“Clean sheets are a point of pride, but they’re only possible because of the commitment from the lads in front of me,” said Anthony Patterson after securing his 50th shutout in Sunderland colours.

Now with 13 clean sheets this season, Patterson’s return to form could prove crucial as Sunderland gear up for a late push in the Championship promotion race.

Ross Stewart’s long-awaited return to the pitch was meant to mark a turning point. Instead, it coincided with a crushing blow for Southampton, as their relegation to the Championship was confirmed following a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham. For Stewart, who joined the club in a £10 million move from Sunderland while still recovering from injury, the moment was especially bittersweet. His time at St Mary’s has been riddled with setbacks, with just 10 appearances to his name.

After the match, manager Ivan Juric praised the unwavering support of the fans, calling their loyalty “incredible” despite the club’s downfall. “This is great English football culture,” he said. “We must now face the mistakes of the past few years and build something better—because these fans deserve it.”

April 6, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Sunderland’s 1-0 win over West Brom at The Hawthorns wasn’t without post-match drama, as former PGMOL referee Keith Hackett raised the possibility of EFL sanctions. The controversy stems from a slight delay to the second-half restart, with Sunderland’s players returning late to the pitch—something Hackett suggested could be viewed as deliberate gamesmanship. While referee Tom Nield addressed the issue briefly with Sunderland captain Dan Neil, Hackett believes the incident will be noted in the official report and may lead to a fine. This marks yet another occasion this season where Hackett has called for action involving Sunderland, though none of his previous warnings have resulted in disciplinary measures so far.

### **Aiden McGeady Remembers His Magical Wembley Moment**

Aiden McGeady is widely regarded as a modern Sunderland legend, his five-year stint leaving a lasting imprint on the club’s history. Among his most unforgettable performances was the 2018/19 EFL Trophy Final against Portsmouth, where he delivered two stunning goals—an early free-kick masterpiece and a dramatic 119th-minute equalizer. Yet, despite the heroics, Sunderland fell short in a heartbreaking 5-4 penalty shootout defeat.

Reflecting on that electric afternoon, McGeady recalled the sheer magnitude of the occasion. *“It was probably the atmosphere that made it so special. Eighty thousand fans, split between Sunderland and Portsmouth, for a League One trophy final—it was unbelievable.”*

Though the trophy eluded them, the experience remains etched in his memory. *“When I scored that second goal, we all went mad. For a moment, it felt like destiny. But then reality hit… penalties. And we all thought, ‘We’ve just come back, surely we’ll win this.’”*

The outcome may not have been what Sunderland fans had hoped for, but McGeady’s performance cemented his place in club folklore—a reminder of the passion and heartbreak that comes with chasing glory at Wembley.

March 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Alan Browne’s unexpected shift to right-back for Sunderland was a move born out of necessity, but it quickly proved to be an inspired decision. With a mounting injury crisis in defence, head coach Regis Le Bris took a gamble by deploying Browne in an unfamiliar role, while shifting Trai Hume to the left. The reshuffle paid off, with Hume delivering a match-winning performance and Browne adapting seamlessly despite his lack of experience in defence. His solid positioning and composed distribution added an unexpected dimension to Sunderland’s play, neutralizing Millwall’s attacking threats. What was meant to be a temporary fix may now present Le Bris with a serious selection dilemma ahead of the trip to West Brom.
