Brian Brobbey is the best target man in the Premier League this season
When Sunderland go long from their own half and he gets to the ball first, they keep it 79% of the time. The average for forwards is 53%. Calvert-Lewin, who wins far more long balls, is at 53%, Delap at 38%

You’re the Prime Minister. Eight picks. Who do you trust to deliver?
Build your Cabinet and see how long you last.
Play free. No sign-up required.

“ I made a mistake by putting someone of the stature of Pelé or Maradona on to warm up and then not putting him in the game. If it were today I would not do it.”
An actual demand made by Ronaldo to a manager of a national team
I simply don’t understand those that refuse to see how this is a fucking insane thing to do

City should be stripped of titles and the roll of honour left blank.

Andy Burnham's intervention in the Manchester City affair was inappropriate, injudicious and badly, badly misjudged. It felt like a nod to the power of nation state ownership of English football clubs. It felt as if the Establishment was going in to bat for its buddies.

the investigation ended at the 2017-18 season so i guess we'll never know what happened with city's funding after that.

When did Man City last concede 4+ NPxG in a game?
According to my xG model: never. Not once in 515 matches going back to 2014/15.
The closest they’ve come:
3.45 - Liverpool 2–0 City (Dec 2024)
3.43 - PSG 3–2 City (Jan 2025)
3.33 - Chelsea 2–1 City (Jun 2020)

🇨🇴 Ian Poveda bagged again last night for Atlético Nacional. He scored in a 3-2 win over his former side Inter Bogotá.
His new teammate James Rodríguez was a big fan of the goal watching on from the bench.
The 26-year-old has 5 goals and 2 assists since heading to Colombia.

From languishing in the depths of League One to winning games in the Europa League, Sunderland have been on quite the journey in the past decade.
@CWeatherspoon_ was at the Stadium of Light on Wednesday to soak up the joy and relief that one of England's most historic clubs are back where they belong.

🏴⚽️ Le résumé de la prestation de Jules Ahoka hier avec Sunderland AFC en 5 minutes 🇨🇩🙌🏻
Fun Fact:
Ex-#SAFC and current Hull City centre back, John Egan, has 13 points from a possible 15 against Sunderland in his career
I don’t think there’s any getting away from the fact that a Carabao Cup run is probably bottom of Sunderland’s priority list right now but that doesn’t mean we should shun it. These games are important for fitness and morale so we can keep our squad sharp. #SAFC

Juan Riquelme Angulo Caicedo going to #SAFC is a really exciting move for me, both in terms of the talent and the club.
The 18 year old coined “the Ecuadorian Haaland”, is a special talent. He’s such a good finisher and #9 with 0.78 goals per 90, a conversion rate over 22% and over 6 touches in the box (all top 15% relative to forwards in age group), are elite markers of a great finisher.
He’s does that without really being a high volume player, taking a relatively low amount of shots and not really having a lot of touches or dribbles per 90. Some of which he has to improve.
His incredible physical and athletic tools make him such a handful for defenders, with a frame of 6’4 and a explosive acceleration with his long strides, not only is he a good target man but also a brilliant outlet.
Now Angulo is still very raw as a player, he needs to work on decision making, involvement in play and his OOP work rate. But there’s no way that can’t be worked on with his talent and age.
At the price paid, with the history Independiente Del Valle with talent development, there’s little to no risk with incredible upside for Sunderland here.
