Is Sunday…

Is the Chelsea game the biggest in Sunderland’s history now?

We’ve never been this close to making the step up.

League Cup Final vs City was the last time we were one game from Europe

 

[Ongo Baglogian]

No, it definitely isn’t.

Apart from when we won 6 league titles and 2 FA Cups you mean?

Absolutely not. It's a nice to have for sure, but it isn't critical to anything that we do, and we wouldn't go off the rails if we didn't win.

If we're defining the biggest game as the most impactful if it goes wrong, arguably the League One playoffs are that, in that we could have been stuck forever if Neil didn't guide us to that win against Wycombe for instance.

I do like gravy, but if you’re suggesting I’m ’one of them’ then you’re very much mistaken.

In our history? Are you drinking turps?

Borini’s opener man. What could have been.

Red wine. It’s not great but it’s certainly not turps.

Do people know what the phrase 'in our history' actually means? Or do they just not know anything about our history? Surely they know we have won the FA Cup, for example? And that winning it involves a Final?

Spurs 2000 we lost and missed out on Europe by goal difference.

Try Barefoot Cabernet Sauvignon it may elevate your thought process

Given the difference in the stature of football now, I’d argue* that Sunday is a bigger game.

*I may well be wrong, but I’d argue anyway.

 

[Wakoro]

Our biggest game of all time was when we beat Hearts to win the world championship imo.

If history has only been around for thr last 12 years aye

You think possibly finishing 8th is comparable with an fa cup?

 

[MethvensTrousers]

Ok lads, I’ll rephrase.

Is it the biggest *opportunity* in Sunderland’s history?

People still talk about what we did in 1973, over 50 years later. The country came to a standstill. So the stature of that match, for example, was a lot more than the stature of next Sunday's game.

2-2 draw at Goodison Park 2001 too.
