I'm not serious in the slightest. Love a bit of SAFC as well and my PS4.

As a Sunderland fan I can’t understand why Hall didn’t go to the WC and Burn did. Utterly bizarre. #safc #nufc #england

@KJE_Lowes The pink/grey away strip is first, followed by the home strip which is based around 37/73 and has a collar. 3rd strip is navy blue and will be last to be released.

@001Oxygen 4 WC’s only add upto 16 years 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’d say millions have watched more than 4 😂

@WeahsCousin Why? As a Sunderland support in ecstatic to be even in a euro comp. We get at least 8 games and then let’s see after that.

[Billy Moobs @moobs1973]

@Player578_ They currently don’t have one. It’s not an airline and no airline has even been approached.

[Billy Moobs @moobs1973]

@boominzoom @Player578_ Not even remotely a rumour apart from some plebs that said it on here 😂😂

Sunderland’s starting XI in their joyous, season-ending 2-1 victory over listless Chelsea cost the same as £106m Enzo Fernandez. This is no slight on a world champion, an elite attacking midfielder, full of craft and craftiness, if moody at times. This is simply a celebration of Sunderland’s exceptional recruitment, finding gems who can see - and seize - the opportunity at the Stadium of Light.

This is also a celebration of Regis Le Bris’ remarkable team-building, blending and bonding qualities which have guided a side promoted via the play-offs into seventh and Europe. For those of us who thought Sunderland would go straight back down, apologies and enjoy Europe. You deserve it. A well-run football operation deserves it. That backing from stands to boardroom deserves it. Football also deserves it: a reminder that the status quo can be challenged with shrewd planning and investment and hard work.

Of Le Bris’ starting XI against Chelsea, eight joined on the eve of the season and one in the winter window: Roefs a reported £9m from Nijmegen; Mukiele £9.5m from PS-G; Reinaldo free from Atletico Madrid; Geertruida loan from RB Leipzig; Le Fee £19.3m, loan made permanent from Roma; Xhaka £13m from Bayer Leverkusen; Sadiki £15m from Union St-Gilloise; Angulo £17.5m from Anderlecht (in February); and seven-goal Brobbey £21.6m from Ajax. Two 2025 arrivals came off the bench: Diarra £30m from Strasbourg; and Isidor £5m loan made permanent from Zenit St-Petersburg (in February 2025).

Three of the 14 involved were already at the club. The starting pair of: Hume £200,000 from Linfield in 2022; and O’Nien undisclosed but reported as £200,000 to £300,000 from Wycombe Wanderers in 2018. And the sub: Rigg from Sunderland’s academy. (The £105.5m total does not include the undisclosed loan fees).

When Sunderland won 2-1 at the Bridge in October, Le Bris’ starting XI cost only £75m (and also had the important Ballard, £2m from Arsenal in 2022). Chelsea’s starting XI was £433m.

Four miles from the Bridge, on Park Lane this evening, the League Managers Association celebrates its members’ many achievements this season. Le Bris certainly deserves a mention. Mixing old and many new players, and getting new signings to settle quickly, requires real people skills. Le Bris and his staff clearly have them.

It’s also a reflection on Sunderland’s family club reputation that so many newcomers are welcomed and assimilated so quickly. Some will move on, some will be moved on but what a journey this is across England - and soon Europe. #SAFC

@DaveSunderlandx It’s the away kit (not 3rd). Pink and “Elvis” themed.

[Billy Moobs @moobs1973]

Hope James is doing well.

[James @Jamesbfc88]

Sunderland fans in for a big shock when they realise signing a whole new team doesn’t keep you up.
Finished miles behind Burnley and leeds last season who have both improved their squads. Sunderland will finish bottom.

@xGPhilosophy Xg means absolutely fuck all 😂😂😂

[Simon O'Rourke @sorourkeITV]

That’s a staggering achievement. #SAFC They weren’t afraid of the premier league, they put their money where their mouth is and they reaped the rewards. A year to the day since the playoff final victory. Surely May the 24th has to become a Mackem Bank Holiday?

[Ian Darke @IanDarke]

Regis Le Bris is Manager of the Year, taking a Sunderland team tipped for relegation by everyone into Europe. Astonishing.

[Billy Moobs @moobs1973]

@SAFCsource Pink elvis themed away shirt.

[Billy Moobs @moobs1973]

@Capt_Fishpaste What gives you the right to tell others what they should do?

[Billy Moobs @moobs1973]

Oh dear 😂

[Gav @GavSAFC89]

What we deserve.

Everton have been absolutely atrocious for that 40 minutes but we have absolutely zero threat on both wings.

Embarrassing Reggie 👍

[Billy Moobs @moobs1973]

Showing how thick yanks are. It’s a pic of Rio 😂😂

@DaveSunderlandx Away kit is pink, 3rd kit is blue.

[Billy Moobs @moobs1973]

@JamesCopley_ Ballard = Idiot

[Billy Moobs @moobs1973]

@SFCBenW Nobody wanted him this season. He’s average at best.
