First 45 not a classic Wear-Tyne derby..
#SAFC had the best moments when Thiaw nearly put one in his own net & Ballard nodded one over bar. Visitors largely sat off & looked to play on break. So far, no one really produced much quality.
Think #SAFC will be happy enough atm

A small tribute to an immense man

Struggling to process Gary's death. He was the nicest man, who had time for everyone.
He loved Sunderland so much. Sing his name loud tomorrow, it made him so happy. He'll be kicking every ball with us x

Reinildo is fit for Sunday.
Too soon for Diarra, who'll start full training next week. Senegal squad will be announced this weekend, Le Bris says it's up to his national team whether he goes.
Dennis Cirkin now considered ready for selection.

Some on the whistle analysis from The Etihad.
Not as bad as it looked - Cherki was MAGNIFICENT. That late red for O'Nien a really needless one, sadly.
#SAFC just need to learn and move on - City were brilliant

Chastening half for #SAFC.
Long-range shot and a set piece in a couple of minutes, at a point where they were starting to play a bit. But for the most part, City have simply been too good in and out of possession.
They've been really top class.
