Sheffield United Win Review

A fine penalty save from Anthony Patterson along with a composed finish from Eliezer Mayenda and an exquisite finish from Thierry Henry clone Wilson Isidor meant that the lads remain firmly in the hunt for automatic promotion with a hard-fought 2-1 win over promotion rivals Sheff Utd.
Joining Bilbao Black Cats´ Lee Thirkell to go over the match were 2 debutants in Martin Bates from Toronto in Canada and Craig Hill in Sollentuna just outside Stockholm in Sweden, both of whom share their Sunderland story.

Stoke City Defeat Review

The lads conceded in the 92nd minute to lose 1-0 away at managerless Stoke City. Plenty of chances but had it not been for an impressive performance by Stoke's keeper, we'd probably have won that comfortably.
Joining Bilbao Black Cats' Lee Thirkell to go over the match was Martin Steffner from the German Black Cats and a debut for Colin Backhouse of the Malta Mackems. Colin also tells us his Sunderland Story.

Blackburn Draw Review

The lads almost had the 3 points in the bag but a late equaliser meant the points were shared at Ewood Park.
The 1st half can be summed up by saying the best thing about it was Jude Bellingham in the stands singing "Shearer is a wanker". 2nd half was much better with goals from Rigg and Isidor but sadly we couldn't hold on.
Lee Thirkell from the Bilbao Black Cats was joined by 2 new guests to review the match and hear their Sunderland stories. Max Gad in Denver, USA and Jonathan Williams in Edmonton, Canada.

Norwich Win Review

Bellingham outstanding, Jobe outstanding. It definitely is the same bloke as the lads came from behind for the 4th game in a row to take 3 points vs Norwich in a feisty 2-1 win at the Stadium of Light in front of 40,000 fans thanks to goals from Dan Ballard and Jobe Bellingham.
Joining Bilbao Black Cats' Lee Thirkell to review the match and share their Sunderland stories were debutants Chris in Brisbane and Paul in Thailand.
Enrico from the Black Cats of Italy introduces this episode with a weekend report of his trip to Sunderland alongside his mate Gabry.
