Made into @NetflixUK documentary on my football club, “Sunderland Til I Die”
@Fulwell73 have done a great job with it even with me making the slow motion scene 😂

I cannot believe that Jules Ahoka had only played 4 senior professional games before joining Sunderland in a £8.6m deal this summer.
Today, brought off the bench after just 4 minutes to replace Sunderland's captain Granit Xhaka...
He's dominated the midfield battle in the opening 45 minutes, against a midfield of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, two midfielders signed for £168m, and 91 capped Jordan Henderson.
It's only 45 minutes, and there's a long way to go...
But he's been central to Sunderland's best performance in weeks!

It’s even worse when watching it back.
Jarred Gillet looked at this and thought, ‘Aye, Free Kick to Chelsea’
Bloke is the worst official in the league. And it’s not even close.
We will fuck this up
Last Post ending will generate a roar
Please prove me wrong #SAFC
Today, we honour those who fought and died protecting our country on Remembrance Sunday. There will be a display by @ThisIsWearside and the order for The Last Post is as follows:
Recitation of The Ode of Remembrance
The Last Post
2 minutes of Silence
Reveille
The Kohima Epitaph
We hope everyone enjoys the match.

The sooner Nordi and BDB are back the better.
There must be better options than Xhaka. Not interested. Not leading.
Danso & Alderete aren’t the answer. 09 better than the pair of them.
Having Diarra available would be useful.
And need some luck.

That was awful,there’s no sugarcoating it. Slow,lethargic and defensively an absolute shambles. There is absolutely nothing to feel any bit of happiness about in that game. Just miles off what it should be,there wasn’t any real sort of fight,playing with a real whimper #SAFC

Last season we pinged the ball about with speed and momentum. This season nothing, so slow.
Last season we were defensively strong, this season I could score against us. Those two views alone make us a wholly different team but with mostly the same players. So disappointing.
Disaster all over…
This new set piece coach signed from Dog and Duck Veterans FC?
No desire, no pace, CBs as strong as a ice cube in the sun
Embarrassing

This was potentially the biggest, most exciting and transformative #SAFC season of many of our lifetimes.
Instead, it feels increasingly like an opportunity squandered and a truly generational chance wasted.
Shove the “advanced metrics” up your arse — we’re in trouble.
Tony Ayton retweeted
Better in the second half but still nowhere near good enough. That first half was embarrassing, absolutely no desire to win the game or even to get a goal. Just slow, meandering football and waiting for the opposition to do something.
No positive response from game to game.

Rotos de dolor, con un nudo en la garganta y sin poder creer que esto sea verdad, desde el CD Tenerife comunicamos el trágico fallecimiento, este martes, día 3 de noviembre de 2026, a las 8:00 horas, de Jesús de Miguel Alameda.
No hay palabras de consuelo; no hay absolutamente nada que mitigue este sentimiento repleto de tristeza. Estamos junto a su desolada familia, junto a sus seres queridos, junto a todo el tinerfeñismo que hoy llora por este cruel desenlace.
La familia de Jesús de Miguel agradece todas y cada una de las muestras de apoyo recibidas, e igualmente solicita, de corazón, máximo respeto a su privacidad, en estos terribles momentos.
🖤 DEP

We have the 8th most big chances in the league.
We’ve missed 74% of them.
Astonishing

How can you go from relatively decent performances against Brentford, Arsenal and Man City into absolute donkeys since?
Was relatively relaxed on the back of those games but it’s been a clusterfuck since
HAVE to reward solo performances with opportunities to start games #SAFC

It’s the standard of goals we’re conceding…
It’s just so, so poor.
Individual errors, lack of effort to make up for a mistake, sloppy in possession, silly red cards.
We’ve gone from one of the best drilled and most organised defences in the league, that was the bedrock of a side that took points off 18 of 19 opponents last year, to one of the worst.
