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

This club man, never dull wouldn’t change it for the world bring on the big dogs

 

Highlights on ITV have just started

 

Love this from the guardian

Sunderland may well return to the second tier next summer, but in the way they embraced their task at Wembley on Saturday was a reminder that the things wise men say are always there to be challenged.

 

Well done Anthony Patterson. Superb son

 

I've said exactly that just now. Man U are crap let's bring him home

 

These last 2 games. **** like this never happens to Sunderland. So pleased for the stalwarts who have endured pretty desperate times but have always been there till the end.

 

Well… everyone is up for sale

 

What an unbeleivable day. We've put up with so much crap over the years, but today was remarkable. It's easily my best day ever and makes up for it all. I'm not even thinking about the PL, I will enjoy this day for months. Hugging so many strangers, it only happens in football.

 

Apart from you lot costing us £1m today I think virtually everyone in Janner Land was rooting for you boys today. Great result and congratulations. (mainly because most of us can't stand Wilder).

Hope you do better than last season's promoted 3.

 

Unfortunately it's the same commentators as the game on sky, not sure what game they were watching but keep saying sheff utd dominated the whole game. Even though we had more possession, more shots, more corners, and scored more goals

 

Thanks Greeny.

What do you mean about the £1m? Some sell-on clause?

 

Can we also take a minute to realise how RLB just let the players celebrate. And just took it in.

 

In Royal Oak in Marylebone. Mix of both fans. Really lovely end to the day. Beer is quality

 

Should be buzzing, which I am deep down, but on a personal level I am so gutted I’m not there to experience it. I can only imagine the scenes when we scored were Coventry but better.

Just watched the quick highlights Sky put on YouTube and two great finishes. Can’t wait to watch the full 90. Over the moon for Watson signing off like that. Roberts great assist too, perfectly weighted pass but THAT finish from Mayenda. Cool as ice. Fancied him to be the main man today I’ve no idea how he faired for the rest of the game but that finish alone had to put him up there. Great seeing O’nien down the touchline celebrating the first he will have been devastated to see the best season of his career to date end like that but the result more than made up for it. What a bunch.

 

Patterson transforming into the ghost of Gordon Banks, Pat Roberts changing the game and Tommy Watson scoring the winning goal! If you ever needed evidence that we are living in a simulation...**** me!

What. A. Day!

 

Good night you wonderful lot,

today has been brilliant.

same again in August?

Michael cooper promotion clause probably

 

14.00 when Luke O'Nien spots Graeme Murty in the crowd. Bring a tear to a glass eye
