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

I’m the same

Know one thing for sure though, I’ll be devastated for a while if we lose on Saturday.

 

I will too (will help that I'm on holiday), but when I take a step back I'll still know we're in a good place with an exciting summer ahead.

 

I'm resigned to crying regardless of the result, but i promise i dont mind losing!

 

Good discussion, if you have time
Don Goodman a lot more positive than normal.

 

Informed by a reliable source that we have made an approach for Brazilian defender Jair Cunha.

 

no reason to doubt you but he only signed for Botafogo 3 months ago!!

 

So...

 

Their season runs March til December.

 

That would certainly be a statement, could become our Murillo but ****ing massive version.

Although no idea whether to believe any part of it - rumours are fun regardless.

 

He’s pretty ****ing good actually

 

Signed for €12m in Feb so not sure they’d be too keen to let him go or even think about it. Also I think this is the wrong thread for all this haha

 

the peter gaberial album?

 

What's the name of your source,???, I can check with a mate he is an english lad an agent working for 5 clubs in Europe and UK, but lives in San Paolo

 

My option for the fortune telling was Draw, after extra time with a win on penalties.

Experience tells me that SAFC will put me through as much tension as I can take, and yes losing in the shootout would be even worse, but I can not bring myself to forecast that

My consoling thought though, and this is personal to ME, is that it will be better th o have us winning in the Championship, than losing in the Prem, most games. Of course winning in the Prem would be best, but after all my years as a supporter, I tend to suffer recurrent attacks of REALISM.

 

I dreamt we won 9-1 of that makes anyone feel better?

it was against Stoke and Jayden Danns scored like so I wouldn’t put any money on it

 

Last day this week amongst Sheff Utd fans for me. I am presenting a picture of calm. The lads I work with are more wary than confident I would say.

 

I dreamt last night it was 2-0, Mayenda and ELF

 

I work with a Sheff Utd fan who is a ST holder and is going, and he thinks we win. He doesnt even want to get promoted
