Oh my days they played footballs coming home at Azteca at full-time Has anyone checked on the sound guy? Like do we know his whereabouts is he safe?

Ah Hendo. You can take the boy out of Farra but not the Farra out of the boy

Really speaks to the hiring policy the club adopted a few years ago that the players who are leaving are going with such enormous goodwil. But also that they are speaking so emotionally and highly of the club and the fans on the way out as well. #SAFC Go well big man

Them chav hats after the grand prix are a bit rough like

Gosh I hope we don't have anymore emotional mood swings about Xhaka this summer Otherwise happy days #SAFC

It's been nice having a load of players at a world cup for once but from a #SAFC perspective I'm kinda glad a load of the lads are starting to drop out of the tournament now Get them some rest for a few weeks and keep them injury free

God we must be desperate if we're trying to claim handball for that

This French team are terrifying

These lads would just follow Luke O'Nien into a fire wouldn't they Wouldn't we all www.instagram.com/reel/DaI2ckJ... #SAFC

I suspect this isn't the last we've heard of the Xhaka thing, however I do wonder how much of the "he wants to go to the Chelsea and a deal is agreed" is true Is it more he'd like to go if the clubs can agree a fee but he'd be perfectly happy to stay if not #SAFC

Cheers Ben, enjoy playing for Durham #ENG

I pity the poor bugger who manages Xhaka's Instagram account this morning like #SAFC

After 14 months of really unbridled glee supporting #SAFC it's really hard to not feel gut punched this morning I think we were all prepared for some of the young players to get poached for big money whereas losing Granit has no upsides that I can see But we'll survive, be reet

If Xhaka wants to go to Chelsea it'll be very disappointing however if he does want to go there isn't really much we can do. The club existed before him and it will exist after him Demand as much money as we can get from Chelsea and move on #SAFC

Stop thundering and do some bloody raining dammit

Pretty excited to see more of Angulo next season after this performance #SAFC

See it looks fantastic on someone cool #SAFC

Not sure how I feel about that away kit, I suspect it will look good on the right person, I suspect I am wildly not trendy enough to be that person #SAFC

Form is temporary, Isidor is permanent #SAFC

We won that trophy after the pandemic season... May 2021... 5 years later we're sending the kids to play in it Crazy how far we've come Also shout out to Gooch for breaking the Wembley curse

Bored of hearing about Messi being top world cup goal scorer and we're only 7 minutes into the game

Fixture list day is weird, it feels more exciting than it should be If we can avoid getting a promoted team away in August and we get a home game on boxing day I'll be happy* #SAFC *Assuming we get boxing day matches this year 🙄

Really sad news about Eric Roy, a superb player and by all accounts a lovely man. I remember him being a trialist in a preseason friendly and looking a cut above everyone else. As well as him being a key player in that legendary demolition of Chelsea #SAFC

Form is temporary class is permanent for Lewis Hamilton

I've got Xhaka in my fantasy team, can we let Qatar have the ball so he can get some tackle points please

A duck came flying at me over the top of a caravan when I was wandering across the park today, I yelled "ye swoopy bastard" at it... And this is why I don't wear anything that identifies me as a staff member when I'm at work

Could have used some Graham Norton commentary on this opening ceremony like #WorldCup

Not very friendly this is it?

Sunderland themed wordle anyone - www.mackem-dle.com #SAFC Made by underthelight73 over on the other place

Also if anyone is having football withdrawal and wants to go down a rabbit hole on this addictive game I'd recommend it - 38-0.app/game

Anyone shocked by these stories about David Sullivan? Show of hands.... Nope, no one, Didn't think so

Monaco really is the example of when billionaires get their own way no matter if it makes sense or not

Went to see the new he-man film for me mates birthday.... It's actually pretty great, if you just want some fun escapism I'd highly recommend it

RIP Anthony Head, best librarian ever

If I ever consider taking a job where I'd be working out of a shitty industrial estate ever again can someone get Cattermole to come and take me out at the knees please. I'll take my lunch time duck walks around the park over that anyday

I think Dennis Cirkin still has the potential to be a premier league fullback but he needs to find some consistent fitness and game time, unfortunately we can't rely on that Suspect he'll drop down to the championship again, he'll walk into most sides in that league Wish him all the best #SAFC

I've really loved listening to all the #SAFC podcasts this week. As someone in my early 40s I remember loving the Reid days but at the time I don't think a lot of us really knew how exceptional it was. Whereas now so many of us truly appreciate what's going on and it's great to see YGGTTCB

PSA: Evergreen is a fantastic beer

What sort of weirdos aren't voting for Le Bris? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... #SAFC

Well worth a read Quietly ruthless Régis Le Bris ready to lead revived Sunderland into Europa League www.theguardian.com/football/202... #SAFC

Given our clubs planning, I assume we had 3 shopping lists for the summer and they'll be opening the big gold envelope marked "Europa League" this morning #SAFC

Absolute piss take this running order on MOTD like

Not me planning my hotel beers just in case

I have signal Oh my Christ What a season #SAFC

Well I'm about to disappear into a festival and a signal void for the next 10 hours or so Whatever happens today it's been a brilliant season but my days if we get Europe I think it will beat the Reid seasons See y'all on the side #SAFC

Kinda weird that 3 years ago the championship playoffs were Luton, Coventry, Sunderland and middlesbrough The winners of those playoffs were Luton who are league one If boro win today the other 3 teams will all be in the premier League next season Long term planning beats short term wins

Rewatching the #SAFC Til the end doc on YouTube, I swear the key to promotion is to just shake hands constantly, no matter what.

Random thought. Could Dan Neil technically play on Sunday? Like no idea if he's on a beach or what but given Ipswich season ended a few weeks ago would he be eligible? #SAFC

My God I love the playoffs

Rumour mill advice for the summer: Have you heard of this player? If yes we probably aren't in for them Unless It's as crazy as us getting Xhaka #SAFC
