Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud cannot help it that he’s a natural goalscorer. That’s what he gets paid to do and he does it well. This is just one of those times that he probably didn’t want to score. This free kick by Yann M’Vila couldn’t have been placed better for Giroud as he attempted to clear […]

VIDEO: Crystal Palace indecision leads to winning goal for Sunderland

0 comments by on 11/23/2015

For 79 minutes, Sunderland defended and didn’t appear at all like they were going to score. For 79 minutes, Crystal Palace kept shooting and shooting but couldn’t score. Crystal Palace would pay for not scoring in the most cruel of ways. Call it a lack of communication, indecision making or a mix of the two, […]

WATCH: Kone nets hattrick as Everton route Sunderland

Sunderland were a team in crisis before Sunday’s match with Everton, as the hire of one Sam Allardyce would suggest.

Oh Matt Ritchie, what a goal that was that you just scored. The Bournemouth man took the free kick, chested it to himself and volleyed the ball with an incredible curve to put the Cherries up 2-0 on Sunderland after just the first 10 minutes. That was the goal, you can’t possibly get a better […]

0 comments by on 9/1/2015

Sunderland will be getting a bit of a bump in American viewership this season as USMNT and Tottenham player DeAndre Yedlin signed on to the relegation fighters this season on loan from Tottenham Hotspur. The move will certainly give the American international more playing time as a Sunderland player than if he remained a Tottenham […]
