Does that top

[Barrow-in-Furness-Mackem]

The Dan Ballard moment or the playoff final?

 

[bankofengland]

Don't know yet still hasn't sunk in

 

[Al Bundy]

Without question it does.
Qualifying for Europe after coming up through the play offs is unbelievable.
You can’t top that

 

[Local Lad]

Achievement yes,

But moment not for me. That ballard goal was something else I think I'll struggle to experience anything better than that

 

[Pudding]

Yes

 

[HABA87]

This.

 

[Steesafc]

Not as an individual moment in the stadium. Today was incredibly special, but nothing tops getting to Wembley in the very last second.

 

[Zidane]

I think thats peak Sunderland in my lifetime, im 53

 

[chuckyroll]

Embrace each success. Without the aforementioned today wouldn't have been possible. Not only will the Ballard header and the play off final remain etched in our history but will be looked upon as the catalyst of a resurgence of everything Safc.

 

[Scotty 1978]

I’m still in shock, a few years ago we had a game abandoned against Accrington, now this

 

[Flavonoids]

Correct answer, thread done.

 

[connolly_31]

Not for me. I was sober for the Ballard goal.

 

[Baloo]

I think that beats any games/Wembley trips for me in my 38 years.

Each to their own though.

 

[The Fitter]

Correct answer, thread done.

No; let's discuss different states of euphoria for a while longer.

 

[dangermows]

Easily.

If we are talking about moments for the club.

 

[connolly_31]

Easily.

If we are talking about moments for the club.

But what about the chain reaction? I’m in the middle of one right now.

 

[ErichZann]

For me yes, Ive been dreaming about qualifying for Europe since I was a kid in the early 90's. This tops it all.....so far.

 

[dangermows]

But what about the chain reaction? I’m in the middle of one right now.

I think given the scenes at full time this will see more post midnight action.

This.
Obviously getting into Europe is a much bigger achievement, but in the playoffs I don't think we had much hope after our terrible run of form, so to get to Wembley against all the odds was incredibly emotional. It left us a step away from the PL after years of watching our club at its lowest point in history.

 

[itscoldinhere]

Achievement wise yes
How i felt when ballards header went in has been the best ever
