Sunderland’s Unexpected Success
What Sunderland done in the EFL Championship this season is pretty amazing tbh. With Regis Le Bris running things, the team has done way better than anyone thought they would and got 4th place. Shows how good they really are when you think about how Opta said they only had like 0.9% chance of finishing in the top four before the season started.
