Jobe Bellingham has signed a contract extension with Sunderland.

The Athletic previously reported that the 18-year-old midfielder had attracted interest from Premier League clubs Brentford and Crystal Palace.

However, the teenager has decided to extend his stay at the Stadium of Light, signing a contract extension that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2028.  (The Athletic)

Sunderland have scored three goals in the opening 24 minutes of a Championship match for the first time since September 2004 against Gillingham (3-0 up after 20 minutes).

Opta

wow didnt see that one coming

think I went to the wrong ground

Had to watch at home due to Covid....lots of good performances out there today...the likes of Cirkin ( if only we can keep him fit for most of the season )...Rigg ( lads gonna be a good un ) and Roberts ( nice to see him playing somewhere close to how he can ) but thought Bellingham was the best, had his best game in a red and white shirt today for me.

aye, glides round the pitch, had one of best games for a while.

Strongly linked with TWO supposedly decent strikers ...what's gannin on chor

selling Clarke to finance it, remarkably cheap too

Only two or three mill less than I expected M2...

Even taking the " low " fee into account there's some right pyschos on RTG losing their blob ....everyone ( sane that is ) knew that this was gonna be their MO ..they said as such when taking over...the big question now is whether we can invest that money wisely.

I have confidence they will now we SHOULD be moving into a level above recruitment wise.

Looking forward to seeing what Mundle can produce given a decent run in the team with better players around him.

just think  taken fust offer they've received, like selling a house, say for  300k , someone offers 200k and you accept.

Summat we'll never know M2 ...i'm not getting mesell all worked up over price.

Fingers crossed we can get this Simic in the building...like the look of him ( yes it's only youtube )

Been trying to think who'll be on penalty duty the morn ...any idea M2?

could be, think took them at Preston

I remember when we had a right footed winger playing wide left who would often cut in and put it in the far corner...oh for them days

Impressed with us yesterday M2...they never laid a glove on us

Don't think I have ever seen such a negative team as Burnley; I lost count of how many times they were attacking and they played it back to the keeper; you deserved the win

And now ya gonna believe us........

made  a lot of changes Burnely, even so, thought really poor, should have put game to bed early on.

Alese injured, nee luck that lad

Aye..fingers crossed it's only short term.

Strongly linked with another two midfielders today

only 2 days to go.....

Plenty of time man...we could go on a Roy Keane type splurge yet ...sign a new player every twenty minutes

kin hell man taken  nearly 2 years to sign a striker

Three strikers in the offing yesterday....24 hours later neen of them will be signing

" We just couldn't get things done "

Deffo thought we'd end up with another striker to go with Isodor....Mayenda isn't ready for me

me neither re Mayenda, read a report from  french journo re isodor, doesnt sound good. Think we will get  someone in thoughbut.

What does he say about Isodor?

doesnt rate him at all, thinks a bit lightweight and possibly temperament issues.  We shall see.

Ta..doesn't sound too promising

aye, hopefully it  might be the move he's been waiting for....

Overall looks a good window on paper but lets hope we're not looking back regretting that we left oursells short up front.....

Fingers crossed our first choice full backs stay relatively healthy anall...especially Cirkin cos he gives us so much balance out there and the drop off is large without Alese fit to cover him

11/10 to win at pompey ---seems a tad short?

I agree Dragon.

me too. bit short .

Lot of younguns on bench today .....surprisingly being a French manager he wants little to do with the Frenchies that were already here...sent two away on loan and the other two can't sniff the bench when it's full of bairns.

Then again i should of said lot of younguns in the team ...as per

watching brief from a betting perspective today

Alan Brown must be some age now!

wow 0-2 flying

11/10 looking good now

3

wow what a start 0-3

mackems flying

to the stewards room...

And now ya gonna believe us........

Beat neeone yet...

Gray hows the NFL book looking ?

Any value out there iyo ?

The only bet i've had so far Tracker is to back the Packers for plenty...aiming to back them to win 50 large ( not there yet but getting close ) ....been backing them since February in small amounts ( it soon adds up )....could be a year too early but balls to it

Can't see past first four in betting in NFC therefore i think dutching Lions and Packers @ 7 and 9 to against the other two to win NFC is decent.

Behind Chiefs in AFC is a minefield

I've been backing the Lions in small amounts but not to win 50 large.

I can see and like your Lions / Packer play.

Best of luck and let the fun begin.

Dont think I've ever fit into that Lions top I bought a few seasons ago.

I back them every year ( since '92 )..just thought i'd have a right go this year ....and you never miss the money betting that way

gray, saw Wilson for u21s, got good feet, silly booking though and went in on a 50/50 tackle just after, not a foul but a bit silly after just been booked.

I never saw it...hope he can do a job down the middle cos he'll be needed.

Lad seems owwer the moon to be here mind ....then again he has come from Russia

looks lively should be ok up front  would have thought.

Delayed start to the game,lasted another 20 mins or so, saw ravens TD before admitting defeat and hitting the pit.

#intrainingfortheshow

Just watched it ...good game

The new graphics after every replay were doing my napper in ...surely they can't stick with them

Think we'll win today but don't think we're a 1.71 shot

Aye M2... getting far too much praise from plenty of people...( you know if you're a Sunlun fan that a right kick in the knackers is due )

Sunderland have been winning at both half time and full time in their last 4 matches (Championship).that looks the value bet here 2.60 with 365

so far so good 0-1 ht

its the sunderland way

That first 25 minutes of the second half was by far the worst we've played this season...very poor goals to give away ( credit to Plymouth )

No way you could see that coming after watching first half...were we thinking it was too easy
