre-half, who spent today finalising his 1m switch from Wigan to Wearside, is a controversial figure in the north-east following an error-prone stint with Newcastle United and may struggle for acceptance by his new, sceptical public.Bruce, having overseen the [...] Read More >>
David James is having "ongoing talks" with Sunderland over a move to the Stadium of Light. Sunderland's first-choice goalkeeper, Craig Gordon, broke his arm in a training-ground accident earlier in the week and Steve Bruce has identified the 40-year-old England international as a possible short-term replacement.Celtic have also held talks with James, who is a [...] Read More >>
David James is likely to make a decision on his future at the end of the week as the England international considers interest from Fulham, Celtic and Sunderland.
