Tifo ropes in the Roker End again
The social content at the minute is superb
Well, not like I needed it but that’s got me PUMPED.
The marketing, PR, social and media teams are not Premier League, they are Champions League. Absolutely phenomenal the change in the calibre of the clubs output and the way it touches us, hits the spot and fires us.
Watching that thinking ‘this is slick’ then it drops Wise Men Say and you are ‘and now it’s emotional’
Brilliant.
I’ve woken up this morning fresh, proud, excited, expectant and ready.
We have waited 8 years for something we tried for many years to kid ourselves we weren’t arsed about.
We’ve been kicked in the bollocks more times than a Korean wrestler but we’ve stuck together, we’ve stuck with the club, we’ve took thousands to Accrington and such, sucked up the abuse and coped with 3rd rate players and 5th rate chancers owning our beloved club.
I didn’t expect our knight(s) in shining armour to be a lad in his 20’s, a marketing whizz nicked from MLS and a French fella who’d just been relegated but here we are and I will be eternally grateful to all 3.
This day is for us all. Not just us in the stadium. Everyone in the City, those exiled, everyone who ever felt the joy, pain or occasional fear that being a Sunderland fan brings.
Win, lose or draw today let’s make it unforgettable. Let’s back the lads, let’s back the club,
Today, loud and proud, probably some tears, definitely some pride and laughter, all the ribbing, the shame: the depression and the pain is gone.
Let’s be loud, proud and Sunderland. Today we are back, we fully have our club back and nothing else matters.
Sunderland till we die. We deserve today.
The reason today happens was all because of this. Cheers Tommy, best leaving present you could've given us

Holy ****, the day is here.
Haway. ****ing Haway. ****ING HAWAYYYYY!!!!
Haway. ****ing Haway. ****ING HAWAYYYYY!!!!
I’m glad my lass is in bed cos I’m ****ing emotional this morning lads.
This wasn’t what I expected to be. Was expecting a bit in the stadium but not at 7am.
How deep did we bury how painful this journey has been? It’s over now.

Absolutely brilliant Absolutely all of this. Haway the lads. We are back.
I've had my quiet moment before everyone gets up. Had a chat in my head with dad while I was sat having a cuppa, hes told me to stop being a tart.
God knows what it will be like before kick off, im hoping the noise makes my ears bleed
PMT, couldn't sleep so up at 5:30. I've gone for the lads to win, but christ the pace of that game last night was incredible and I hope we can hit the ground running.
He be watching mate. With a sense pride like us all.
Just cos he isn’t here doesn’t mean this day isn’t for him too.
It’s for everyone who ever felt this unexplainable love we have for this football club that’s often caused us more grief than our women.
It belongs to us all, including those not with us. When you think of the old fella today, think how happy and proud he’d be of yourself and of the club.
Lovely words mate and words for everyone who's lost someone.
This is our club, our journey and as Xhaka said we are here to make history
Beautiful words mate. Must be lack of proper sleep cos my eyes started watering
Wee one was obviously excited as she barely slept last night
Was supposed to be on a stag today but having to run a training course on zoom for 8 hours so very jealous of you all going to the game
I will try and get a stream to watch in the background
Safe journey all

Mate I’ve filled up several times today at the clubs social output, at the absolute euphoria in the group chat, at the ****ing away top sat on dining table (wtf) and mostly at my Mam texting ‘enjoy today son you’ve waited long enough, love you x’
I’m not generally an emotional guy but I was at Wembley and I’m a wreck today. I’ll have it together by 10 when I leave the house
If anyone get Premier hub tv they've a superb segment on us in their programme
**** it I’m breaking my own match day rule and wearing a kit.
