Sunderland wins promotion to Premier League

[BrummerStealsHome]

Relegated from the Prem in 2017, then relegated from Championship in 2018, and languished in League One for four seasons. Now the Black Cats have fought there way back up to the top tier, and will restore their fierce rivalry with Newcastle United in the Tyne–Wear derby.

Hopefully they can do better.

Joey Altidore played there right?

A great story for sure, glad to see them back in the Prem!

Jozy Altidore did play there, though without much success. The last 20 minutes of that match was pretty incredible (even though the game winner was scored by a home grown product that has already committed to Brighton).

I like having Sunderland around, they had some decent sides in somewhat recent history, but I think they'll be back down to the Championship next season. Nice payday though.

The Sunderland - Newcastle matches should be stellar.

For sure. Spilt lager, Large men without shirts, horses getting punched, etc...

Jozy Altidore had little success there.

Nobody questioned that he did.

Their nickname is the Black Cats I believe.
