Well done Sunderland, last minute winner is always sweet

[Richard Hakluyt]

Good news about Sunderland, my old man would be delighted if he were still around

My team Charlton also in a play off final  but tomorrow. Sold out our 39k allocation and could have sold 50k. Looking forward to a trip to Wembley and getting out of bloody league one

Playing Leyton Orient, is that right?

Is one of the team more favoured to win, or is it a pretty even matchup?

Sunderland opened terribly. Only good goalkeeping kept us alive. Then we threw away a really stupid goal and conceded from a corner we took.

We never really played our best throughout most of the game. And the way the game was going with us in control would have been tough even at our best. Didn't look good at all.

That the winner came from Watson... He controversially signed for Brighton a few months ago and has been playing rubbish since. Lots of people questioning why play him. But this should have him leaving on good terms.

Good luck to Charlton. I see they're against Leyton Orient who were non League not so long ago.
Seems to be a real trend for non leaguers to smash through league 2 at least and then often do well in 1.
I wonder what's behind that.
Certainly seems to point towards a need for more fluidity at the bottom of l2.

League 1 is indeed an awful league where the quality is just high enough good players get noticed but pinning them down beyond a year or two is impossible.

We get to avoid Wrexham next year. That's good.

Yep. Who knows, it's a toin coss at this stage. We are a bigger club but that means nothing.
