England the more menacing side and deserved the win. Plenty of goals in this team, but the defending will need to get better. Think Rashford has overtaken Gordon for left wing spot.

FIRST WIN IN RED ❤️ #F1 #BarcelonaGP

🐐greatest of all time

Imagine winning the World Cup and then Revolver dropping a few days later

The present is only possible because of the past… and then there were two 🥲 #SAFC

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.”

After the game I thought of the woman in the Netflix programme who asked, “Why’s it never us?” It was a simple but brilliant question that summed up supporting Sunderland for the last 5 decades. We might flop in Europe but the last year will never be forgotten. It was us.

Inject it #SAFC

Regis Le Bris, manager of the year. No debates no trying to convince me otherwise. He is manager of the year! #SAFC

EUROPA LEAGUE FOOTBALL IS COMING TO SUNDERLAND!

Noel’s backing vocals on this Songbird version are sublime. (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2009 🇧🇷)

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was released 46 years ago today. One of Hollywood’s most popular films and most anticipated and acclaimed sequels, the making of story is as huge as you’d expect. 1/39

How it’s started. How it’s going.

🤣

STAR WARS: EPISODE I – THE PHANTOM MENACE was released 27 years ago today. The fourth release in the Star Wars series, and probably the most anticipated movie ever to come out of Hollywood, the story behind the scenes will blast you into oblivion… 1/65

These two incidents perfectly show the referees being scared in big moments. 1st pic - opening day. The result doesn’t immediately impact the season. Referee feels it’s less of a big moment. 2nd pic - 2nd last game. Red card would have gigantic implications on the title race. Bottled it.

Hmmmm, guess which one was a red card....... @SkySportsPL @FA_PGMOL #safc #ARSBUR #corruption #gamesgone 🧐🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

You laughed at us, When we were shite, We came back up, And beat you twice One nil at home, Two one away, All the Geordies ran away #SAFC #Sunderland
