NUFC FOREVER

European nights are back at the London Stadium 😍

SACK EDDIE HOWE NOW!! @jamiereuben #NUFC

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.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA CELEBRATING A THROW IN

It wasn't a dream... we will play EUROPA LEAGUE football next season 🤯

Dan ‘leadership group’ Burn there. More arsed about other scores than doing the job he is paid handsomely to do, for the team he should be privileged to play for. There’s lads who would run through brick walls for that badge today.

would YOU take a double relegation, 4 seasons in League One, and then 3 seasons of Championship for Europa League football?? 🤔

Side note to the Arsenal stuff Mad love to every single Sunderland fan today. Championship to Europa League in 12 months? Mad. Congrats ❤️🤍

“Newcastle came 12th and Sunderland got Europe” is the sort of thing my sleep paralysis demon would tell me. Unthinkably horrific
