Did anyone make anything of the sprinklers staying on in our half only after half time? More gamesmanship??
I assumed it was more ‘sporting advantage’ as well. What an astonishing evening in so many ways. JJ, Stocko, the astonishing support, the post match scenes, the thousands of empty seats, the complete team performance, Pete Couhig in the crowd near us looking like he’d been on a road trip with the Grateful Dead. And the sad sad faces of franchisees as we left the ground. Memories to last a lifetime.

Sad,sad faces? You must have left the stand earlier than me as I didn’t see a single home supporter when I finally left the ground.
I thought they put water down in the half we were attacking in the second half but it appears not.

We were one of the earliest to leave (after I’d say 15 minutes) as Mrs Moobs had to be up at 5:30 for work. The sounds coming from our end as we walked to our car were wonderful.
Who would we rather? Sheffield Weds suddenly looking on top after not having much of a look in.
Momentum is with them and I think I'd rather Sheff Wed. Sunderland a bit of a bogey team for us and I sometimes think teams are a little in awe of them.
Neither of them anything that special though. Play like we can plus a bit of luck and we go up.

Same with me. I felt very guilty hearing Sammy Vokes on 3CR say 'Look at that no-one's left yet!' as I drove out of concrete cow land....
Can I just say, there is no way there are two Iranian CBs better than Taffs, anywhere in the world. I feel like spamming the Iranian FA with his highlights till they give him a WC slot...

Started watching these recently. The time and effort he puts into them really show, loads of excellent different angles, informative, entertaining and great to get a behind the scenes look at some of the squad.
Found the game footage absolutely fascinating. Goes to show that it doesn't really matter who is wearing the captain's armband (although I'm sure it's a great honour to wear it) you can still be a leader.
Just love how much he dedicates himself to the sport, and how he "lives the life" away from the training ground as well as when he's there. This is someone getting the very best out of himself by doing everything he can.

I enjoyed this more and more:
I actually thought that too - hoping for some defensive slips. Nice try MK!

Plus an extra 30 mins and a days' less recovery for the winner of this...
That surely isn't any consequence with the final a whole 11 days away?

True story
It's a fitness app
I can’t stop watching that Joe Jacobson tackle.
On a par with Stewart nicking it off Taylor’s boot at Wembley.
Just sensational.
Just seen the tackle JJ got booked for again - I think we're quite fortunate to have him available for the final!
Agreed.

@floyd that's tear jerking

It to mention that wonder tackle in the second half’m
Up a bit early @perfidious_albion ?! ??

Does he wear a mic in the game?!

Think I would end up lumping him one, he never stops nagging!!!!! Superb centre back, must be 1st on the team sheet?
I reckon they welcome the nagging! Makes their job a lot easier if there's someone behind them reading the game telling them where to be
Sunderland on Twitter are saying ticket details today so I imagine we should hear something this afternoon as well
I wonder if Simon Garner had the same pre-match fitness routine before the playoffs back in 1994.
Fascinating watch. Beside the point but Dean Lewington was giving off Ray Parlour vibes at the end there. He's no Romford Pele!
This made me genuinely laugh out loud.
