Sunderland to face Hearts

Wed 10 Jun, 02:10 PM


Sunderland will travel to Edinburgh to play Hearts as they put the finishing touches to their preparations for the new Barclays Premier League campaign.

Steve Bruce's men will take on the Scottish Premier League side, who finished third behind Rangers and Celtic last season, at Tynecastle on Saturday, August 8.

The game, which will see record signing £9million Craig Gordon return to his former club, will take place just a week before the Premier League gets under way once again.

Sunderland will earlier take part in the Amsterdam Tournament along with Ajax, Atletico Madrid and Benfica.

  1. Cameron (post 51), as I have posted elsewhare ...­ "we all have our off days, just getting a­ bit­ tense - I'm hoping and praying (even though­­ I'm an Atheist)that the alleged imminent­­ appointment of Shearer as top dog Skunk is not another­­ one of our wind-ups. If you were to appoint some-one­­ decent then there would be the start of a nagging­ doubt­ in my mind that you might get promoted. With him­ (and­ the illustrious Dowie, lets not forget his­ superb­ footballing tactical brain)in cahrge I can rest­ easy -­ you will remain a Championship side, unlkes the­ wheel­ comes off big time and League One beckons!"

    you're on the thinnest of ice­ banter-wise; skirting right on the edge of what can be­ deemed as 'banter' and what can be termed­ 'bile'.
    The self-proclaimed wind-up master is­ losing it big-time methinks; if you can't take it,­ you can always exit these pages ho, ho, ho!!

  6. sr.melvin (45), you are sooooooooooooo funny (in your­ own tiny mind anyway). And if you take off your Doon­ Ale beer goggles, that ridiculous bar-code shirt with­ the beer stains down the front and do a bit of­ travelling you would realise that there are pretty­ girls, less pretty girls and not very pretty girls­ wherever you go. Stop trying to be a poor man's­ Freddie Shepherd, you're not very good at it.

  7. Tony (41) No worries mate, you're a Mag, I­ wouldn't expect anything else. Don't get too­ upset though, I'll continue to agree with you (and­ say so, as I have done previously) on the odd occasion­ you talk sense.

  9. The Hawkmeister. HAVE YOU TRIED UN PLUGGING YOURSELF­ AND THEN SWITCHING YOURSELF BACK ON AGAIN? SOMETIMES A­ RE BOOT DOES THE TRICK............ NOT SO LONG AGO YOU­ GOT RELEGATED WITH 19 POINTS. DID YOU HAVE ANY WISE­ CRACKS TO SHARE WITH US ALL THEN? THOUGHT NOT!

  10. APPARENTLY safc's NEW OWNER, Ellis Short, BEING AN­ AMERICAN, WOULD LIKE HIS NEW ACQUISITION TO TAKE ON AN­ AMERICAN STYLE TEAM NAME. HIS SUGGESTION, IT SEEMS, IS­ " SUNDERLAND BROWNS " WHO HE KNOWS, DISPITE­ WHATEVER HE GIVES THE CLUB TO SPEND ON NEW PLAYERS,­ WILL ALWAYS BE
    SH I TE. HE ALSO INTENDS TO RE NAME THE­ HILARIOUSLY NAMED " STADIUM OF LIGHT " TO A­ MORE APT' " STADIUM OF SH I TE ." THE­ MAN'S ALREADY SHOWING THAT HE RECOGNISES THE­ CLUB'S STANDING IN ENGLISH " SOCCER. "­ reuters news agency

  12. safcalssmb.

    As i have received a warning from yahoo­ about my un-gentleman like conduct i'll keep this­ polite.....you are a rotter of the first order and i­ strongly disagree with you.

  13. Brilliant comment, Hawkmeister. Heh, I was behind­ enemy lines on Saturday night down the Quayside, my­ round came up so I went to the bar - pints all round­ and a soft drink for the nominated driver (very­ responsible us lot), barman nearly cried when I asked­ for "a coke, one of those special edition Coca­ Cola Championship versions"!! Boy did we laugh­ though. Could have been risky but it turned out the­ place was full of Mackems anyway!

  14. OOH 2 days to go until the new season fixtures are­ announced!

    I wonder when we'll be playing­ Newcastle.

    Oh one minute...

  15. Cameron, re: your cooment 46, I'll give you the­ benefit of the doubt and take what you've said as­ bravado and not arrogant delusional fantasy that Tony K­ clearly suffers from, like so many other Skunks. If­ your average Mag could turn it down a notch and show a­ little less capricious myopic short-termism you might­ just win something (that said, I was over the moon when­ you chased Big Sam out of town as he was the man who­ might have got you some silverware, but you lot would­ rather lose 4-3 than win 1-0 - and didn't we all­ love that when you blew the title in '96(!) -­ you'll never ever learn).

  16. Tony I've said before I don't like the sound of­ your cousin and now you tell us he has rectal insertion­ problems,cmon man have a bit of decorum,keep family­ problems to yourself,talk about airing dirty­ washing.What's next? your grandad's an SAFC­ supporter,no shame ha ha

    ok here we go.
    safc to be in a relegation­ scrap AGAIN, but will just scrape through AGAIN!
    NUFC­ (if they are sold in time) runaway Champions of the­ Championship.
    2010/11 season: normal service is­ resumed.
    Fact and you know it, that's why you have­ reacted in the very, very, VERY OTT way you have­ (comment-42).
    Take a chill pill man!

    From downy100, on Sun 14 Jun 10:14AM

  19. Cameron, yet more bull fro you. It will be interesting­ how much the Doon's (alleged) massive support has­ reduced when the new season starts and how quickly­ (and how much) it dwindles further as the defeats start­ mounting up. Sale of seats for the corporate boys and­ boxes are likely to reduce by 25-50% and the word is­ season ticket sales are expected to be piss-poor until­ Ashley has finally sold up, at least - and this could­ potentially be after the new season has­ started!).
    Prediction for season 2009-2010 and you can­ pass this on the Tony Fact: Sunderland to finish mid­ table 10th- 12th; Boro top 6, possibly automatic­ promotion; and Skunks mid table, 12th - 14th (but on­ behalf of all Mackems I'll state here my wish that­ the Skunks score a relegation spot - perhaps then their­ self-opinionated, egotistical smug arrogance will be­ consigned to history, although I don't hold up much­ hope on the latter).

  20. Tony, its not facts you full of, you're 100%­ constipated!
