Last season, Sunderland’s midfield was often outrun, outplayed, and outmuscled. Time and time again, the opposition cut through like a hot knife through butter and our defence came under pressure far more often than it should’ve done. We finished last season with a 0-2 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday,...

We’ll get to the obvious elephant in the room at the end of the article. It’s been a long, long time without League One football to keep us entertained. Well, not as long as last summer’s 20-year wait due to how we finished the 2022/23 season, but three months between the end of one season and the start of the next one is always a long stretch. Even with Euros football to keep us entertained, it really does almost feel like a lifetime ago when we last saw the Royals kick a competitive ball in action.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

Having decided to enter the market for a new goalkeeper, Chelsea appear to be making quick work of things. According to the The Athletic, we’re already “close to agreeing” a deal for Filip Jörgensen, after making a bid of around €20-25m, about half the release clause amount of €45m. The 21-year-old Denmark international was reportedly at the top of our shorlist to replace Đorđe Petrović as the backup and challenger to Robert Sánchez, who’s set to get another chance to be our starter. Jörgensen’s said to be keen on the move, so presumably personal terms won’t be a problem.

On his day (and he had many), Tony Towers was probably one of the most complete midfielders I have seen in a Sunderland shirt, having watched the Lads since 1966. He could do it all: tackle, play a passing game long and short, go box-to-box for ninety minutes plus, and deliver a venomous shot. On this day in July 1975, it looked odds-on he would be leaving the club.

On This Day (24th July 1975): Will he stay or will he go now?

The short answer to the question is yes, he is very good. He wasn’t here long, arriving in January on loan, but what we saw of him was very, very exciting. His ball control is absolutely fantastic. He loves to take on a man and is one of those players that gets you on the edge of your seat, which, as a fan, is exactly what you want.
