The Championship cometh: we start with Derby, end with Wolverhampton
Monsieur Salut writes: so now we know the who and the when of our Championship opponents for the coming season.

Sixer Says: the comic opera that is SAFC just now
Malcolm Dawson writes……..David Moyes might have been lured to the North East with false promises about a year ago but surely no self respecting potential candidate for the vacant manager’s office at the Stadium of Light can be under any illusions about which way the club is going.
