@AaronHRamiro Are you actually OK? spending so much time on a non story! Move on and try to fabricate another narrative.

[Graham Morrison @gmo1976]

@AaronHRamiro And why would a 2nd bid be at 12pm- that’s really precise! Are you guessing a little bit?

[Graham Morrison @gmo1976]

@AaronHRamiro They won’t more than double their initial bid! This isn’t Championship Manager!

[Graham Morrison @gmo1976]

@StanCollymore Tuchel should know his strongest 11! The chances are he will tweak it again on Saturday, meaning he doesn’t! Top teams have a settled 11- we don’t have the luxury of trying different combinations! I genuinely hope he gets it right- but we have had 1 good half in 2 games so far.

[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.”

A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

@celtic_jaime “What a Jelly in his Ass” translated is “I put a chilli in his scran” 😂😂

[Graham Morrison @gmo1976]

@walkers_crisps Not one to complain but.....not 1 square in my bag! I've noticed the quality is pretty poor at the minute! Somewhat thin and wavey! Please see this a constructive feedback 👍😊

[Dead End King @deadend_king]

When I hear this song, I know something’s about to go down

[Graham Morrison @gmo1976]

@EddieRFC55 I bet you are single.
I bet you stink.
I bet your search history is illegal.
I bet you have no mates.
I bet you're family have fled.
I bet you're unemployed.
You don't care what you say as you've nothing to lose.
You crave attention because you're lonely. You now have attention

[Graham Morrison @gmo1976]

@PicturesFoIder What a whopper, absolute manchild. Prick

[Premier League @premierleague]

“Dear Sunderland, I wanted to write to you about my mate Jack.”

When @SunderlandAFC’s Wilson Isidor read Jack’s story, he felt compelled to visit his Mum, Jackie.

What followed will remain with them forever ❤️

[Graham Morrison @gmo1976]

@TruckerSpence @YesterdaysBrit1 Just behind the boat mate! They're are people standing on it. 👍

[Graham Morrison @gmo1976]

@AL_SNR58 OK, brilliant 👏 thanks

[Graham Morrison @gmo1976]

@AL_SNR58 I know that, just saying did they not also rate Burstow too? Hence the loan deal
