Who cried

Nee tears, not even that arsed but me and my old man always said we would see Sunderland win something together and we did today.

Sat across the room from each other but at full time gave each other a hug (for the first time in a year) and if that makes me a nasty, evil, covid rule breaker then so be it.

Same here actually watched with the old man who has dementia and hasn’t long left so aye I shed a couple of tears
 
Not me. Cried In 85, not bothered 87, 90 was a blur because of a combination other more important things, too pissed and young 92 exploring other things. 97 again was a blur.


In 2014 I did cry as I believed it was was finally us and I felt let down. In 2019 I was angry and frustrated.

Today, on my first mothers day without my mam and my daughters 4th birthday, I was just relieved (there was almost a moment). Its been a fcuking good day though 😌

Of course. Have you stopped to think that this club has put the fans through shite recently. That winning at Wembley was a distant memory. Was crap not having fans there due to this bastard virus but watching our club lift a trophy was class. Not in my lifetime. Not in many people's.

Absolutely agree with you. I got a bit emotional at the final whistle. Makes all the crap we have had to endure over the last three season a bit easier to take.
I got to watch it with my 9 month old daughter. She’s got many years of heart ache to come following SAFC

class mate, cant begrudge anyone anything today (especially in these times), pleased you got to spend it with him and despite it being a tinpot trophy, you will remember us winning at wembley with him forever.
 
No. Might have done if we'd won the league cup, maybe, but not for this. Mind, lots of fans have lost people recently. My lasses dad died last year (not from Covid mind), so it's understandable for anyone watching without someone who normally would be by their side. On a purely footballing level you wouldn't cry because we won the papa johns like
 
Not even close. I was over the moon, and it's much better to win it than go out in the group stage as we did last season.

If (when) we go up, this trophy will be the icing on the cake!

Crying over the papa John’s? Really? It ranks no higher than a pre season tournament but played at Wembley ffs.

Its not something I'm going to loose sleep over but as a 40 something who has seen 8 Wembley defeats and never thought he would see us win any kind of cup given the 2014 final swing and our last 5 or 6 season downfall I think you need to give it a bit more credit than that. Quite clearly its ranks higher than a preseason tournament and given its a) a cup final and b) at Wembley is more significant.
 
Me and my daughter cried, 7 trips to Wembley without a win, the final whistle went and we hugged and there were tears. Never felt closer to her than that moment, both in our 73 shirts screaming the place down. Absolute Magic.

Don’t give a shite what anyone thinks it was emotional, if it wasn’t for you them fair play, we are all different.

I'd have wept if we'd won either of the last two Wemberly games but honestly that was more to do with depression than the games. This just felt like a lovely normal positive, but no begrudging anyone who let theirs out at this final whistle, it's been an awful set of years.
