Can't stop watching Tommy Watson (ROCKETMAN)


It’s almost a month but it still gets to me. Suddenly we are back where we belong.
No longer feeling supporting Sunderland is something you feel you need to be quiet about.

The premiership has changed since we were last here.
The really hard part - staying in it - begins now.

HTL.
 
The ball almost got away from him, that second touch was awful, stretching for the shot bent it in!
What a load of nonsense mate ! you see him looking up as he first touches the ball and in that moment he has decided what he is going to do..then the second touch is deliberate (just look at his right foot and body motion)to move it to the right and the shot is perfection..i would wager that goal was made on the training ground ..I dont want to over complicate what was a wonderful goal but good footballers get to where they are because they have an advantage over the rest of us ..

So to those not blessed with the footballing gene tommy looked up as he first touched the ball decided what he was going (instantly)and everything that happened after that is nearly impossible to put into words but if you have the footy gene you know how he did it !
 
There seems to be a bit of media rethoric that it was a last kick of the game winner. There was still a fair few (6/7??) minutes to play after that, and to be honest I can't recall those minutes until the full time whistle (in real time) the game was done...

It's worth highlighting Enzo's "o'Nien" moment. The sheer joy of winning a free kick deep in Sheff U territory: much like LoN's celebration at the last Wemberlee gig when he tackled and stopped a Wycombe counter.
 
I don’t remember feeling nervous or threatened by Sheff U after we scored. We controlled those final minutes incredibly well which to me reaffirms we were in the ascendancy and likely to have comfortably won in extra time had it been necessary. Sheff U were clearly shot to pieces.
I was the same, there was no way they were getting back from that and the party had already begun
