Reports this morning suggest that Titus Bramble could be making a switch across the pond.
Paolo Di Canio has delivered a savage indictment of the professionalism of the Sunderland players who have wasted and abused Ellis Short's backing. I, for one, couldn't be happier about it.
Yes! The season is finally over. Time for some immediate reaction to that brilliant news and the 1-0 final day defeat to Tottenham.
For the final time this season we dish out some reviews on the players' performances in red and white. Who had one last hurrah and who fizzled out? Find out our opinions here!

Paolo Di Canio is not the first Sunderland manager to be given seven games to save our season. In 1995, Sunderland sacked Mick Buxton, replaced him with Peter Reid and handed him exactly the same task. Here's how it panned out...
Last night was an interesting one for Sunderland fans as we got a glimpse of how disappointed the players are in their performances this season and how they acknowledge their poor form. No wait, that's not what happened at all...
Some football snobs believe Wigan have offered nothing in the Premier League, ignoring how they're a wonderful example of how to over-achieve in modern football. After all, Dave Whelan didn't take the ultimate plunge in my dream for nothing.

Danny Rose and Connor Wickham have both been called up for this summer's Under-21 European Championship in Israel.

Sunderland inched ever closer to Premier League safety on Sunday afternoon, but could not secure the three points that would have confirmed their survival against Southampton. A 1-1 draw was more than the Black Cats deserved...
Wigan travel to Arsenal tomorrow night and we need the Gunners to do us an almighty favour. They themselves need to win though, and there's plenty of reasons to feel confident that they will beat Wigan, so stop all your worrying ok?
A bleak season on Wearside came to a frankly fitting end with a dull and uninspired 1-1 draw with Southampton - a result which makes Arsenal fans out of us all. Here is what we made of it.
