Sunderland AFC are a professional football team currently located at
The Stadium of Light, Sunderland. After 99 years at
Roker Park Sunderland felt it was time for a change and wanted to keep up with rivals Newcastle and their massive St James' Park.
Before WW2 Sunderland were champions 6 times- in 1892, 1893, 1895, 1902, 1913 and most recently in 1936, when they became the last football club wearing striped shirts to win the English football league.
They were elected into the football league in 1890, becoming the first team to join the league after its birth in 1888; and stayed in the top flight of English football until 1958, a record of consecutive seasons which only Arsenal have bettered in 1992. The club won their first F.A. Cup in 1937 with a 3-1 victory over Preston North End.
In the 2005-2006 season of the Premiersip Sunderland actually broke a record for the lowest tally of points in Premiership history only winning 3 games out of a possible 38.

Great game posts
If you have just had a sensational win or a great match write little match report on it as it shows more than a screenshot does.
Who should I sign posts
If you want help and advice on a new signing post as much information as possible – this should include at least your transfer budget remaining, wage budget remaining, bank balance, players already in said position, transfer targets and what type of player you want (e.g. a quick, strong striker that is under 24).
Help strengthening team posts
If you want help and advice regarding strengthening your team post your starting line up and formations, substitutes, your feelings on the team, positions you want strengthening, transfer budget, transfer targets and the type of players you want. If you include as much information as possible it is easier for us to help you.
Updates
If you are going to post updates, please keep it to three a season – end of pre-season, end of January transfer window and end of season. This will make the thread easier to use and less clogged up. Also if you try and only use screenshots in these updates otherwise the thread will be littered with screenshots. If you do want to talk about a signing either put it in one of the three updates.
Can you bring the days of the early 1890's to The Stadium of Light
