Sunderland will aim to round off a challenging season at the Stadium of Light on a positive note over the next ten days.

Once the campaign comes to a close on the first...
The Championship season is coming to an end and with just two games remaining, Sunderland have very little to play for at this point. The Black Cats missed the chance to move into the top half on Saturday as they lost 1-0 at home to Millwall and as a result they currently sit 13th in the table. Mike Dodds’ side will still be well supported this weekend, though, when they travel to Watford for their final away game of the season.

Nineteen-year-old Whites forward Luca Thomas helped himself to a brace in Friday night’s Premier League Two clash at Newcastle United’s under-21s to see Scott Gardner’s side to a 2-0 success and second win in five days. United’s under-21s approached last Monday’s league hosting of Derby County’s youngsters sat bottom of the table but with games in hand and the quick six-points return has taken Leeds five places up the table with two games to go. The Whites youngsters will make a quick return to...

The Colombia international has been working his way back from a hamstring injury, with his recovery taking place partly with a personal trainer and also between the training grounds of both his loan and parent clubs. The Star understands it was initially feared that Poveda would be ruled out for the remainder of the...
Former Sunderland manager Martin O’Neill has been named as new chairman of the League Managers Association. The 72-year-old replaces another former Black Cats boss after Howard Wilkinson revealed he was bringing an end to his 33-year chairmanship at the end of the season. O’Neill had a 14-month managerial reign at the Stadium of Light after he initially put pen-to-paper on a three-year contract in December 2011. His time in charge got underway with a 2-1 win against Blackburn Rovers and the...
Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick bemoaned a number of decisions by the officials after his side fell to a 4-3 home defeat against title-chasing Leeds United on Monday night. Two goals from in-form forward Emmanuel Latte Lath and an opener from Isaiah Jones were not enough for Boro as Daniel Farke’s men claimed a crucial three points thanks to a Crysencio Summerville brace and a goal apiece from Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto. It was the latter of those goals that proved to be a source...
Sunderland may be destined for a midtable finish under Mike Dodds but it's still all to play for at the top and bottom of the Championship. It's a dramatic promotion race with four teams still competing for a top two spot, while the relegation battle is far from settled Sunderland's season hasn't gone as planned but they'll be keen to bounce back and compete at the top end of the table next time around under a new permanent manager. For now, though, here's a look at what's going on elsewhere in...
‘Dirty Leeds’ was the insult so often thrown at Leeds United in the past but Daniel Farke’s men are anything but. The German has instilled a level-headedness into the squad during his first season in charge at Elland Road and that mindset has been beneficial throughout the campaign. Leeds have not lost a single player through suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards, with only Joe Rodon and Illan Meslier banned after being sent off. Few teams can boast such an achievement and while...
