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

I've been Patto's biggest critic, but he's just got us to the Premier league.

 

Not a dig at 09, ive never said negative towards him but preferred Ballard & Mepham. Check my posts, ive complemented 09 quite a lot for being Mr Sunderland but we are allowed to have opinions.
Ive said if 09 to play for us he needs to play as a holding MF like Dan, everyone should play their natural position,

 

I just want to see them interview
Wilder now

Prepared this last night as I felt it was our time, I hope you like it.....

 

I have to admit mate, when we went 2-0 down i switched it off and saw my arse. Said to the mrs, I can't watch but hopefully we get back into it 2nd half.
Youngest Daughter txt saying the goal was disallowed and I was straight back on it


I said to the Mrs we'd grow into the game. Posting the black cats for both goals lol , just magical.
I'm currently going through a list of lads i know who txt saying we wouldn't do it. Leaving a plastic mag prick till last
He who laughs last. Laughs the longest

This has made my fooking year

 

Not gonna happen

 

Club has ALOT to do for next seaon now.

 

Something about rotation, resting, having more energy and momentum

we are premier league

reg le bris I love you

over and out

 

that’s not even a tomorrow problem, it’s a next week problem. Enjoy this.

 

I am mate.

 

Now announce the promotion parade.

 

Absolutely incredible feeling. I was confident even at 1-0 down but I still had a feeling of total disbelief when Watson scored.

We deserved it too. For those of you who went to Wembley, you created an incredible atmosphere, supported the club until the end and witnessed an incredible day.

For those of us that had to endure the sky commentary, it was the double whammy of Goodman and Hinchcliffe. They were absolutely clueless. They were completely blinded by the scoreline for the second half until the goal and couldn't see that we were controlling more of the ball and were much better.

RLB got his substitutions absolutely spot on. He's made bold decisions in all 3 playoff games and they've come off. He's done a fantastic job.

Anthony Patterson was motm for me. That save in the first minute was Banks-esque and the one with his feet from Brooks was equally as important.

Hume's tackle on Brereton-Diaz was a thing of beauty, almost as good as the goals.

Mayenda is the coolest player on the planet. A man made for the big ocassions. He'll score 10 goals next season easily.

Watson's goal was such a beautiful placed shot, keeper didn't have a chance. He's made this club £230m.

Roberts did a superb job when he came on. Many of us have been critical at times of him and his time as a Sunderland regular might be over, but he's been a huge part in our revival from League One.

What a team. What a club. What a Season.

Til The End. Ha'way the lads.

 

Couldn’t bring myself to watch the match but have said all season these kids don’t know when their beat and they proved it on the biggest stage.
Enjoy this moment lads, the future will take care of itself.
Well done the manager, staff but most of all these young kids. HTL.

 

It’s the small things but next season on Sky when live it’s going to have our badge top left corner instead of “SUN”

 

Heading to the Argyall now if anyone is about

 

Feels like we won a cup. Instead we have just won £220 million. Next year might be tough but with proper structure and management we have just changed SUNDERLAND AFC for the next 10 years..

 

Lads I can’t even. Just got on the tube, can’t wait to read this thread back.
HAWAY

 

Wow wow wow. Everyone wait until you see Patterson save from Moore in the first few minutes back.

Im drunk and biased but it’s there with Monty. It’s world class. Save of the season

 

We only went and bloody done it! And I am absolutely done in!

****ing get in the Lads!
