EUROPA LEAGUE FOOTBALL IS COMING TO SUNDERLAND!

[josh Garlepp @JoshGarlepp]

Was looking at afl tables today and saw Pendles will play his 433rd today. Insane effort. That’s more than Bont, KB and Harvey. They should celebrate it somehow.

Immigration makes Britain brilliant.

New York Spelling Bee Champions, you’ll never sing that

[Luke O'Nien @LukeONien]

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 to say it now after 2 overs. Brydon Carse and Gus Atkinson could be the worst opening bowling partnership in Boxing Day history.

@piersmorgan Root and KP 🤣🤣

Perplexed by Australia selecting Abbott and Doggett in the Ashes Squad when they are 33 and 31 respectively. Surely there are younger, and frankly better, options.

After 47 years, Jerry has made the difficult decision to step down from the company we built together. I’m sharing his words as he resigns from Ben & Jerry’s. His legacy deserves to be true to our values, not silenced by @MagnumGlobal #FreeBenAndJerrys

“If any team lose their best player, then it becomes quite a challenge to replace that.”

One of the greatest, yet under appreciated, three track runs in history. #supertramp

Just got 13 laugh reacts on a MS Teams message, is this what heroin feels like?

Hawks will never be a genuine threat with Nash and Worpel in the midfield, so costly. #AFLCrowsHawks

[Lochie Payne @lochiepayne1]

Worst umpiring decision of the year. #afllionshawks

Congratulations to Jarrod Witts who will be running out for his 200th game tonight at Marvel stadium 👏

Witts has had an incredible career, and we are proud to have had him as our co-captain for six seasons.
