Among the many indignities inflicted on Sunderland fans in our last Premier League campaign almost a decade ago, one that sometimes slips under the radar is the farcical final-day defeat at Stamford Bridge. Future Mag and gobshite Javier Manquillo actually gave us an unlikely lead, but what followed epitomised the cowardice and lack of self-respect […]

In the early 1980s, a somewhat bizarre TV special titled The Mystery Of Al Capone’s Vaults aired in America. In it, an underground room at a Chicago hotel once inhabited by the notorious crime boss was opened live on air — only for the entire thing to fall flat when nothing more than mounds of […]
Last Tuesday we looked at a tight home win over Bradford City, ahead of which manager Denis Smith had named an unchanged side following two disappointing away games On This Day (21st Oct 1989): Bradford City Sunk By MacPhail’s Arrow | Roker Report. The match had taken place during a heavy run of fixtures, with […]
Stamford Bridge at around 4.50 pm on Saturday was a scene of delirium and delight for Sunderland. A 93rd-minute winner from Chemsdine Talbi moved us up to second in the table and despite Chelsea dominating the ball, they never looked likely to peg us back. The atmosphere was up there with the best I’ve ever […]
There probably won’t be any 71-point blowouts come next week. Arizona finished up its preseason exhibition slate with a 113-42 win over Embry-Riddle on Monday night at McKale Center, a far less effortless victory than the one nine days earlier against Saint Mary’s. It was the last tune-up before the regular season opener Nov. 3 […]
In easily the craziest game of the season so far, the Utah Jazz pulled out a close win against the Phoenix Suns in overtime 138-134. The story of the game was Lauri Markkanen, who scored 51. It’s the first 50-point game for a Jazz player since Karl Malone in 1998. Markkanen showed that with high-level […]

Man City striker Erling Haaland collided with the post in yesterday’s 1-0 loss at Aston Villa. While it was clear just how much pain he was in afterward, the big Norwegian played on. So he is most likely not injured. The only update provided by manager Pep Guardiola after the game was: “Hopefully he is […] The post Man City Team News, Predicted Starting XI vs Swansea City appeared first on The Sports Bank .

The Denver Nuggets coming to town would typically be a welcome sight at Target Center for fans both watching in-person and on the Minnesota Timberwolves’ second nationally-televised game of the year. However, just five days after the season opener in Portland, it would prove to be the first complete game test for a banged-up Minnesota […]
The Spurs still have a perfect record in the 2025/26 season. After beating the Nets on Sunday, the Silver and Black took care of the Raptors with ease on Monday, defeating the visitors 121-103 thanks to a strong first half and some timely buckets in the fourth quarter. In the battle between two teams playing […]
The Washington Commanders were blown out on Monday Night Football, losing 28-7 to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Dan Quinn said he felt early, and going into the game, the “energy, the juice, the speed” and the minute they stepped on the field. Quinn lamented the amount of opportunities and chances they left […]
Behind a career-high from Lauri Markkanen, the Jazz sneak out of the Delta Center with their first overtime win of the season. Here are the grades from tonight. (Note on Grading Scale) All performances are relative. We won’t expect the same from Jusuf Nurkic as we do Lauri Markkanan. That said, if someone plays well, […]
After rushing from the Spokane County Courthouse to the McCarthey Athletic Center, graduate student wing Tyon Grant-Foster hit the court for warmups and received a loud ovation from the Kennel. The Grand Canyon transfer beat the NCAA and was granted a preliminary injunction. When Grant-Foster checked in for the first time against Western Oregon, the […]
I get it – no one cares about the stats after a loss. The big conversation early this week is how Caleb played vs how he needs to play for this team to consistently win football games and obviously another zero TD performance doesn’t help anything. However, I don’t think Caleb played as bad as […]
NJ.com | Manny Gómez: Yankees fans are a contentious bunch, who love to argue with each other, but if there’s one thing they pretty much all agree on, it’s that they universally dislike Aroldis Chapman, for reasons that are too numerous to discuss here. Well, the feeling is mutual. Speaking on a podcast this week, […]
Like a cold glass of iced tea (Unsweetened, what are you, from the deep south? Be a proper Texan.) on a hot Houston day, this game was the refreshment Rockets fans were craving. No more 1 point double overtime losses in OKC on their senior ring and letter jacket night, no more Jerry Sloan Rides […]

Poor penalty performance sinks opening playoff game.
Ayo Dosunmu: Most Improved Player? Wouldn’t be the first time we’ve said that about the Illinois legend in his NBA career, but this year it looks legit. After a 21-point outburst in the Bulls’ win over the Hawks on Monday, Chicago is 3-0 and Ayo is red-hot to start off year five. He’s averaging 16.7 […]
A quick look ahead to Manchester United’s winter schedule might not bear too much dread as United don’t have to navigate the Premier League fixture list on top of League Cup and/or European competitions this year. While it delivers a big hit on the club’s revenue, it gives manager Ruben Amorim and his squad more […]
