I always think it’s a sign that a club’s in a bit of disarray when they make a load of signings in any transfer window. We’ve seen it so many times over recent seasons at Sunderland that we had become pretty accustomed to seeing 8,9, 10 new faces competing for first team positions.

Ok before I start, Sunderland’s third kit is somewhat behind the home and away kit Hummel have given us. The pattern has been slated online, but there’s something about it that I am getting behind. It is different and unique and remains loyal to the Hummel promise of...

The Carabao Cup has begun in earnest and I’m still earnestly wondering who the fuck drinks the shit. I’ve never seen this drink in a shop, garage or anywhere at all. Much like Rich Energy or Wolf Beef Jerky (both parent companies apparently liquidated this year so well done Gimli) you’d be forgiven for not knowing it existed if someone didn’t force such knowledge upon you.

The 2024 NBA Draft lacked excitement from the very start of the cycle due to the absence of a consensus No. 1 overall player. The 2024 class wasn’t terrible, but it always felt more like a role player draft than one with future franchise cornerstones. The fact that this was the draft that immediately followed Victor Wembanyama’s class made it seem even more underwhelming.

Actor Jack Wild, who died tragically at only 53 from cancer in 2006, received an Academy Award nomination for his teen role as the Artful Dodger in the 1968 movie musical Oliver! One year later, Wild was cast in what became the second of his most famous roles: that of Jimmy in the classic ABC's Saturday morning live show, H.R. Pufnstuff, which aired in the early 1970s - and was produced by Sid and Marty Kroft.

The worldwide COVID-19 pandemic saw people across the globe pick up new hobbies and skills. That included Rose Harvey. Harvey, whose job as a corporate lawyer in the music industry in England was eliminated during the pandemic, leaned into running. While she often ran to and from the office while practicing law, she never quite had the time to dive into the sport fully. But with the lockdowns in effect — and running listed as one of the permitted outdoor activities — she had the opportunity to dive fully in.

One of the greatest games of the 2023-24 Premier League season was the November meeting between Chelsea and Manchester City. Chelsea was in flux, floundering under new manager Mauricio Pochettino and struggling to make sense of its massive lineup, while City was hungry to stake its claim on the title race early with a statement win. The teams traded blows, but as injury time ticked on the game looked set to end as a 4-3 City victory.It wasn't to be. City's Ruben Dias committed a penalty-drawing foul in the 95th minute and offered Chelsea an unexpected lifeline. In pouring rain...
