Sunday is our biggest game for decades

I thought it was top 5? Do you know why this is?

Because the 5th place is the "extra" one dished out by UEFA to the best performing country in European competitions. So it has to go to an Emglish team, and with Villa already qualifying through winning the Europa it drops the spot down to 6th if they finish 5th.
 

While European football will be interesting, getting a victory over Chelsea will ensure we finish above the visitors, we qualify for Europe and that the “richest club in the world” 😉😉 has had the worst season for years

I feel the biggest game was the Wycombe game (or potentially even Sheffield Wednesday in the semi final). I think a lot of people would have given up had we failed at Wembley yet again to such a small club to have to face a 5th year in that league. And god knows what the ownership would have done.

Would Alex Neil have stuck around - probably not. Would we have lost the likes of Ballard, Neil, Onein etc.

Ballard wasn't with us in league one.

Thanks for clearing that up mate ! Seen it this morning too... European qualification eh? How mint?
 
its satisfying, in the past we have had false dawns, we have had opportunities and failed to take them, 'typical sunderland' or the 'sunderland way' we would say, to fuck it up when we needed to do better

this team and the whole club seem to have a different mentality these days and long may it continue
