Sunderland AFC all my life #SAFC
Devastated to hear about Gary Rowell. Really shocked. A true club legend. Let’s honour him tomorrow in the best way possible. Beat the Mags. #SAFC

This is an outstanding Man City team. But we’ll learn from this, and we’ll keep on believing. #SAFC

Great decision to protect Xhaka and Sadiki. We’ve been given a tough experience, but bring on the Mags #SAFC

We’re three down now, but they’ve had to work, and it could have been so different with some more luck. Proud of these lads. The Premier League is tough. #SAFC

I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking this…..
The tv coverage on Sky last night, especially from Jamie Carragher, was more about Liverpool not doing things right, rather than Sunlun playing well. We deserve more credit than this! #SAFC

We’ve gone to Liverpool, we’ve drawn, and we’re disappointed to only draw. You’ve got to just love this group of players. #SAFC

This is a great read.
Sunderland's December 2025 is daunting, but it's not December 2020. Spoke to three key decision-makers – Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, Kristjaan Speakman & Florent Ghisolfi – about where the club has been, is today and hopes to be next season and beyond. www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

These lads care. They get the club. They are brilliant! #SAFC

This team just never never never gives up. Just pure fucking magic. #SAFC

So happy to be at Chelsea yesterday and watch a stunning win. The team adapted brilliantly to a new formation, and despite Chelsea having so much of the ball, I just felt all along that we could win this. So proud of those lads. We’ve got a fantastic group of players. #SAFC #TilTheEnd

Desperately bad news coming out of Sheffield Wednesday, with a high chance of the club being placed in administration. One man, hell-bent on destroying one of the great clubs of English football. People like Chansiri should be kicked out of football. #SAFC #SWFC #ChansiriOut

We’ve always done the 'Sunlun thing'. Beat a couple of big teams, and then lose to some strugglers at home. It's happened more times than I can remember. Then yesterday, we didn't do 'typical Sunlun'. We beat a struggling team. Hope it's the big sign that things really are changing. #SAFC

What a brilliant podcast, recommend you give it a listen! Two great journalists in Phil Smith and James Copley being joined by Jonathan Wilson who is arguably the best football writer in the world. He’s also a massive lads fan! Fantastic listen. #SAFC #Sunlun
We had the absolute pleasure of being joined by @jonawils.bsky.social on the pod today. Pretty sure you'll enjoy!

Loads of stuff discussed both on Jonathan's new book and ofc all things #SAFC

This team just NEVER gives up. Team spirit in bucket loads! #SAFC #TilTheEnd

With much debate about journalists favouring Twitter over Bluesky, full respect to Phil Smith at the Sunderland Echo. He’s really good at using Bluesky, and for obvious reasons, he’s a great source of reliable news about #SAFC #Sunlun
September 26, 2025 at 3:54 PM
Great challenge for Regis now, he simply has to play Mukiele, Alderete and Ballard in the same team. They are absolutely brilliant #Sunlun #SAFC
September 21, 2025 at 3:23 PM
Got to be pleased with the point. This side is full of passion and never stops. Ballard scared Villa every time we had a set piece, and Mukiele is off-the-scale brilliant. #SAFC #TilTheEnd

The need for news during the transfer window made me look at ‘the other side’. It’s truly awful, so much bigotry and attempts by really unpleasant people to influence opinion. Just wish more of the really top quality #SAFC journalists would make more use of Bluesky.

Excellent article by Phil Smith in the Echo about Patrick Roberts’ legacy. A story of mutual respect between club, player and fans. Give it a read.
Wanted to write a few words about Pat Roberts - one of my favourite Sunderland players to watch.

Hopefully there's still another chapter or two but if not, what a pleasure

Patrick Roberts to Birmingham. That leaves an empty feeling. Love him as a player, and we wouldn’t have got to the Premier League without him. Wish him well, and consoling myself it’s only a loan, so he could return at some point #EndOfAnEra #Sunlun
