@RFC_97 Stop being so soft man, Sunderland went up in 91 over Swindon after getting beat and they got thrown out, and we took it all day long.

Nope. Don’t want to go up this way. We didn’t win the semi so we’re out. If Southampton are to be kicked out then congrats to Hull on your promotion. If we go up we do it properly and deserve it, not from getting byes in the round before.

@SunderlandAFC Why does every update from the interim CEO read like a shite LinkedIn AI article?

🗞️ #SAFC today announced the next phase of its multi-year investment programme, with significant enhancements to be delivered across the Stadium of Light and Academy of Light during summer 2026.

@teddlyf @WestHam_Central Leeds are the only club in the world stupid enough to do a deal like that, the Leeds supporters hate there old sporting director for it, and Leeds were lucky to get away with coming back up with the state he left them in.

@WestHam_Central When Leeds got relegated in turned out they all had contracts where if others teams covered their wages, they could go there on loan for free for the year. So don't rule out that for a few of them

Where I could see players going when they abandon us in the summer and the fees we accept as a EFL club: Areola - £10m – Besiktas Fabianski – retire AWB – £10m – Bournemouth Todibo – £15m – Lens Disasi - back to Chelsea - got by Leeds Mavropanos – £20m – Dortmund Diouf – £30m – Man U Soucek – £5m goodwill gesture – Slavia Alvarez – £10m – Ajax Fernandes – £45m – Man U Summerville – £25m – Roma Bowen – £30m – Everton / Newcastle Adama – contract end Taty – £15m – Flamengo Fullkrug – free – Werder Cornet – free – Genoa

@Utdtruthful He was heavily rumoured for Sunderland in the summer, very likely he considered us, but was clearly waiting for United.

🚨🗣️ Senne Lammens: “Surprised about Sunderland's quality? Not really for me personally. I think even teams in the last places, they have good qualities. At any given day they can give you a lot of problems, as we have seen in the past. “Hats off to them. The way they've been coming in directly as well. The first couple of games they had a good run and they're fighting for Europe, so it's always a good thing. But you know every team has qualities. “They have so many good players in this league that you can't really take it easy for one week or something or for one day. So for me it's no surprise really, especially if you see here with the history of the club, with the fans behind them. It's always difficult to play at them.” #MUFC [@StevenRailston]

@MUFC_RA That has to be a 0.5 photo, it dosent look like that.

Nose bleed away end. Once Zirkzee came off we looked like we could score. Another one ticked off. Roll on next season 🇾🇪

@CRVisuals_ Haway man palace have checked out, we aren’t getting 8th marra, good game today, but 2 points from the last 9 was nowhere near good enough for it.

@rocketal Right and they might not?

3 points off 8th. Us vs Everton next week just got tasty

@AdamFulwell_ @Jordanewcombe23 I was near the away fans for a change as normally near roker end, Man Utd fans never stopped, I barely heard roker end.

@Jordanewcombe23 Really? Im at the other end of the ground like but Thought they were shite after the first 10 minutes. Brighton the best away fans of the season for me

Fair play to Man United, by far the best fan base imo to come up here and make the noise Another reason why I say Manchester is RED #SAFC #MUFC

@BBCMOTD VAR took into account he was acting like a petulant child the whole game so applied a bit of FAFO.

Bruno Fernandes wanted a red 🟥 Nilson Angulo caught him in the face but VAR said there was no violent conduct at play 🙅

@TurkTalksFC He deserved it tbf, he was acting like a spoilt child the whole game.

Bruno Fernandes has just been blatantly elbowed off the ball. With intent. VAR check. No red card. Jokers.

@duffman197332 @CRVisuals_ Hume also had a great game at St James and many other places.

@CRVisuals_ Can’t blame the lad seeing Hume and O’Nien getting minutes ahead of him, absolute joke

Yeah i'm not shocked. Canny player but not a space for him here IMO. I think he is quite overrated by some and gets better the longer he doesn't play in people's minds. I'd like to see us sign a young CB and LB instead with the money. #SAFC

@jwhitey98 @CWeatherspoon_ I’m fairly sure the Man Cuty chairman greeted Kier Starmer off the plane when he went to UAE last month? I’d not expect much pushback from UK government tbh.

150,000 have been killed in Sudan over the past two years. Calls are increasing to sanction #MCFC owner & UAE deputy PM Sheikh Mansour over the UAE's alleged funding of the war. UK government action would force a sale — this is the current situation: nytimes.com/athletic/72429…

@JasonWi16836064 @TomDutty Which play off winners do it, Sunderland certainly didn’t last year?

@TomDutty Are you OK with play-off winners having a parade after finishing 6th?

You absolutely cannot be doing a bus parade for finishing second.

@TheAthleticFC This was the season they purposely breached PSR and avoided punishments through technicalities. Championship fans from that season have very little sympathy.

It is hard to contemplate now, but Harry Winks was once considered a statement signing for Leicester City. It has been a dramatic fall from grace, for both the club and the player. The former England midfielder, rightly or wrongly, has become the poster boy for an underachieving squad destined for League One. For everyone’s sake, if he does feature against Blackburn Rovers on the final day of the Championship season, it should be his last appearance for the club. 📝 @RobTannerLCFC 🔗 nyti.ms/3RafHb0

@MilesParrish9 @RichFay Completely self inflicted, he’s right with everything he says.

@RichFay Probably the worst club to say that about. Gone through about 10 managers who have near enough all reset the playing squad

Phil Parkinson also defended Wrexham's spending this season: "We're competing against teams like Stoke City, who have been building squads for the last 10 years in this division. They've got an infrastructure, category one academies who are producing their own players. "When we've spent money, we've had to because we've had to fast track the quality level at the top end. I think you'll see it's fair that we needed to do that because you've got to have Championship quality. Those players aren't cheap. We had to quickly evolve this squad to that." #WxmAFC

@Petal1752 @dharvey4 Sorry mate but that’s absolutely not the case between the Premier League and the championship, it’s like a whole different game. Don’t forget Burnley went up with 100 points last season, you will learn the hard way it seems.

@rocketal @dharvey4 They want to keep him but he’s made his mind up. He has a year left on his contract so they need to cash in. Keepers are pretty simple, you are either good or not. He’s shown he’s ready.

Can we sign Rushworth before the window opens?

@HalfwayLino Sunderland, Leeds, Newcastle, Man City, Man Utd literally do this every week.

WHL in full voice…oh, this is in the midlands? 😶🥹 How do 3000 away fans create as much noise as 60,000 on a home matchday 🔥

@RCorless33 Woh lad why you bringing Sunderland into this we’ve said nowt, always been a healthy respect with City, same size clubs with nobhead neighbours, prior to your buy out.

The best bit is when fans of sides like Newcastle, Coventry, Villa, Sunderland, Leeds etc. come and have a pop about it. Lads, we’ve seen all of your stadiums half empty because things weren’t going well. Hush up.
