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.”

@Keir_Starmer Parents are more worried about the third world rapists you’ve allowed to roam our communities unchecked.

To be honest.

Gazza on whether Alex Ferguson would have got him under control if he had joined Manchester United.

Here’s the full clip again, showing Martinelli smacking the ball on Conor Bradley, then kneeing and pushing him off the pitch.

Disgraceful. Rancid. Call it whatever you want. But it certainly isn’t a surprise considering the club and manager he plays for.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I've been informed that the police will take no action on this death threat, again.

Lucy Connolly spends months in prison, yet vile specimens like Khalid who threaten those of us on the right get absolutely no punishment.

Two-tier Britain.

WHY IS KEIR STARMER CONCERNED ABOUT EGYPTIANS BEING "JAILED FOR THE CRIME OF POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA" AND NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE 12,000 BRITISH CITIZENS ARRESTED FOR POSTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA WITH 44 OF THEM IMPRISONED SINCE HE BECAME PM?
