DOMINIC KING AT THE STADIUM OF LIGHT: They can't say they weren't told. In the shadows of the
Stadium of Light‚ there is a mural with
three words‚ in white paint on a black wall‚ that serves more as a warning than a slogan: 'Til The End.'
Sunderland may once have been pushovers but now they are a red-and-white fighting machine‚ a team that never knows when it is beaten. Their ability to climb off the canvas is compelling and‚ on a thunderous evening in the North East‚ they landed a blow to leave
Arsenal's eyes watering. This wasn't a fatal scoreline for
Mikel Arteta but the disconsolate way he trudged off after the final whistle‚ looking like a man who realised his pockets had been picked when putting on his coat‚ told you how he felt about it all.
