The Yankees had Houston where they wanted them twice on Monday night. Then the bullpen gave away a game that had no business getting away.
In the second and final part of our look at Don Revie’s relationship with Sunderland, Martin, Kelvin and Chris delve into the summer and autumn of 1964, and discover just how close – or not – Revie was to leaving Leeds and joining Sunderland as manager.

Mookie Betts is coming back from the injured list on Monday, after missing over five weeks with a strained oblique. He returns to a Dodgers lineup that is struggling, averaging just 3.89 runs per game over the last 18 games (eighth-worst in MLB) with a lowly 89 wRC+. The Dodgers plan to ease Betts back […]

A Great Performance… There are a few bits, so best to break this up, and I’m going to start with Saturday’s performance – because the Lads deserve a lot of credit. They came out of the blocks after kick-off with an intensity that we maybe haven’t seen for a while – potentially when we completed […]
Dan Ballard’s sending off against Wolves dominated discussions around Sunderland last week, with the club deciding to appeal against his VAR red card for the now much-talked about hair pull. However, while the club waited for the FA to predictably reject their appeal, elsewhere, a far more significant – but much less publicised – decision regarding […]

[Sorry for the late post. I had a Mother’s Day thing. Thanks to Josh for filling in.] NATIONAL Okay, so the NCAA decided to get stupid and follow the NCAA Basketball model of awarding four number ones, four number twos, etc. But we know what this really means and we are going to follow the […]
Manchester United loanee Marcus Rashford scored much more than the game-winning goal for FC Barcelona today.
