Journey home from Poznan is to Newcastle via Bristol. Last time I was flying out of Bristol airport was after we’d beaten Rovers 2-0 in 2019. Will Grigg played. Ruiter and Ozturk were playing backgammon in the airport. Luke O’Nien scored that day! A ridiculous few years really

Another point on the Europa League board and a great city to have loads of pints with your mates. Everything is going to be alright

Ha’way The Lads!

Don’t worry about how the result happened. Sunderland have won away in Europe. In a way, doing it the hard way makes it more fun and is more fitting. Soak it all in, you’ve earned it

Til The End - Europe Edition

Ha’way The Lads!

Sunlun in the sun

Trains, a plane and a car journey later, we’ve arrived in Fátima for European away day pints

Here’s to 100 more for Le Professeur

A historic night and a perfect start to our European Campaign. An amazing occasion at the SoL and a privilege to be a part of it. The atmosphere before kick off and throughout was phenomenal, proper goosebumps. Enjoy the European 3 points! Ha’way The Lads!

To compound how surreal today is, me and @Frankie____ had to pretend to be the players to rehearse the walk out with the Europa anthem

Ha’way The Europa League Lads!

Another reason to get in nice and early tonight #SAFC supporters - a lot of the usual pre match build up is brought forward for Europa League games Get ready to sing your hearts out for the lads 🔴⚪️

It’s going to be a special night at the SoL and a great occasion in the city, something we’ve been spoilt with recently, but this is one we’ve dreamt of for a long time. Get in the stadium early, take it all in and remember what Granit said - This is just the beginning Ha’way!

Final preparations!

Can’t fault the effort or the performance there. If you’re playing the champions and their keeper is arguably the man of the match, then you’re doing something right. Plenty to be positive about still. Now, onto the Europa League!
