To any young kid reading this…

I’ve doubted myself in every league I’ve ever played in.

Ryman Prem.
Conference South.
League Two.
League One.
Championship…

And even right before my first Premier League start last night.

That’s not weakness.
That’s being human.

That’s being alive.

When I was growing up, I thought Premier League players were superhuman.

Like they never felt doubt.
Like they never felt nerves.

The truth is…. it’s often the opposite.

Social media won’t tell you that sometimes you step out there with no confidence. That’s normal. That’s ok!

You now have to then step out there with courage.

Confidence feels good.
Courage doesn’t.

But you do it anyway. Show courage enough times…. You build confidence.

Here’s the mindset that’s carried me for 31 years.

When it goes well:

I worked for it.
I earned it.
Well done.
Watch it back.
Get better.

When it doesn’t:

I know I prepared the best I could.
It didn’t go exactly to plan. That’s football.

But Well done.
Watch it back.
Get better.

That simple recipe gave me a special moment last night.

Leading the team out.
Playing alongside a group that fights for every ball.
Celebrates tackles.
Gives everything for the city of Sunderland.

And sharing it with supporters who never gave up, even after four tough seasons in League One.

So if you’re a young player feeling doubt…
Low confidence…
Or like you don’t believe in yourself…

You’re not alone.

Every player feels it.

Confidence isn’t something you’re given.

It’s something you build.

Bit by bit.
Day by day.
With courage.
With work.
With learning.

Anything worth building takes time.

But that’s what makes it so worthwhile!

Thank you @SunderlandAFC ❤️🤍

Happy Birthday Giuseppe Signori 🎂

Lazio signed him in 1992. He was top scorer in Serie A in 1992/93, 1993/94 and 1995/96.

In total he scored 126 goals in 195 games for the club ⚽️

[Luke O'Nien @LukeONien]

The referee’s about to blow the final whistle at Wembley.

Noise everywhere.

Chaos waiting to erupt.

Sunderland seconds from getting back to the Premier League.

And in that tiny moment before it all explodes when everything goes quiet in your own head, Dan Neil puts his arm around me and says:

“Luke… lift it with me. It wouldn’t feel right unless you’re right next to me.”

That hit me 🥹

A lad who grew up dreaming of this club.

Who carried its weight when things weren’t easy.

Who became captain not by shouting
but by how he shows up every single day.

He didn’t have to say that.

No one would’ve questioned it.

But that’s Dan ladies and gents!

Humble in the biggest moment of his life.

Aware of the people beside him.

Grounded enough to share what he’d earned.

That’s leadership.

That’s character.

That’s why this club is back where it belongs.

Proud doesn’t even cover it.

An unbelievable footballer, but an even better man.

Dan Neil… thank you my friend…. For everything ❤️🤍

[VERSUS @vsrsus]

When will England be ready for a Black superstar?

The mainstream English football media has long had this self-defeating obsession with belittling its own stars. Enter Jude Bellingham.
