No wonder Paul Merson, Tony Adams etc hit the ale hard.
Imagine sitting in a boozer with Lee Dixon for hours.
You'd need pre-drinks just to brace yourself for a "Hello lads"

@brucemillington @geoffbanksbet Geoff hasn’t said that burning houses is fine

@Keir_Starmer “ The scenes in Belfast THE NIGHT BEFORE last night were shocking and completely unacceptable.”

It’s on your watch Starmer and you are responsible.

The most unbelievable thing that happened yesterday was Ballard phone getting a signal in the ground. Mine never worked all season

@Fkersh1994K You hungover Fred?

[Luke O'Nien @LukeONien]

EUROPA LEAGUE was never the dream.

Not because I didn’t want it.

Because if I’m being honest, I never thought it was possible.

What kid would?

Especially when 12 years ago I was playing non league football in the Ryman Premier and Conference South, just trying to stay alive in the game.

What kid dreams about Europe when, two weeks into the off season, his dad has to tell him he’s been released by Watford F.C. over the phone?

I was heartbroken.

My dad looked at me and said:

“What are we doing tomorrow?”

To which I replied with the words he’d drilled into me my whole life:

“We’re training, Dad.”

So we trained.

Every single day.

My dad emailed every EFL club asking for an opportunity.

One club replied.

One.

That was all I needed.

An opportunity.

@WealdstoneFC and @wwfcofficial , I’ll always be indebted to you.

Then came the move to @SunderlandAFC .

A massive club.

A massive opportunity.

And I couldn’t wait to prove myself.

But 45 minutes into my debut… hooked.

“Rabbit caught in headlights. Waste of money. Get rid.”

Then came the Championship.

“He’s not good enough for this level.”

Then the Premier League.

“Let’s give him a debut and then get rid of him.”

I understood the doubt.

I’ve faced it my whole career.

And truthfully, you doubt yourself too at times.

But I’ve always tried to live by one mindset:

Outwork your doubt.

You don’t always need to see the full journey.

You just need to take the next step.

Then the next one.

And then another.

Even when social media tells you you’re not good enough.

Even when the voice inside your own head whispers the same thing.

Keep working.

Keep learning.

Keep showing up.

Because sometimes the places you end up are bigger than anything your younger self could’ve ever imagined.

To any young player reading this, don’t put a ceiling on yourself too early.

You genuinely have no idea where this game and life can take you.

And to the boys… thank you.

You removed the glass ceiling I’d placed on myself.

What a team.

What a club.

What a fanbase.

Sunderland… rocking all over Europe ❤️🤍

And in the words of Granit Xhaka:

“This is just the beginning.”

[Sean Chater @nufcsean]

Hope every fucker who wanted the derby back are absolutely delighted with themselves right now. Fucking cunts.

[george @StokeyyG2]

What a brilliant idea 👏🤣🤣🤣

[N O R D I @NordiMukiele]

[Ian Darke @IanDarke]

Regis Le Bris is Manager of the Year, taking a Sunderland team tipped for relegation by everyone into Europe. Astonishing.

Mags….
You’re going down with record low points,
The Derby’s will be cricket scores,
You’re not on our level,
We don’t know any of your players

Sunday 24th May 2026
Sunderland chase Europe
Newcastle chase Sunderland

Funny owld season whatever happens today churs x❤️

[Alan Myers @ALANMYERSMEDIA]

Btw @SunderlandAFC fans the best away support at Hill Dickinson stadium all season (even before they were level) 👏👏

[Adam Jones @Adam_Jones94]

Moyes can talk the talk all he wants about Europe, but sticking with a back four which is constantly conceding easy goals is just absolutely baffling

Haven't deserved anywhere near Europe with these performances in the last few weeks

[John @Ramma_____]

Get on the weights Tarkowski

You’ve been. Brobbied
