Those poor Londoners wouldn't have known what hit them 
they don't talk to each other very much.

But, apart from all that, you had a canny weekend................?Walked around London all day yesterday with my Sunderland top on and was congratulated by every football fan. Even a few foreign tourists spotted the colours and gave a shout for Sunderland. We walked into a Wetherspoons near Bank at 12 and was cheered into the pub by Spurs and Brighton fans. Got talking to a few and said that they had family in Fulwell & Roker! Brighton fans were over the moon that Tommy scored the winner but they all think that he won’t play much of a part next season. We were then clapped out!
Sunderland do take over everywhere they go. Every corner we turned the whole weekend, was red and white. The scenes on Saturday night were unbelievable, I truly believe that there were more Mackems than tourists. Every pub was packed: The Harp, The Round House, The White Lion & The Nags Head.
The best moment after the game was in Tottenham Court Road tube station around 9.30pm. Got off the tube and heard someone playing Elvis on guitar. We recognised it straight away and legged it to him and started singing with him for about 5 minutes and other SAFC fans to the bemusement of tourists and I think the busker
Also a mention for the police on the Saturday night in Covent Garden, outside the Nags End. Absolutely superb! They were all class and they all acknowledged how big of a win this was for us. One of them taking photos with all of us giving us his hat and everything.
Overall, a weekend that I will never forget ever. From start to finish, it was packed with excitement, nervousness and happiness. The weekend would not have been what it was without every other Sunderland fan in London! I’m proud of where I come from. I’m proud to be a Mackem. I’m proud of being a Sunderland fan. HAWAY THE LADS
I agree. As good as any. Elsewhere there are improvements required if going to progress again and that includes keeping Isak. Schar is getting on. Botman injuries are a concern. Keepers are ok but nothing more.

Depth is your problem imo. Starting 11 is excellent but the bench isn’t on the same level.
Thats the difference between yourselves, Villa, Arsenal etc.
Liverpool were in a class of one this season.

Agreed.
Arsenals defence is better, certainly CB’s. Although their lack of a striker still beggars belief.
Villa, Newcastle & Chelsea (as the league showed) are about equal. Villa losing their keeper could be a big loss.
City have aging players. A revamp is needed and probably will happen.
Liverpool will be the team to beat again. Especially if they sign a couple of good ones, as I expect they will.
That’s what they thought in 99.
I had similar in 2014 in Covent Garden.. bunch of Texans asking me who’d won.. ‘it's the morra man’.. they thought I was taking the pissI promise I'm not taking the piss
Outside the white lion about 5 pm on Friday some lad was vomiting and I was walking away - and some big lad with a fit lass was watching
I had a chat with them and they were American and asked what it was all for and what we were celebrating!
I'm so chuffed to meet an American and tell them the game was the next day

Class and agree with the coppers.
