Ok, a draw is a fair result, and team and fans were up for it, but I must have looked at the Enzo penalty farce over a dozen times. And try as hard as I might, it is, was and always will be a penalty. What is the point of VAR if it backs such a ridiculous decision by the referee? #Sunlun
Ship Isis - they have a beer on that is brewed at the end of my street (Trig Cirrus) but I plump for Utopian Best Bitter which, despite travelling all the way from Devon, is beautiful. #Sunlun
The strange light seems to be re-appearing but not after I was caught in a hail shower between Hot Rats and the Winter Gardens. I paid a visit to see Jack Crawford, the old railway line and wandered around Mowbray Park. Lovely despite the weather. #Sunlun
Looking at social media, I wasn’t sure if there had been a massive earthquake, a really serious volcanic eruption, or the biggest most destructive storm this century.
But no, we’d lost a football match. It happens, get over it. We’ll be back stronger than before. Ha’way the lads! #Sunlun
Wasn’t able to watch the game today, but reading about everything that’s been going on, don’t you just feel the people who were doubting Enzo after the Brentford game are looking ridiculous. Still can’t believe we’ve got a player of his ability. We’re so lucky to have him. #SAFC #Sunlun
What a brilliant podcast, recommend you give it a listen! Two great journalists in Phil Smith and James Copley being joined by Jonathan Wilson who is arguably the best football writer in the world. He’s also a massive lads fan! Fantastic listen. #SAFC #Sunlun
With much debate about journalists favouring Twitter over Bluesky, full respect to Phil Smith at the Sunderland Echo. He’s really good at using Bluesky, and for obvious reasons, he’s a great source of reliable news about #SAFC #Sunlun
Great challenge for Regis now, he simply has to play Mukiele, Alderete and Ballard in the same team. They are absolutely brilliant #Sunlun #SAFC
Patrick Roberts to Birmingham. That leaves an empty feeling. Love him as a player, and we wouldn’t have got to the Premier League without him. Wish him well, and consoling myself it’s only a loan, so he could return at some point #EndOfAnEra #Sunlun
What a week for Wilson! His birthday, a new born baby, and the winning goal! Ha’way the lads! #TilTheEnd #Sunlun
Just beautiful, really really beautiful! Dreams can come true. #WeAreBack #Sunlun
The wait is over, but the mix of anxiety and excitement is there as ever. Part of living and breathing this beautiful club! #We’reBack #Sunlun
Trai Hume - quotes popping up in various places at the moment:
I have always said I love my football at Sunderland, I love the club and I am happy where I am at. If anything happens it’s down to the club. I am happy being there.
Great news when you read all the Wolves rumours. #TraiHume #Sunlun
I think also, what comes over is the remarkable progress the club has made since the league one days. It’s a chalk and cheese situation. I also believe that one of the big factors on and off the field is the Luke O’Nien influence. He really embodies what our club is all about. Mr Sunderland. #Sunlun
Have that Frankie boy #sunlun

My thoughts this morning: RLB showed just how good he is, and showed how passionate he is about what he’s doing. The team got its desire and determination back, and showed just how good they are. The job’s not done yet, but let’s be honest, that was a feel-good match!
#SAFC #tilTheEnd #Sunlun
That’s what I’d call a brave team selection. My nerves are already jangling. These games are a nightmare, can’t enjoy them unless we’re 3-0 up! Ha’way the lads!
#SAFC #Sunlun #’til the end
Ridiculous red card today. Mayenda absolute class in a gritty performance. Neil superb at the back. But what did Tommy Watson offer?
#Sunlun #SAFC
Sometimes I wish I didn’t care. But I do, it’s part of me. Defeats hurt but some defeats hurt more than others. Today’s capitulation was simply awful.
#SAFC #Sunlun
Let’s be honest, it’s usually the bad ones. Historically, it’s always a few weeks, isn’t it!

Pie in container, surrounded by gravy.
Sign outside stable door, with coloured chalk, stating: Welcome to Propa! See menu inside!
View through door of former stable, brick walls, with chalkboard menu on wall, and counter with bottles on it and PROPA sign on front.
Side view of red van with VAUX in gold letters. Along side of van are six beer taps. Square with renovated stables in background.
If you're near Sunderland, highly recommend phenomenally good North East grub at Propa, owned by Si King (with whom we chatted - lovely bloke). The veggie pie & mash is sensational.
