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.”
AI will never replace us.
Not a chance in the world it will ever reach the capabilities of a human’s mind. Anyone who tells you different because ChatGPT made a deep fried graphic of Mbappe in a Brighton shirt with the badge on the sleeve, has never worked with one before. X
On this day in 2023 🗓️
Swansea beat Cardiff 3-2 in the South Wales derby! 🦢
Ben Cabango scoring the winner in the 99th minute…
SOME OF THE GREATEST LIMBS OF ALL TIME!!! 😍😍
Moved on because he knew what was coming. Played well over 300 games for us — a brilliant servant and captain. One of the best players in the league, and deserved a crack at Premier League football, where he should be playing.
Can’t fault him at all.
Should he be booed? 100%.
FT: Swansea City 1-0 Bristol City ✅
Zan Vipotnik’s first-half strike secures all 3 points for the Swans. We continue our impressive home form with another win and clean sheet closing the gap to just 3 points off the play-offs.
Huge win for the Welsh team. 🏴🚜
Thoughts on the match? ⬇️
The Swans will make a late decision on the fitness of Melker Widell ahead of Sunday, but Leo Walta is in contention to make his Swans debut.
