Maybe I didn't make it clear enough last week - I also write for a site called Bleacher Report. With it being an American site, Sunderland related topics aren't exactly popular so when I'm not posting on here, I submit general football articles there - usually relating to world football. Check out my article below on Lazy footballers - we've had a few of those at Sunderland, even recently. Chimbonda, (arguably) Djibril Cissé - it is almost as if the money in the game has taken the fun out of it for some players. |

The full-on modernisation of football and the so called Sky Sports generation of fans and players has seen the rise of a new and dangerous animal: the media-savvy footballer. Any Sunderland fan with a little bit of technical nous will have seen our boys are very well represented on Twitter, and it seems there is hardly a week goes by without some dim-witted footballer gets himself in trouble via the site. Whilst there are always going to be a few players who can’t get to grips with the modern media, some have already become incredibly crafty when it comes to the media. |

Welcome to 'outside of Sunderland'. In this, another regular feature in our ever growing blogging section, I will take a look at what is happening outside of our club. The outcome of the Manchester derby yesterday was probably one of the biggest moments in the history of the Premier League which I believe will shape the outcome of the title races of the unforeseeable future – a result which can be used as a measurement for how much football has changed in such a short space of time. If you throw money at a club, you can achieve things – Chelsea have already proven that. |
