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

Was there mate but did not see you What a result

 

Summer is going to be insane

 

he was outstanding today mind

actually outstanding

two unreal saves

 

One other thing, and bear in mind I didn’t see the game.

Regis picked the team I would have picked and then made daring and proactive subs that changed the game. Perfect from him. I love the man.

 

We were at the back. I’ve said before that I’m not emotional but I had a few tears when that whistle went.

Anyone bothered about the five meaningless games we lost? ...

... thought not

 

And like that, history was made. Hope we go on to achieve some moments that we can only dream of. But for me, this will never be topped. Side by side with my grandad. First time he saw us win at Wembley.

To KLD to RLB, to this group of ‘kids’ you gave me a timeless memory for life. Thank you.

Off to celebrate. Enjoy your night lads, we did it, we ****ing did it.

 

Said it on a different thread,
But to those that doubted KLD, KS, RLB & co,

don’t you look silly

 

Also Chris Sutton can FO

On 606 saying well be lucky to get 10 points next season

 

Right lads and lasses. I’m off to bed. It’s nearly 2:30am here. Enjoy the celebrations and remember…we are Sunderland.

 

I was trying to look cool but a 55 year old hooligan is not that pretty.

 

he’s just trying to get Sunderland’s fans to phone in. It’s his job. Let them all talk. I like being the underdogs anyway

 

CONGRATULATIONS. What a way to do it

 

Always been a twat and always proved wrong, wouldn't take any notice of the twat

 

Love this line in the athletic match report..

For a start they are young. Very young. The average age of the XI that took to the field at Wembley was just 23 years old. When former Bournemouth defender Chris Mepham, who played 61 times in the Premier League, came off the bench in the first half, he took the total amount of Premier League appearances in the Sunderland side to… 61.

 

And lowered the average age

 

He finally got it right today , a lot of us have been saying it all along, but better late than never, the injury to Hamer was a massive blow to SU , as was O/9's for us, but our subs were much better , VAR also saved our bacon , at 1-0 we were always in the game and we were by far the better team in the second half, the late goals again proved decisive. a special mention here to our super subs one assist and one goal absoloute joy.
