Fuck Sunderland.

[Edgar Allan Poo]

I don't know a single Sunderland fan that has any ill-wishes against Sheffield United. To the contrary, we actually like you lot.

So to say you met a fan that was shouting at children after we'd just secured promotion to the PL is utter nonsense and you know it.

I joined to say sorry for your loss, and I'm absolutely certain that most, if not all, Sunderland fans feel exactly the same way.

Best of luck next season. You earned your shot at the Premiership!

Mate - two things can be true at the same time.
You might not know a single fan who has any ill-wishes against Utd, but unless you know them all & saw how every single fan behaved at all times, you can’t say it’s utter nonsense the some of them acted like pricks.

After the game there were some very vocal Mackems around Wembley who seemingly had spent all afternoon in the pub. I’m sure there were some in the ground who’d spent all morning in there too.
Would it surprise me if someone got a bit lippy & carried away? No.
Would not surprise me if someone got clipped? No.

What I can say for certain is the vast majority of your fans were brilliant before & after the game - the ones I encountered were anyway.
Good fun, having a great day out, polite, gracious & well into their footy.
But every club, yours & mine included, has a small %age of bell-ends who act differently.
If you were there, you might have met some of ours in the same way Utd fans might have met some of yours.

All the best for next season - I feel you’ll need it unless you recruit well. As we found out last year, a Championship promotion squad is nowhere near good enough for the Prem.

Answer me one thing though - what’s with so many of your lot eating hard boiled eggs?

Gotta say, I thought the Sunderland fans were class on Saturday.Turned up in numbers, had some great banter with them, and knew how to celebrate.
Still can’t bring myself to wish them luck next season, though.They surely have used up all their luck for the next 5 seasons in the play off semi, and final.They must be the luckiest, and least deserving team to gain a promotion spot, in history.`Let’s face it, they were dead and buried until they got the var lifeline, they didn’t deserve, and didn’t even lift their heads up,until they were given their gift from `Stockley Park..Add to that the inexplicable subs, and change in formation,which Wilder made, handed both the initiative and game to them on a plate.
If there is such a thing called karma, they should get what’s coming, next season.
I’m not a bitter man, who carries a grudge

Not really mate, we got beat of Swindon at old Wembley, two-nil. We still went up though thanks to Lou Macaris fiddling...lol.

Let’s see, shall we, which one of us is laughing out loud, this time next year!

I'll still be laughing whatever happens, para payments.

Listen mate, I appreciate it must be dull living in a shithole on the edge of civilisation, and you have nothing else to do in your sad little life, but come on here.However, it really is time you went outside, and looked for a job or a friend or did something, that’s remotely constructive with your life.

I have family in Seaburn and have I paid for it this week. Sunderland and Blades have always had similarities and got on well almost always. I will be in the Flying boat next weekend expecting more grief, but not in a bad way ever. There was some bovver at Roker Park back in the day but there was everywhere in those days, and also Glyn Hodges nutted Kevin Ball ? and got sent off. And of course Michael Bridges raped our defence at the Lane one year, thats about it.
Sunderland fans I met last saturday were class anyway.

Used to be a great pub, not sure what it's like now, been a long time since I was in.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

To be honest, my opinion of Sunderland fans has gone up immeasurably after Saturday. Beforehand I was quite scathing of them the club and the town. But the friendly, engaging banter before and after the game has altered my perceptions. Yes, the vociferous way they try overwhelm places by sheer numbers can be a tad intimidating, but I also find the child-like over enthusiasm for their club quite infectious.

 

[BerksBlade]

Nowt bad to say about the Mackems we bumped into.
O’Neills next to Watford Junction was our first encounter - all fun & taking the piss with their hard-boiled eggs. One bloke even very politely offers me a smoke bomb
Train down to Wembley, one of ‘em shook hands with every Blade he could see.
After the match, there was a small number in the queue at Wembley Central & they were chatty & pleasant. One of ‘em said that save in the first 2 mins from Moore’s header was crucial for them.
There were a few pissed up gobby ones on the walk back to Wembley Central who clearly hadn’t been to the game but they soon shut up.
Always found ‘em decent sorts really & yesterday was no different.
Good luck to ‘em - they’ll certainly need it.

That was my experience too. One or two gobby fans on Wembley high street after the game but vast majority were sound.
My late uncle was a Mackem (taught in Chester-le-Street for years) so always keep an eye on their results.
