Nightmare on Wearside: Sunderland’s decade from hell

The good people of Sunderland have been through a lot. Viking raids. The rise of Korean shipbuilding. Spunking £6m on Jozy Altidore.


But nothing could prepare them for the last decade.


The club sank to the third tier, enduring noncing wingers, stars behind bars, and fans defecating in their seats.


As the Black Cats return to the Premier League, this is the story of a Nightmare on Wearside…


With guest @georgeaireycomedy
