Roy Keane revealed this weekend that every morning he wakes up and asks himself if he's the right man to take Sunderland football club forward.

TEEMU TAINIO is backing Sunderland& 8217;s foreign stars to help the Black Cats climb the Premier League table.

Anyone still labouring under the misapprehension that Stoke aren't a one-trick pony & 8211; and judging by the contents of my Inbox following

It's the third time this season that a supposedly inferior side have held Liverpool to a home stalemate, following identical results for Fulham and Stoke.

Dunn, delighted with a third-round draw that has given Blyth home advantage against Premier League strugglers Blackburn Rovers should they win the replay, now has to address the clubs league form.

The Reds are one point ahead of the Stamford Bridge outfit and six clear of Manchester United, though Sir Alex Ferguson’s side have a game in hand.

As long as Bracewell-Smith declines to sell her late husband& 039;s shares, the Russian and the American are unlikely to gain ultimate control. The arrival of Gazidis four months after Denver billionaire Stan Kroenke was taken on to the board may not....

Cristiano Ronaldo won the Golden Ball awarded to the European Footballer of the Year on Tuesday, becoming the fourth Manchester United player to take the honor and the first since fellow winger George Best in 1968.

The under-18s embark on their FA Youth Cup campaign in Leeds with some words of wisdom from the club's vice-captain, who won the tournament in 1996 after victory over a West Ham side including Frank Lampard and Rio Ferdinand.

After the hearing, Gordon, said: & 8220;To me, it would have been a disgrace if I had been banned for this one thing, especially when there have been people who have been on the pitch at games like Newcastle versus Tottenham and Celtic who have not b....
