    Sad, some so young as well.
    Hope Janey over the road has seen it.

    A Calling

    Can you hear them?

    The shipbuilder's hammer
    The picks upon the seams
    Drifting up from glories past
    Still harbouring foretold dreams

    The whispering of legends
    Still bleeding red n white
    The time is here, the time is now
    Time to put things right!

    The Roker Roar still lingers
    Carried upon the crowd
    Battered & bruised, but always
    Steadfast, loud & proud!

    Wembley holds no fear
    Just ask Papa John!
    We'll turn it into our home
    And roar our heroes on!

    This team has shown us metal
    We won't lie down & die!
    They'll fight until the grains of time
    Have ran the hourglass dry

    O Niens driving force
    Gooch's heart & soul
    Ross's movement off the ball
    Will, surely, bring us goals!

    Pritchard's golden passes
    Robert's silky skill
    The mazy runs of Clark
    Breaking Wycombe's will

    Pattinson's fingertip saves
    Evans midfield grit
    Bailey Wright, a man reborn
    This aussie takes no ****!

    Cirkin, Batth & Doyle
    Solid as they come
    Alex Neil moulding them
    To the beat of his own drum

    Matete,Embleton & Neil
    All, the real deal
    Broadhead's tenacious skill
    Scoring goals at will!

    So, come on!
    Can you hear them?

    Ashurst, Clough & Hurley
    Shackleton, Monty, & Kerr
    O Captain! Of My Captains:
    Raich Carter is forever there.

    Phillips & Quinn
    Henderson & Ball
    Are all part of this rallying call

    So, do not go gently
    into the night
    You are the team to put things right!

    Whatever happens lads
    Be proud you gave your all
    If you get us back where we belong
    In our history you'll all stand TALL!

    Good luck & love to all

    Ha'way the lads! FTM

    Talking to an old mate, last night, who used to stand on the Fulwell End with me.

    We were laughing and saying we're getting closer to being on 'the list'.

    I said I'd prefer to go before him to avoid the time, effort and cash to go to his funeral ...

    ... he said if we lose again at Wembley he'll beat me to it <laugh>

    I'd probably have Cattermole over Evans just, but that might be hazy memory on my part. Definitely big Jon in goal.

    I'd probably take 2019 McGeady over 2022 McGeady on the bench as well :D

    The rest I'm happier now.

    HA'WAY THE LADS MACKEMS ATTACKEM

    COOOOMON.



    Safe journey to all those traveling to Wembley and back.
    And hopefully a great day with a fantastic outcome for us all.

    Special thanks to
    @RTB for all the great match threads throughout the seasons.
    And one of the main reasons I emigrated from RTG. Although I will be going on there to post during this momentous occasion.

    Can we do the business tomorrow ?
    Yes we can. I've felt all along this was our year, unfortunately we had that blip and Johnson was gone.
    Fortunately we gained Alex Neil and I think we've hit the jackpot with him.
    We were left a mountain to climb and had to do it the hard way. But we are now one step from the peak.
    Let's take it.

    And fùck Wycombe, dirty shìthouses had their chance in the champo and blew it.
    We've earned this now.

    I'm hoping for an easy 3 or 4 nil win,
    And if by chance we don't make it, we're still a magnificent club with fantastic supporters.

    Wycombe say they've sold 23k of the 28k allocation.

    That's 5000 empty seats no matter where the blame lies ...

    ... that's an awful lot when there are Sunderland fans in London who'll be watching in pubs.
