Footie - sing when you're winning!

More of the same at the play off final!!!
I learn’t over the years it’s what supporting Sunderland is all about.
Nail biting in the extreme!

Spurs tonight. Am hoping we score 10 and be at Chelski's heels.
To be in the frame is as good as it gets for excitement as a supporter, and we have been. 'Which is nice'. UTV.


(Two will do though)

On the way home from Manchester after watching the mighty Shrimpers comeback last night against Rochdale, from 3-1 down on 73 minutes to 4-3 winners after extra time.

Having also bitten my nails all through Sunderland s injury time of extra time win against Coventry on Tuesday... I'm not sure I can take much more of this

Not quite "The Miracle Of Istanbul," but impressive by Sarf-end, all the same.

Well it would seem both the team and the manager have already downed tools and are playing like these games do not matter . Having already won the PL it is understandable but as a fan I want us to win . Not expecting anything from Mondays game against Brighton and think Liverpool may well get beat . Hope they get serious for the last game and make surebthey win to give home fans a good send off before they get presented with the trophy . Should be a good weekend for me as on the Saturday I am ggoing to see James Grant which will be very special as never seen him live before but own most of his albums .

I couldn't agree more about Liverpool easing off, but some of our so-called supporters have been annoying me even more with their "We've already won it, so nothing matters now" attitudes. I've been getting the hump with them on both Twatter and Bluesky. As far as I'm concerned, EVERY loss hurts, whatever the reason.

When a match is not consequential then its very rare to be able to find the extra determination that is sometimes required to win against a team that do need the points. Its not downing tools, its not even a conscious thing; you just can't replicate the jeopardy of having something at stake.

Sunderland lost their last 5 league games, and looked hopeless in the process. But once the money was on they found an exceptional effort against Coventry.

I have seen plenty of seasons when there was nothing left to play for in the last few matches. I would have been very happy if those 'dead rubbers' had been preceded by a title win.

There will be more dead rubbers now Crystal Palace have qualified for Europe.
