Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Sheffield United – Championship Play-off Final - Saturday 24th May 2025 - KO 15:00

That’s what I put bud,

how pished are you already

 

Actually I didn’t put he scored the first goal against us

I’ve only had one drink

 

Covent Garden now

 

Any sign of Sheffield fans anywhere in London?

 

Christ. Terrific that.
Feel sick now. Want it for these players as much as us!

 

last minute corner again at 1-1, will Del boy be there by the way ?

 

I've just checked if there were an interactions on my Luke prediction.... now in not saying it's a sign.... but....

 

Not down mate, I’m barred, I’m the jinx, everytime I’ve been we have been beat, the only time we’ve won I didn’t go so I’m not allowed in the remote vacinity of London let alone Wembley when we are there, apparently according to mates, there was a little bit of bother when some Sheffield got a bit rowdy with some of our lot and got decked

 

Absolutely awesome thread again RTB and your final championship one. Thanks for all your efforts over the season.. Well the big one has arrived and whatever happens I've been so proud of the lads and the management team all season. Yes I will be disappointed if we lose but not downhearted because these lads have given everything all season and I'm sure they will give everything tomorrow. That's all we can ask. I'm getting ready to set off as usual with son grandson and son in law for one last dance at Wembley. See you all soon. Enjoy stay safe. Haway the lads. Til the End.

 

My team for tomorrow:

Patterson
Hume Ballard O'Nien Cirkin
Neil
Roberts Le Feè Jobe Mundle
Isidor
​

It'll be controversial I'm sure but this is the team I'd go with. We have to gamble on Mundle. The upside is just too big. If he only lasts 60-70 minutes then we bring Watson on. Le Feè in the middle gives us additional quality in there and allows for those through balls. Isidor over Mayenda just because I see them having plenty of possession and us having more chances on the counter which I think suits Le Feè feeding Isidor. I also think that if we're trailing and need to chase the game then they'll sit deeper and Mayenda can cause more impact than Isidor in that scenario. Mayenda maybe a man for penalties if it goes all the way too, but Isidor won't be.

My heart says it won't go that far and we'll win 2-1 in 90 minutes. Neil and Isidor the scorers.

If it doesn't go our way, I'll be gutted for a few days for sure but this has been a brilliant season and I'll be excited about the future of this club whichever division we're in.

 

So for those not lucky enough to be at Wembley tomorrow...where are you watching from ? I'll be watching in Mossel Bay South Africa....lets see where in the world Sunderland fans either living or on holiday will be watching from

 

I've read a bit about his dad before but it's a brilliant article in general.

He has to start centrally tomorrow for me. I think a player like that has his own destiny in his hands and the ability to make it happen for all of us.

 

This time tomorrow we could be a Premier League team. That's a scary thought considering where we were 3 years ago.
I'm not hugely confident but I know this group of players will give everything. Ha'way the ****ing lads.

 

I’m having a daddy daughter day which is a rarity, gonna head into town, and see where she fancies, somewhere I can sneak her a few drinks as she’s not quite 18 yet, keel square is looking good, just drove past

 

Best kind of days mate

 

Christ I hope we put this **** in his place tomorrow

We will. I fancy us.

 

I'm suddenly confident mate.

If we lose, I'm coming for you

 

I'm not crying....you're crying
