Fantastic piece by Martin Hardy in @thetimes today on how an incredible start to the season for @SunderlandAFC and the ongoing regeneration of the city has got the entire city believing again 🙌 thetimes.com/sport/football/…

Best start for a century has Sunderland fans believing again

Young team and new manager Régis Le Bris — who has doctorate in biomechanics — have delivered four league wins from four and raised hopes at club after years of disappointment
