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

Cracking goal from Watson, take a bow Patrick Roberts, gets a lot of stick but changed the game when he came on

 

I think a lot of people drew the wrong conclusion about Watson

 

The game should be refereed on the pitch. It getting refereed in an office in god knows where is insane. Not looking forward to VAR next season. A proper buzz kill.

 

Oooh yes.

 

Le Fee.

 

Excellent post, especially the bit about Gooch with resonates with me. Our first season down in league 1 was the bairns first season ticket. That first game against Charlton when Goochy got the late winner had him hooked. Trips to Rochdale, Wycombe etc followed, as well as home Pizza cup games against u21 sides with just the East stand open. Emerging talent was being given away for peanuts, Fast forward a few years and BOOM, we are back at the top table thanks to KLD, Speakman and others who have a plan.

The futures bright, the futures Red and White.

 

So pleased we didn't sign Diaz in January didn't think he was what we needed

LOVED Hume's tackle on him, wins the ball and puts him in the air

 

Not sure if I posted this but **** me! Just got back to the hotel. I was crying, hugging randomers, nearly ended up on my arse over the chairs.

WE ****ING DID IT. 8 LONG ****ING YEARS

 

Can’t stop laughing….VAR and Watson…could have wrote the script…lol….faint hearts win f*ck all…..HTL!!!!!

 

First assist I remember in a while. You’re right though he did well.

 

I love VAR now

 

I said yesterday if there was any romance left in football,Luke would score. Now Luke didn't score, but Watson scoring was romantic. See you next season Mr Watson.

Literally ended his season with a fair tackle.

 

What different highlights?

 

Aye.

He ****ing loved it at the end.

I still scratch my head a bit at why he left if I'm honest. If I was 19 at my boyhood club I'd think I've got another few years before I need the big, big money and the move to a higher level!

But I can say that I'm just a fan, not a footballer. I know all about it and can talk ****e all I want I'll never be in that situation and have to put money where my mouth is.

Never mind what the lad is a legend now!

Looked in decent nick aswell, looks a skinny lad but was anything but when he pulled the shirt off to celebreate.

 

I’m ****ing steaming and will tell everyone forever that my middle name is Thomas after Watson, don’t care how disinterested he looked at Bristol, thank you Tommy, always welcome back

 

Don't care what ex pros say, from 35 mins we were the better team, we all know sky have an agenda with us due to their love in with the unwashed. We deserved that as we were clearly the better team with more possession

 

Also first time we’ve won at Wembley in our away kit
