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

Thanks again RTB for your outstanding MDT's, you really are the No1. I like your team , altho., I.would prefer a 3/5/2
Meph / Big Dan / O/9 .
Hume / Little Dan / Elf / Jobe / Cirkin .
Mayenda / Isidor .
Then unlesh Mundle and Rigg ,second half . no messing about with Roberts , extra time or penalties OaU to the stars.

 

I’d like Mundle to be unleashed on them from the off. Him and Mayenda on the attack can really rock a team. Same team that finished last time for me but Cirkin in for Hjelde.

 

Thanks @RTB for all your efforts through the season.. I'm chilled and happy to wait and see what team RLB decides on.He has a few options and its proved hard to second guess him.

 

Hasn't paddy got a knock?

can see him being on the benchm RLB doesnt seem to the type to risk a players fitness

Second Tier podcast with Sunderland

 

I can’t get through more than 15 seconds of these videos without getting too nervous and turning them off. Will probably binge them all Saturday morning in the airport

HAWAY YHE LADS !

Saw this one last night. Genuinely lovely stuff. Whatever happens at the weekend, this group of players are an absolute credit to their coach, the club and themselves. From where we were 5 years ago to where we are now, eh? Bloody hell!

 

Now that's what you call a welcome!

 

Just checked pitch sizes, and pleased to see you are correct marra

Was wondering how quick their defence is... good to hear that as well.

At the SoL, high ball, SU centre back panicked and miscued, Mayenda already at full speed (reckon he can see 5s into the future) took the ball leaving them behind and stuck it in the net

 

IIRC Sheff Utd gave away a penalty when Watson ran past them and had a man sent off when Isidor did the same on the halfway line ...

... we have pace so let's use it.

 

Question for other overseas supporters: Any idea of which "official" channels are showing the final in your area?
It's not on SAFsee, and the EFL iFollow thinks it's on BEIN sports in France, but the BEIN site doesn't list the game.
I think it's on CBSsports, via Paramount+ in the USA.
would just like a reliable link for the game.

 

I remember that Bob Murray insisted the pitch was the same size as Wembley, and also those at the Academy ..

 

Brilliant watch. Thanks mate and thanks for your MDT's throughout the season. They have been top drawer as always.

Wonder who the lass singing WMS is, beautiful haunting voice.
