Match Day Thread Sunderland AFC v Coventry City – Play-off Semi Final 2nd leg Tuesday 13th May 2025 - KO 20:00

Nice to see you mate. Agreed, too. We haven't been at it. Feel Coventry were the better team however, we dug in and got that last minute moment. Absolute scenes. Unbelievable atmosphere.

Hope everything is sound.

 

I had one pint ONE and I’ve never felt so hungover, absolutely drained after that but my god was it worth it, this club will be the death of me and I wouldn’t have it any other way

 

That's the thing with this team, they know how to dig in

Would have liked more control in the game but I understood the occasion was so big that it was just about getting the job done.

Loved how we looked with Mundle LM and Le Fee in the middle

Hope the presentation goes well

 

I'd like to say the better team won, that's true considering the talent in the side, but, they weren't firing on all cylinders. That game could and should have been put to bed earlier on, the breakaways we had and didn't exploit was frustrating. On saying that...

Tell me ma me ma
I'm gonna be late for tea
I'm gannin to Wembley
Tell me ma me ma

 

Be limping go the fecker. Stupid celebrations

 

Good Morning you wonderful lot.

 

As stated earlier I am in a hotel in Coventry. When that ball went in off Ballards head, neck, shoulder or back the scream of joy that came from my lungs scared the **** out of the lot of them n a few even said I owed them a pint as they dropped theirs. The curse has gone. Fkn yippee.

 

listen to Frankie man

 

Decent that. Never in doubt

Football man. Bloody hell. NEVER GIVE UP

 

Never say die attitude got us over the line by the skin of our teeth, didn’t like to see us dominated possession wise over both legs like that but it’s the ball in the net that counts and we put it in the net more than they did. Couldn’t be more proud of the team and the club at the moment, the atmosphere sounded amazing too.

 

cheers,

crying again before a meeting

 

Good to hear from you. Hope all is well.

 

We are not bitter

 

Cause all of the stars
Are fading away
Just try not to worry
You’ll see them someday
Take what you need
And be on your way
And stop crying Frank Lamparrrrrrrrrrrd

 

Aye.

 

I’ve been up since 4:30am over here. It’s now 2:45pm. I’ve been buzzing all day. I had to follow the game on the BBC and on here after 85 minutes because my stream just went. Resigned myself to penalties but someone posted the little dancing fella and I knew. Constantly refreshing for someone to post full time. Then I was texting my son who’s in the navy and in WA with his squadron. He was watching the game on BeIN and reckons that when Ballard scored his celebration would have woken the whole accomodation block up.
I then got a text from a Coventry supporting mate. Simply said “bugger”.
Went for a swim at 8am and for the entire 40 minutes all I was thinking about was the game, that goal and the win. This bloody club will be the death of me.
Anyway, good morning.

 

Same mate, had 2 beers really early before the match and I'm struggling to get ready for work.

I feel shattered, massive headache, emotional...it's like I broke up with someone and went on a bender!

 

The atmosphere was class last night mind. Been a while since I seen it like that. Until the last kick.

The scenes when in!
