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.”

Early Leavers: I know you can do what you want etc, that isn't in dispute so we don't need another argument about it.

But today, could you please consider making an exception? Brave the traffic, get home later. This once? The players deserve a proper post-match send-off #SAFC

[Roker Report @RokerReport]

There are football matches, and then there are days that can define a generation. Sunday is one of those days.

For months, this team has fought for every point, every tackle, every moment. They’ve given us memories we’ll talk about for years — nights under the lights, limbs in the stands, late winners, impossible moments, togetherness like we’ve not seen in decades.

Now it comes down to this.

One final home game. One final push. One chance to drag this football club somewhere it hasn’t been in over fifty years.

European football is within touching distance.

But this is Sunderland. Nothing comes easy. If we’re going to get over the line, the players need the Stadium of Light at its absolute best.

Not quiet.
Not nervous.
Not waiting for something to happen.

Relentless.

Get into the city early.
Line the streets for the team bus.
Fill the ground before kick-off.
Wear red and white.
Scarves up. Flags out. Voices gone by full-time.

Make Chelsea feel every tackle. Every chant. Every roar.

This club has always been about more than what happens on the pitch. It’s about the people. The city. The noise. The passion. The belief.

For ninety minutes, forget everything else. Back the lads. Push them forward. Carry them if we have to.

One more effort.
One more result.
One more memory.

’Til The End.

HAWAY THE LADS. ❤️🤍

Pep Guardiola clearly doesn’t fancy facing Régis Le Bris’ wizards after another summer transfer window.

Can’t blame him, to be honest.
