Sunderland burst out of the blocks this season and have been one of the Premier League's biggest stories. Energy, intensity, momentum — they've had it all. But are there signs that the pace is catching up with them? In this preview, we look ahead to Bournemouth vs Sunderland and ask whether the Black Cats are starting to run out of steam after their incredible start — and whether Bournemouth can take advantage at exactly the right moment - as they hunt down a European spot. We break down: ◼️ Recent form and underlying numbers ◼️ Squad rotation and signs of tired legs ◼️ Key tactical battles ◼️ Where Bournemouth can hurt them ◼️ Score predictions ◼️ This could be a massive swing game in the European race.

Eero, Zaza, and VS hear rumors about the Monastery of the Broken Blade (from itinerant mendicant Brother Aerelm), the Black Cats reactions to being blamed for the (other PC's) heist (from aspiring fixer Narder), and something about the Black Network emptying some warehouses (from fish broker Vinchenziana Moory). In the Llodown neighborhood they stumble across some ghouls and get into a fight - Eero goes down multiple times but VS saves him multiple times, which Eero attributes to the favor of battle-god Tempus. They seek out Lord Harrand Tormblade, a patron of the Abbey of the Broken Blade, who gives them a consignment of weapons to deliver to the Abbey. On the way back, they encounter crazed hermit-priest Dintoven of Waukeen digging in a garbage heap, which VS and Zaza eagerly help him with. VS recovers his cursed tongue and is praised for his service to Waukeen, accidentally discovering that he is a vessel of divine will for the second time that day.

Dave Stewart is a true music icon. Born in Sunderland in 1952 his first love affair was with football – dreaming of a career playing for the Black Cats, but a knee injury and his parents' divorce changed his entire outlook. Music filled a hole - despite a music teacher who described his dreams as ‘idiotic' it became his passion, inspired by his Dad's high-tech (for the 70s!) stereo system, a Robert Johnson blues album and some eye-opening teenage experimentation with acid.He signed to Elton John's record label shortly after leaving school and after several false starts he met Annie Lennox in 1976 and formed a band together called The Tourists – a pre-curser to the significantly more successful 80s project The Eurythmics .In the 45 years since then Dave has done it all – as an artist he's a Grammy winner, as a producer he's won multiple Brit Awards, as a song-writer he's won the prestigious Silver Clef award, he's won a Golden Glove for composing a song with Mick Jagger for Alfie and in 2024 he teamed up with Joss Stone to write a musical version of The Time Traveller's Wife. It's hard to put his contribution to music into context because his impact on popular music is so vast.Let me list just SOME of the artists he's produced, written for or recorded with:Paul McCartney, Bono, Aretha Franklin, Alison Moyet, Bryan Ferry, Sinead O'Connor, No Doubt, Jon Bon Jovi, Bob Geldoff, Bryan Ferry, & Stevie Nicks. In fact in 2011 he briefly formed a supergroup comprised of himself, Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Damian Marley and A.R. Rahman.He's one of the great innovators – in 1998 his album SlyFi became the first album to be released on the internet – it predates Google, and MySpace and Facebook wouldn't be launched for another SEVEN years.Now in his early 70s he continues to inspire – until Covid he owned and ran a creative members club in London, and through his production company Dave Stewart Entertainment he continues to push musical boundaries and work with some of the world's biggest names in music.Enjoy our chat with an icon.

Neville Cavendish puts together a crew for a heist, featuring Flip, Kain, Brimlad the Brawler, and the return of Lysander. A Goliath gang leader sends them on a city-wide scavenger hunt before taking them to Grathka Stonevein, who wants an important ceremonial ledger stolen from the Black Network. She has them meet up with her inside source and a strange wizard to aid their preparations. During the heist, a huge stone colossus rises up from a magical circle to do battle against the party. Narrowly escaping with their loot, the party help stage a scene to blame the crime on some of the guards and on a rival adventuring party, the Black Cats.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Broadcaster Russ Williams, Marlon and Luke as Ben Davies netted his first Spurs goal for over two years but it wasn't enough to earn us the win as Sunderland hit a late equaliser on Sunday afternoon. The Welsh defender was on hand in the first half to give us the lead on what was his first start of the season – his first goal since scoring in the 4-2 defeat at Brighton on 28 December, 2023. However, the Black Cats levelled with 10 minutes remaining through Brian Brobbey as we had to settle for a point in an entertaining encounter at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The draw in our opening home match of 2026 took our unbeaten Premier League run against Sunderland to 15 matches and leaves us 13th in the table. We also discuss the latest developments of Spurs during this summer transfer window, as Tottenham Hotspur have had an £8million ($10.7m) bid for Santos left-back Souza rejected. The Brazilian side have turned down Spurs' offer for the 19-year-old. Santos are hesitant to accept a bid for the teenager whom they have high hopes for and believe his value may increase in the future.

At the time of recording, Enzo Meresca was still the manager of Chelsea Football Club. And now, the tumult at Chelsea has been thrown into overdrive as the Italian manager has been relieved of his duties at Stamford Bridge. Nonetheless, a huge match between two title hopefuls could have massive implications on the league season. Should City win, pressure will remain on Arsenal and Chelsea will be relegated to a top four race. If Chelsea prevail, they may hold lingering beliefs that they could mount an unlikely title push. Elsewhere, Tottenham will welcome promoted Sunderland. After taking points off Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City, the Black Cats will look to do the same to Spurs. And can Burnley start to build a run that can see them survive for another season in the EPL? A trip to Brighton awaits Scott Parker's men.

Ste, Howard and George look back on a stressful but successful week, the title race, mentality and more, plus preview another difficult weekend match.

The weekend kicks off from Villa Park as Aston Villa welcome lead leaders Arsenal. A fixture that is usually a tightly fought affair will represent a chance for Arsenal to heap pressure on to the chasing pack. Villa, being a part of that chasing pack, would love to claw three points back against the first place team. Leeds will hope their heroic midweek victory against Chelsea can be replicated against Liverpool. Should Leeds take all three points, they will certainly feel like they can kick on and survive in the EPL into the next season. And Manchester City will welcome upstart Sunderland to the Etihad. Pep and Co will look to dispatch the surprisingly adroit Black Cats.

Two games unbeaten, but it hardly feels like a run worth celebrating. Against ten-man Sunderland, Aston Villa had over an hour to assert themselves and still contrived to look second best. Unai Emery called it “lazy” - and for once, the word fits.From powder-puff defending that gifted the Black Cats an equaliser, to attacking play that never once forced their keeper into panic, Villa's performance was a rancid watch. Possession stats may look healthy, but the reality was lethargic movement, predictable patterns, and wasted opportunities.This week's My Old Man Said Podcast digs into the identity crisis at Villa Park. Why, nearly three years into Emery's reign, does the starting XI still resemble the one he inherited? Has Villa's slick system simply gone stale? And why does every promising new signing need months to “learn the system” while results go begging?We also cover:The missed chance to put ten-man Sunderland to the sword.Emery's frustrations boiling over on the touchline.How ticketing shambles continue to test the patience of travelling supporters.Why Tony Pulis might just have been right all along.Is this a bump in the road, or the first cracks in the Emery project?UTVGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want ad-free advance versions of the shows and extra exclusive shows during the month and to join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club, please do support the show by becoming a MOMS Member.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberFollow the show on:X/Twitter at @myoldmansaid / Threads at @myoldmansaid / Bluesky at @myoldmansaid and join the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

The weekend brings a trip to the Stadium of Light and with it, plenty for Villa fans to chew over.In this Something for the Weekend edition of the My Old Man Said podcast, we tackle the mini-meltdown around Aston Villa's start to the season and ask whether patience is already in short supply.From the Carabao Cup exit to questions over Emery's squad strategy, we get into why the noise around “Emery Out” is nonsense, and why context matters when judging the bigger picture.We also look ahead to Sunderland, the youngest side in the Premier League under Régis Le Bris, and weigh up how their physical, Palace-like style could pose Villa problems. With memories of Benteke's hat-trick against the Black Cats in a 6-1 win recalled, we ask: can Villa find their spark again, or will this become another bruising away day?UTVGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want ad-free advance versions of the shows and extra exclusive shows during the month and to join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club, please do support the show by becoming a MOMS Member.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberFollow the show on:X/Twitter at @myoldmansaid / Threads at @myoldmansaid / Bluesky at @myoldmansaid and join the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.
