Dodds: We didn't deserve to lose - and we should have won #SAFC sunderlandecho.com/sport/football…
If Sheffield Wednesday defeat Sunderland next weekend they’ll stay up and finish the season three points behind us. Testament to the work Danny Rohl has done at Hillsborough - and the painful implosion since the turn of the year on Wearside. #SAFC
An awful second half to the season from Sunderland. Tanked in December after the sacking of Mogga & third consecutive transfer window failure. Clear squad issues left unaddressed in Jan. Strategic rethink needed - but will it happen? Have lessons been learned? #SAFC
On the whistle verdict from Watford... Some lovely Charlie Hurley tributes but a miserable end to the campaign continues. They created more today but from a low bar and it was another pretty tame showing #SAFC sunderlandecho.com/sport/football…
#SAFC were cut open far too easily there but probably should also have been saved. Rigg and Aouchiche off for Ba and Roberts
GOAL WATFORD Quick break and Andrews drives into the far corner. #SAFC trail 1-0
0-0 at HT. #SAFC did end the half on top and have had the better chances. It's been a bad game of football on the whole.
Chris Rigg will today become the fifth player in Championship history to play 20 games aged 16 or younger! ✨ ✔️ Jude Bellingham ✔️ Ryan Sessegnon ✔️ Connor Wickham ✔️ Theo Walcott ⏳ Chris Rigg #SAFC | @SkyBetChamp
Two changes to the #SAFC XI here at Vicarage Road - Trai Hume and Adil Aouchiche return with Pembele and Dack dropping out. Tommy Watson called up to the bench - where Patrick Roberts returns 🔴⚪️
@JamesCopley_ Might well be too early, but think he will go on to do really well and I'm sure his name will crop up, with increasingly short odds, each time there's a vacancy.
His failure to appear in front of the press at the end of the final game of the season, which at the time made a few people a little concerned, now appears telling and it looks as though there has been a risk of this happening for at least a couple of weeks.
Phillips surpassed expectations despite inheriting a squad of players that wasn't his and was riddled with injuries. However, he has a previous of walking away when he feels circumstances are not as he'd want them and did the same at South Shields.
We also recorded a podcast with club historian Rob Mason, which you can watch in the video attached to the article or on our YouTube page at the link below. Rob was so generous with his time & had so many brilliant stories to capture who Charlie was 👇 youtube.com/watch?v=fO2lnu…
Before Watford later a few words to Charlie Hurley - forever The King #SAFC sunderlandecho.com/sport/football…
Remembering Sunderland legend Charlie Hurley after The King's sad passing x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
Available on The Roar's podcast feed shortly. Live on X, YouTube and Facebook tonight at 6:30pm. Will be shown on Shots on Freeview at some point too. #SAFC
❤️ Sir Bob Murray has paid tribute to Sunderland legend Charlie Hurley to The Echo after The King’s sad passing #SAFC sunderlandecho.com/sport/football… sunderlandecho.com/sport/football…

This is great but I played dozens of games in my career without using my hands. And he’s the genius? Makes you think
Andrea Pirlo sprained his right knee, played a few games using primarily his weaker left foot and still looked better than 99% of playmakers out there.
@JamesCopley_ I'd love him as an assistant coach or shooting coach here, but realistically he'll go manage another national league club or even move up to League 1/2
@JamesCopley_ Thank you for doing this. Such stories 😢
Our Under-23s are County Cup CHAMPIONS! 🏆 #SAFCWomen
Buzzing to see this pic almost 26 years ago and hadn't until tonight. That @SunderlandAFC play off match in 98! Leaving Wembley devastated and bumped into such a legend we completely forgot the result for those few minutes. RIP 👑 💔
Charlie was my dad’s hero, he was originally a centre half because of him. I just wanted to be like my dad, so if it wasn’t for a broken ankle at 17 which forced him to be a goalkeeper, I’d have wanted to be a centre half too. Which makes it my first break in football.
'His charisma meant that not only did the supporters idolise him, but players looked up to him too.' Club Historian, Rob Mason pays tribute...
RIP Charlie Hurley The king.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Charlie Hurley, one of the greatest and most beloved players in the history of Sunderland AFC.
Half time and total domination from Sunderland sees them lead 2 0.
