There aren’t many seasons in Sunderland AFC’s history that don’t involve some sort of drama towards the end of a campaign, whether that be at the top end of whatever league we happen to be competing in, or at the ‘wrong’ end of the table. The 1980–81 season was no different, and it took a […]

In Opening Day preview, Mariners thrash Guardians, 20-8

So it turns out having a fully staffed team makes spring training games a little more fun to watch.
