How are you winding down after that?

Exactly our fault as soon as Hamer went off all our passes were suddenly changing direction from forward to backward.. Sunderland have benefitted greatly from goals down to cock ups.. had they played say Newcastle they'd have lost 9-0 they were gash

Hopefully they get to experience that thrashing next season.
 

To be honest I didn't do the build up and all that shit. I knew we were more than good enough and I kind of expected us to fuck it up. I get more angry when we lose than upset so living here in the States it's hard to let off steam. I bought a 12 pack of Modelo, 4 tins of Red Hook strong ale and have a couple of bottles of rum. I know drinking isn't big and clever but fuck it, the sun's shining, it's nice and quiet outside so that's how I'll be handling it.

Think my low point was Boxing Day 1979, had to wait for Duffy to put than one finally to bed but as I walked home from Hillsborough to Stannington I realised that getting back to my 10 month old son at Christmas was far more important than losing to the piggies and I vowed to never let football ever to get me feeling so bad again.
That vow has been tested several times since then, relegation to division 4, semi final defeat to piggies etc etc and especially after our capitulation today but once again I've managed to keep a sense of proportion.
It took me an hour or so to calm down and I then had a nice meal with my wife, wine and malt whisky and a couple of beers afterwards and whilst it still hurts, the darkest hour is just before dawn.
Life goes on as does football. Changes in personnel will happen in the next few weeks and hopefully we will emerge stronger next season. As for me I'm looking forward to spending most of the summer on holiday in my motorhome, football will be around for a lot longer than me..
 
It's beginning to hurt now. My philosophical calmness earlier on was clearly induced by the alcohol I consumed during the match. I knew I should have carried on drinking.😭😭😭

Great post, a sad sad day but let's put things in perspective. Here we go again!
 
I wound down by shaking every Sunderland fan's hand and telling them their club is absolutely fantastic. I also told them how powerful they are, and I finished by giving them 3 cheers
 
Came back to the hotel near the Warren Street Underground station to be greeted by Mrs Silent who dislikes football but she comforted me, from 8 pm we met my old schoolmate who is a Charlton fan and we had a good catch up at a pub. He was at Wembley yesterday so he is delighted that Charlton are now back in the second tier.

I was gutted that we didnt break the duck in my 7th visit to Wembley that involved the Blades playing but I kept reminding myself that had we won we probably would have had another miserable season in the Premier League.

Closer than you think. I'm three large Southern Comfort and lemonades and a bottle of beer down and I've just had to stop myself at the last second from taking a hot tin out of the oven with my bare hands. 🙈😂

Which Bentos did you have?
 
I wish I had took the week off and booked a few days away, win or lose, because right now I'm still reeling we could have won comfortably and yet we still managed to lose.
 
Silently reflecting, but am not getting too down abou it.
Yes it was hugely disappointing.
I drove up to family's grave this morning at Woodhouse, to have a quiet talk, tell them what had happened, they were all blades btw.
Sounds daft I know. Certainly felt a lot better afterwards. Put some flowers on the grave, came away calm and happy.
Life goes on, now I look forward to seeing my nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews in next couple of weeks.
I try not to look back at the past, but sometimes you can't help it.
I just try to keep looking forward and try to be positive.
UTB

In a London bar chatting to Sunderland fans weirdly, genuinely great bunch who all said we deserved to win? Said I’m not sure on that but said our good lucks for next season. How football fans should act imo, saw some embarrassing scenes at full time and in the match.

We left the minute the ref blew for full time so didn't notice owt untoward. Were Blades feyting? Was it worse than the Hull semi-final?

I'm out with the dog in the woods. It's a nice, pleasant evening, birds are singing, she's having fun chasing her ball around. I have a curry lined up for later and a couple of bottles of nice ale, which I'm going to consume whilst watching Becoming Led Zeppelin. Not that it will tell me anything I didn't already know about the band. Looking forward to getting some jobs done around the house and garden tomorrow. Life is good, as long as I don't let those overpaid shysters in red and white ruin it.

It’s a football media blackout for me, chatting to fellow Blades on here is all I can face. I guess the jiz was practically flying through the air at Sky, TNT and TalkSPORT…After Sunlan’s unlikely coronation.
Will probably seek solice at some point on BR and SHW, but at the moment keeping it low key…I guess not living in Sheffield helps, although the Scabs and Sheepshaggers at work will no doubt have something to say.
 
Unfortunately it is what it is, nothings going to change so just get on with the rebuild for next season hopefully a lot stronger.
 
Had 3 weeks off the booze before this weekend, then I’ve drank heavily all weekend. I think it’s more social than drowning my sorrows but you never know.

As long as you don't mention 8 0 I will not get retraumatised.
 
I've just about moved on from it now (the feeling of absolute sheer disappointment). Took the family out yesterday and really enjoyed the day. Can't change what's happened with the result on Saturday so im not going to dwell on it. I'm going to try and enjoy the summer, watch other sports, and in a strange way, after a couple of weeks I will be looking forward to reading about everything United again. I think we will have a great season.

Remember the night is always darkest just before the dawn. We will be back again and in spades. UTB.
