"Say cheese!"
Before Sunderland’s win over Manchester City on Sunday, it is fair to say that there was a certain amount of pressure on Steve Bruce. Questioned for his activity in this summer’s transfer market and with his team taking a single point in games against Birmingham and West Brom, the Black Cats boss was looking for a break.
Prior to the match, …
Carlton Cole: Is under Pullis's radar
West Ham striker Carlton Cole has been heavily linked with a move to Sunderland in a deal worth £15million. Steve Bruce looks to fill the void left by Kenwyne Jones and is unwilling to pay the £12million asked by Rennes for Gyan Asamoah.
Cole has reportedly been sought after by Liverpool and Stoke, and the Black Cats might …
Huffanpuff, Steve Huffanpuff…
Rueful defending and a distinct lack of creativity cost Sunderland three points in a game which they really should have looked to win.
Peter Odemwingie scored the winner in the final ten minutes of a game derived of any real quality, not to say that West Brom didn’t deserve their win.
The home side were the only team who looked like scoring as Peter …
West Brom will be deflated from their 6 – 0 defeat to Chelsea last week and their Premier League return could deliver further misery with the prospect of playing Sunderland at home on Saturday.
Ishmael Miller and Joe Mattock will miss out on West Brom’s first home game of the season. With a tough run of opening games including Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester …
He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy!
The most controversial transfer of the summer has gone through, with former Chelsea and Arsenal defender William Gallas heading to White Hart Lane. It’s one that’s been rumbling round the rumour mill for some time now, but despite doubts about his wage demands, Spurs look determined to make the signing.
As Spurs fans battle with the ethical dilemma of having to get behind …
Who would have thought that a red card and two set pieces would cost Sunderland victory in their first game of the season? Lee Cattermole picked up two unnecessary yellow cards once again, leaving his team mates to battle on without their captain for 60 minutes of the game.
As Steve Bruce continues his criticism of match officials, the glaring weaknesses of his Sunderland squad continue on from last …
With Jordan Hoose
The time is upon us. This summer hasn’t been as painfully devoid of football as most, but the World Cup doesn’t quite satisfy the appetite for club football. So here are my opening day predictions. Tell me I’m wrong. I dare you.
Sunderland kick off the new season at home to last season’s overachievers Birmingham. I’m going for Sunderland to …
Who will be lifting the trophy come May?
The new Premier League season kicks off tomorrow, so Joe Redmond takes a look at the 2010-11 season ahead and puts his neck on the line.
Arsenal
So much lovely football, so little success. Arsenal are often praised for making the beautiful game just that – beautiful – but the club are heading into their 6th season without a …
Last season’s Premiership clubs earned a record total revenue of more than £2-billion in 2009-10. Alongside this the combined pay of the Premiership players’ hit a record high and is forecast to keep on rising.
UEFA guidelines suggest that clubs should limit the ratio of wages to turnover at 70%. Half of the Premiership teams failed to do this last season. Clubs spent an average of 61.78% of their turnover on wages.

Jones on his way, Bent injured, but hey – lets not worry we are getting Onuha – ANOTHER centre back!!!
That means we have Turner, Ferdinand, Da Silva, Mensah, Kilgallon, Bramble and Onuha to choose from at centre back, while available as strikers we have Campbell, Waghorn and errrr ……….. nobody, I hope Bruce is really, really confident about getting Wellbeck.
Otherwise it could be Campbell …
