1
00:00:06,005 --> 00:00:08,258
Sunderland's chairman,
Kyril Louis-Dreyfus,
2
00:00:08,258 --> 00:00:11,928
has revealed that he doesn't
hold the majority of the club's shares.
3
00:00:11,928 --> 00:00:16,975
{\an8}What was believed to be a takeover
has turned out to be a makeover.
4
00:00:16,975 --> 00:00:20,478
It means we've been lied to,
we've been misled. It's just shocking.
5
00:00:20,478 --> 00:00:23,815
{\an8}What's going on? It's just a big mystery.
6
00:00:30,071 --> 00:00:32,824
{\an8}If there's uncertainty
at the ownership level,
7
00:00:32,824 --> 00:00:36,578
{\an8}it filters down through the organization
to all departments.
8
00:00:37,328 --> 00:00:40,665
What the football club
desperately needs is for some stability.
9
00:00:40,665 --> 00:00:42,083
How are you? All good?
10
00:00:42,083 --> 00:00:45,003
When I came to the club,
the takeover was very complicated
11
00:00:45,003 --> 00:00:47,630
because there were multiple
shareholders involved.
12
00:00:47,630 --> 00:00:51,050
The deal we struck was that I become
the controlling shareholder,
13
00:00:51,050 --> 00:00:53,344
but not the majority shareholder
of the club,
14
00:00:53,344 --> 00:00:56,431
which is probably
where the confusion came from.
15
00:00:56,431 --> 00:00:58,349
- How are you?
- All good. All good.
16
00:00:58,349 --> 00:00:59,559
How is everything going?
17
00:00:59,559 --> 00:01:03,313
I have the most seats on the board
and full executive control.
18
00:01:03,813 --> 00:01:06,566
So this is what was a condition
for me to do the deal,
19
00:01:06,566 --> 00:01:09,277
and this is what was the case
from day one,
20
00:01:09,277 --> 00:01:12,489
but ultimately,
was never meant to mislead anyone.
21
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:17,577
Yeah, I understand completely where
the skepticism from the fans comes from,
22
00:01:17,577 --> 00:01:19,162
with all the history of the club,
23
00:01:19,162 --> 00:01:22,624
but I think priority for now
is to focus on the pitch,
24
00:01:22,624 --> 00:01:25,502
and all of the other things
can sort out in due course.
25
00:01:26,669 --> 00:01:28,671
I think that most people in my position
26
00:01:28,671 --> 00:01:31,633
wouldn't choose to, you know,
move to the Northeast
27
00:01:31,633 --> 00:01:34,677
and get involved in a football club,
especially in the third tier,
28
00:01:34,677 --> 00:01:38,598
because it's not as glamorous
as the Premier League.
29
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:41,184
But to me, it was a very intrinsic choice.
30
00:01:41,184 --> 00:01:44,354
I've always had football
at the forefront of my life.
31
00:01:44,354 --> 00:01:46,898
- This looks amazing.
- All state-of-the-art.
32
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:50,944
My dad bought Marseille
more or less
33
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:53,404
right around the time when I was born...
34
00:01:57,367 --> 00:02:00,537
...so I really-- My first memories,
my first childhood pictures
35
00:02:00,537 --> 00:02:03,373
were of me wearing the Marseille kits.
36
00:02:06,459 --> 00:02:08,628
It was extremely, extremely exciting,
37
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:12,298
because you have a big, passionate
football club, similar to Sunderland,
38
00:02:12,298 --> 00:02:16,344
where the people
really live and breathe the football club.
39
00:02:16,344 --> 00:02:18,304
There's only one team.
40
00:02:23,101 --> 00:02:25,019
I really felt this excitement.
41
00:02:28,231 --> 00:02:30,608
I think I was really privileged,
more than anything else,
42
00:02:30,608 --> 00:02:33,653
to... to be involved
at such a young age and...
43
00:02:34,445 --> 00:02:37,532
You know, I spent my summer there
when I was 14.
44
00:02:37,532 --> 00:02:40,118
I lived on the academy.
45
00:02:40,118 --> 00:02:42,412
We still had
Didier Deschamps as the coach,
46
00:02:42,412 --> 00:02:44,581
who is now
the French national team manager.
47
00:02:47,709 --> 00:02:49,377
I had a lot of good mentors,
48
00:02:49,377 --> 00:02:53,131
a lot of good, um, good CEOs we had
over the years there,
49
00:02:53,673 --> 00:02:55,884
that I could really learn a lot from.
50
00:02:57,051 --> 00:02:59,512
Something that I love about
professional sport,
51
00:02:59,512 --> 00:03:02,473
I think the relentless pressure
is something I really enjoy.
52
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:06,895
Welcome back
to the Stadium of Light.
53
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:09,439
This is a game, there's no excuses
not to win it, are there?
54
00:03:10,023 --> 00:03:12,525
{\an8}If you look at the table,
it's ever so tight,
55
00:03:12,525 --> 00:03:17,113
{\an8}and Sunderland can't take for granted
that they'll finish in that top six.
56
00:03:17,113 --> 00:03:20,200
Roberts in the 85th minute now.
57
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,745
Clarke again. Clarke. Now back to Roberts.
Roberts in the penalty area.
58
00:03:23,745 --> 00:03:26,915
Oh, what a good ball!
59
00:03:26,915 --> 00:03:30,043
{\an8}From six yards,
drives it into the bottom right corner.
60
00:03:30,627 --> 00:03:33,338
Your work is being judged
every three days,
61
00:03:33,338 --> 00:03:36,132
especially here
where you play 46 times a season.
62
00:03:36,132 --> 00:03:39,177
Across here on the left
to Cirkin. Cirkin now.
63
00:03:39,177 --> 00:03:41,262
Running into the penalty area
on the left-hand side.
64
00:03:41,262 --> 00:03:44,182
- Chips one into the middle. Can he?
- Oh!
65
00:03:44,182 --> 00:03:47,644
{\an8}The game is gonna end nil-nil.
66
00:03:47,644 --> 00:03:50,521
{\an8}You basically have Tuesday,
Saturday, Tuesday,
67
00:03:50,521 --> 00:03:53,816
where either you win,
and all the hard work pays off...
68
00:03:56,527 --> 00:03:58,696
Swings a cross in here. Oh.
69
00:03:58,696 --> 00:04:02,450
- Yes! That's the one.
- And Nathan Broadhead's done it again!
70
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:05,411
{\an8}And it's another late, late show
from Sunderland.
71
00:04:05,411 --> 00:04:09,332
{\an8}...or you lose and have to find solutions
to try and improve the situation.
72
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:12,877
Sunderland have lost more
league games than they'd like.
73
00:04:12,877 --> 00:04:14,671
At the moment,
they're in the playoff places,
74
00:04:14,671 --> 00:04:17,048
but they're queuing up
outside Sheffield Wednesday.
75
00:04:17,048 --> 00:04:19,634
Sunderland have played a lot of games.
I think they're in the mix,
76
00:04:19,634 --> 00:04:21,469
but Sheffield Wednesday
have games in hand.
77
00:04:21,469 --> 00:04:23,346
They're the ones
you're looking at, thinking,
78
00:04:23,346 --> 00:04:25,640
"Can it get back to where it wants to be?"
79
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,226
And what a moment that is.
80
00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:29,310
Barry Bannan.
81
00:04:30,353 --> 00:04:33,856
{\an8}The door to the playoff places
has opened once again,
82
00:04:33,856 --> 00:04:36,317
{\an8}and Sheffield Wednesday
have walked right through it.
83
00:04:37,443 --> 00:04:40,238
More than half the sides
in that division
84
00:04:40,238 --> 00:04:43,700
do not know which league
they'll be playing in next season.
85
00:04:45,660 --> 00:04:47,704
Everybody's saying,
"Oh, we need six points."
86
00:04:47,704 --> 00:04:51,207
And we do need six points. Yeah,
I mean, I'm not stupid. I know that. Um...
87
00:04:51,207 --> 00:04:53,293
But it's much sort of
easier said than done.

I knew that if we're not
gonna get promoted,
91
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,511
it will be reflected
as a bad decision by myself.
92
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:07,515
Embleton.
That's not a bad ball at all.
93
00:05:07,515 --> 00:05:09,350
Onto it there was Stewart.
94
00:05:11,269 --> 00:05:15,815
{\an8}It may prove to be a missed opportunity
in their hunt for a playoff spot.
95
00:05:15,815 --> 00:05:18,359

Another sunny day in Sunderland.
113
00:06:55,123 --> 00:06:57,291
Well, we've had plenty of disappointments,
114
00:06:57,291 --> 00:07:00,753
but you don't know
what's going to happen, do ya?
115
00:07:02,171 --> 00:07:03,840
And it does go through your mind.
116
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:04,966
Oh.
117
00:07:04,966 --> 00:07:07,844
Déjà vu, you know.
This is as far as we're going to get.
118
00:07:07,844 --> 00:07:10,805
{\an8}Got to a point
where we had to start winning every game.
119
00:07:10,805 --> 00:07:12,974
{\an8}You know? And we're, like, six, seventh.
120
00:07:13,474 --> 00:07:16,102
Whereas one time, it looked
as though we were nearly done.
121
00:07:16,102 --> 00:07:18,813
You'd have put your mortgage on
that we're gonna get promotion,
122
00:07:18,813 --> 00:07:20,982
but it didn't work out.
123
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:26,696
{\an8}It's an extraordinary run-in
in League One this year.
124
00:07:26,696 --> 00:07:30,032
{\an8}We've just gotta win our games,
get back in the dressing room afterwards,
125
00:07:30,032 --> 00:07:32,743
then look for the other results,
see how that's gone,
126
00:07:32,743 --> 00:07:35,329
and, uh, take it, as I say, step-by-step.
127
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:38,499
Sunderland massively
need points. Do you agree with that?
128
00:07:38,499 --> 00:07:40,585
Uh, yeah, of course we need points.
129
00:07:40,585 --> 00:07:42,879
Listen, let's be brutally honest.
In this game coming up,
130
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:45,631
there's certainly gonna be more pressure
on us than there is on them.
131
00:07:48,968 --> 00:07:52,096
The ball curled in
towards the post. Oh, it's in!
132
00:07:52,096 --> 00:07:54,474
What a terrific free kick.
133
00:08:00,938 --> 00:08:02,857
...in and it's headed
down and in.
134
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:07,361
And Sunderland now lead 5-1.
135
00:08:12,617 --> 00:08:15,077
{\an8}So to the last day it goes.
136
00:08:15,077 --> 00:08:16,829
{\an8}It goes to the wire.
137
00:08:18,247 --> 00:08:20,833
{\an8}Sunderland have thrashed Cambridge
by five goals to one.
138
00:08:21,417 --> 00:08:23,961
They're in fourth
after their big win, on 80 points.
139
00:08:23,961 --> 00:08:26,881
One of three sides on 80 points.
140
00:08:34,472 --> 00:08:36,349
This is a club that...
141
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:39,143
You know, there hasn't been
that many really good days
142
00:08:39,143 --> 00:08:41,312
for quite a while now
at this football club.
143
00:08:41,312 --> 00:08:43,773
You and these players
have the chance to create one.
144
00:08:44,357 --> 00:08:46,567
Yeah. I just find it funny, this.
145
00:08:47,068 --> 00:08:50,780
Like, I know we've not had a good time,
but the negativity is incredible.
146
00:08:51,489 --> 00:08:54,075
I mean, I don't get caught up.
I don't lie in my bed at night
147
00:08:54,075 --> 00:08:57,662
thinking of if I'm the guy
that can get this club into the Champion--
148
00:08:57,662 --> 00:08:59,163
I don't think that way.
149
00:09:01,791 --> 00:09:03,793
{\an8}If you don't do the work behind the scenes
150
00:09:03,793 --> 00:09:06,921
{\an8}and don't get the processes right,
you don't ever get to that point.
151
00:09:06,921 --> 00:09:08,673
So at this moment in time,
152
00:09:08,673 --> 00:09:11,550
my focus is on getting the team
as prepared as possible
153
00:09:12,510 --> 00:09:13,844
and trying to win that match.
154
00:09:15,304 --> 00:09:18,558
In the battle for the playoffs,
Sheffield Wednesday, 82, Sunderland, 81,
155
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:20,560
Plymouth, 80, Wycombe, 80.
156
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:24,063
Three out of those four.
Who will be the side who will miss out?
157
00:09:29,527 --> 00:09:33,239
Sheffield Wednesday starting
the day in fourth place, of course.
158
00:09:33,239 --> 00:09:37,076
Sunderland fifth, Plymouth sixth,
a point behind Sunderland.
159
00:09:37,743 --> 00:09:40,746
As Evans threads it through.
Lovely ball for Broadhead.
160
00:09:40,746 --> 00:09:42,164
Broadhead finishes!
161
00:09:42,164 --> 00:09:44,292
Yeah!
162
00:09:46,460 --> 00:09:49,255
Tenth minute,
Nathan Broadhead scores for Sunderland.
163
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:50,506
Get in.
164
00:09:50,506 --> 00:09:52,800
Lovely ball through
to him by Evans.
165
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,136
And Broadhead kept his head
166
00:09:55,136 --> 00:09:58,389
and smashed it down in the right corner
underneath the goalkeeper.
167
00:09:58,389 --> 00:10:00,057
What a marvelous goal.
168
00:10:00,057 --> 00:10:01,976
There goes the full-time whistle.
169
00:10:03,352 --> 00:10:05,146
{\an8}Mazuma Stadium erupts.
170
00:10:06,814 --> 00:10:09,108
{\an8}It's ended with victory for Sunderland.
171
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:12,194
A place in the playoffs
against Sheffield Wednesday.
172
00:10:12,862 --> 00:10:14,322
Job well done.
173
00:10:14,322 --> 00:10:17,158
Alex Neil applauds the Sunderland fans.
174
00:10:17,742 --> 00:10:20,578
Alex Neil is hitting
game after game.
175
00:10:21,370 --> 00:10:22,455
He's got it right.
176
00:10:40,389 --> 00:10:43,267
Send us...
Send us whoever you want through...
177
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:52,360
You know, my club's there
to support. And you've always got...
178
00:10:53,277 --> 00:10:56,530
I think a lot of people when we first went
down thought this is gonna be easy.
179
00:10:57,406 --> 00:10:59,617
{\an8}Uh, there's been nothing nice
about League One at all.
180
00:10:59,617 --> 00:11:02,495
It's been horrible.
181
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:03,579
Right side, isn't it?
182
00:11:03,579 --> 00:11:05,164
But for some reason...
183
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:06,624
Right side in the army.
184
00:11:06,624 --> 00:11:08,876
...I just feel as though it's our time.
185
00:11:08,876 --> 00:11:10,711
I really do.
I feel as though it's our time.
186
00:11:14,215 --> 00:11:16,592
Couple of years ago,
I was going down with PTSD myself,
187
00:11:16,592 --> 00:11:19,637
and I was really struggling.
And I was struggling to get the help.
188
00:11:20,221 --> 00:11:23,683
So I spoke to me local MP,
Grahame Morris, and his team,
189
00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:25,184
couple of local county councillors.
190
00:11:25,184 --> 00:11:27,228
And they said,
"Let's do something about it."
191
00:11:27,228 --> 00:11:28,896
So we set up East Durham Veterans.
192
00:11:28,896 --> 00:11:32,108
We help people and we're saving lives.
We've got a brilliant team here, you know.
193
00:11:32,108 --> 00:11:34,110
Just a shame a few are Middlesbrough fans,
194
00:11:34,110 --> 00:11:36,570
but you can't have everything, can you?
195
00:11:38,114 --> 00:11:39,782
- Shotgun.
- Come on, mate.
196
00:11:42,785 --> 00:11:44,120
Get the tunes on, lad.
197
00:11:46,414 --> 00:11:47,665
{\an8}Nice sunny day.
198
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:51,877
{\an8}- Look at that. Beautiful.
- You don't get that in London.
199
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,631
{\an8}We don't get an awful lot of time
to actually take a step back
200
00:11:55,631 --> 00:11:58,342
{\an8}and step into the community,
and see what, like,
201
00:11:58,342 --> 00:12:01,053
{\an8}the people who are coming to support us
week in week out
202
00:12:01,053 --> 00:12:02,972
{\an8}get up to on a day-to-day basis, so...
203
00:12:02,972 --> 00:12:05,266
The support we get
is actually, like, mental.
204
00:12:05,266 --> 00:12:06,684
It's fantastic really.
205
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:09,603
Little day out for me and Jack.
206
00:12:12,523 --> 00:12:14,984
- Hello, mate. All right?
- All right? Nice to meet you. I'm Andy.
207
00:12:14,984 --> 00:12:16,277
- And you. Jack.
- Hi. All right?
208
00:12:16,277 --> 00:12:18,279
Welcome
to East Durham Veterans Trust.
209
00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:19,822
- I'll take youse in.
- Cool.
210
00:12:20,656 --> 00:12:22,283
- Hi. Youse all right?
- All right?
211
00:12:22,283 --> 00:12:24,285
Can I get to shake hands? Aye?
212
00:12:24,785 --> 00:12:27,413
I'll tell you what it is, right?
I was well impressed, thank you.
213
00:12:27,413 --> 00:12:28,581
Cheers.
214
00:12:28,581 --> 00:12:30,249
The last few years of this...
215
00:12:30,249 --> 00:12:32,710
And it's just--
The whole place is just lifting up,
216
00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:35,546
and everybody's on a feel-good factor.
So thank you for that.
217
00:12:35,546 --> 00:12:36,547
You're welcome.
218
00:12:37,047 --> 00:12:39,091
We're going to be
cracking the whip on youse.
219
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:41,260
You're going to be
in the kitchen helping out in there.
220
00:12:41,260 --> 00:12:43,637
Hot dogs and chips are on order.
221
00:12:43,637 --> 00:12:46,515
We'll find out if they're good cooks
in about ten minutes.
222
00:12:46,515 --> 00:12:49,101
If I didn't cook within my household,
we wouldn't eat.
223
00:12:49,602 --> 00:12:52,938
So I sort of have to. I'd probably be--
We'd be sat here if I didn't cook.
224
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:56,484
If your relationships ever break down,
we have a free meal here every Friday.
225
00:12:56,484 --> 00:12:58,527
- It's called Mates and Bates.
- Perfect.
226
00:12:58,527 --> 00:13:00,988
It's brilliant.
Saturdays, you get a free bacon butty.
227
00:13:00,988 --> 00:13:03,157
If we're not away, I might pop by anyway.
228
00:13:04,450 --> 00:13:05,618
Do the job in this.
229
00:13:05,618 --> 00:13:06,952
- You all right?
- Suits you.
230
00:13:06,952 --> 00:13:09,747
- Splodge them on there somewhere.
- Bring it closer.
231
00:13:10,331 --> 00:13:11,874
- There's one.
- Sound.
232
00:13:11,874 --> 00:13:14,502
- What happy customer wants this?
- That's going out to the veterans.
233
00:13:14,502 --> 00:13:15,586
Is it?
234
00:13:16,128 --> 00:13:17,755
- There you go, buddy.
- Thank you.
235
00:13:17,755 --> 00:13:18,672
We got two more.
236
00:13:18,672 --> 00:13:21,258
What brings me here
is the camaraderie.
237
00:13:21,258 --> 00:13:23,677
Uh, it's just like being
in the army again.
238
00:13:25,137 --> 00:13:28,015
I-- I came here
because I was-- I was on a real downer.
239
00:13:29,016 --> 00:13:33,187
{\an8}And Andy rung me and said,
"Look, come along and we'll sort you out."
240
00:13:33,687 --> 00:13:35,898
"We'll put you back on an--
on an even keel."
241
00:13:35,898 --> 00:13:37,733
And they've done it. They've done that.
242
00:13:37,733 --> 00:13:39,568
I've got the smile back.
243
00:13:39,568 --> 00:13:41,737
I can't really win, to be honest.
I'd love to...
244
00:13:41,737 --> 00:13:45,574
And it's just-- It's that sense
of belonging to something.
245
00:13:47,243 --> 00:13:50,079
Yeah, I've just--
I've always been on the move all the time.
246
00:13:50,079 --> 00:13:52,706
So I've never actually stayed in a place
247
00:13:52,706 --> 00:13:55,251
for, like, more than six months
or 12 months.
248
00:13:55,251 --> 00:13:57,711
- What club did you come from?
- From Man City.
249
00:13:57,711 --> 00:13:59,880
- I was there for seven years.
- Seven years?
250
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:01,173
Yeah. I was always on the move.
251
00:14:01,173 --> 00:14:04,051
I went to Celtic, I went to Middlesbrough,
I went to Derby.
252
00:14:04,051 --> 00:14:06,303
So when I came here, I put my--
253
00:14:06,303 --> 00:14:09,890
Well, my career in the fact that
I'd do something well at Sunderland.
254
00:14:09,890 --> 00:14:12,852
Kind of just gave back what I can
to them as a club really.
255
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:13,936
Yeah.
256
00:14:13,936 --> 00:14:16,730
The big man...
257
00:14:16,730 --> 00:14:18,649
People appreciate
what we're doing here
258
00:14:18,649 --> 00:14:21,443
and that we can understand
and we can empathize with them,
259
00:14:21,443 --> 00:14:23,946
what they've gone through,
and the experiences they had.
260
00:14:24,446 --> 00:14:27,199
You know, when someone does come in
and they are on the bottom,
261
00:14:27,199 --> 00:14:29,868
it's up to us, then,
to rally around you and lift you up
262
00:14:29,868 --> 00:14:31,745
and make you feel part of the family.
263
00:14:33,664 --> 00:14:36,125
- Wanna be in it as well, love?
- I'm sure that was it.
264
00:14:36,125 --> 00:14:37,042
Go on, then.
265
00:14:37,751 --> 00:14:40,963
It's a humbling experience,
coming to places like this.
266
00:14:41,630 --> 00:14:44,884
They come in all week
speaking about the game.
267
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:48,262
Come in on a Saturday, Sunday, Monday,
and they're still speaking about the game.
268
00:14:49,054 --> 00:14:50,973
Thank you. I try my best.
269
00:14:50,973 --> 00:14:53,350
Just good to see
how much it actually means to everybody
270
00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:54,852
and brings everybody together.
271
00:14:54,852 --> 00:14:56,103
Versatile.
272
00:14:56,604 --> 00:14:59,148
It's a nice connection to have
between us and them.
273
00:15:06,113 --> 00:15:09,116
Two, one.
274
00:15:09,116 --> 00:15:10,659
All right, chaps, in we come.
275
00:15:11,785 --> 00:15:14,163
Four, five... That's it. Better.
276
00:15:14,163 --> 00:15:15,080
Six.
277
00:15:17,291 --> 00:15:22,212
It was around Christmas time
last year, um, Lee Johnson rang me up.
278
00:15:22,713 --> 00:15:25,049
Wanted to sign me.
Wanted to bring me on board.
279
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:28,761
Good.
280
00:15:32,097 --> 00:15:33,432
I was on loan in France,
281
00:15:33,432 --> 00:15:35,684
not really playing,
not really kicking a ball.
282
00:15:35,684 --> 00:15:37,478
Two, one... Yep.
283
00:15:38,896 --> 00:15:40,981
Just wanted to go back
and play football.
284
00:15:40,981 --> 00:15:43,609
You miss that, kind of,
being on loan a lot.
285
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:45,527
You don't really get to feel for a club,
286
00:15:45,527 --> 00:15:48,530
or, you know, that you're valued
or you're wanted.
287
00:15:54,453 --> 00:15:56,288
I started really quite young.
288
00:15:57,373 --> 00:15:59,917
Center-back going off,
Patrick Roberts on.
289
00:16:00,417 --> 00:16:03,003
{\an8}Baby-faced, 17 years of age.
290
00:16:03,629 --> 00:16:07,508
{\an8}Fulham signed me,
and then kind of a quick-fire two years.
291
00:16:07,508 --> 00:16:09,927
I kind of shot up,
really, you know, improved a lot.
292
00:16:09,927 --> 00:16:12,513
This is a player apparently,
Patrick Roberts,
293
00:16:12,513 --> 00:16:15,391
who's being watched by Barcelona,
Real Madrid, and Man United.
294
00:16:15,391 --> 00:16:18,435
So he can play.
295
00:16:18,435 --> 00:16:21,522
You know, it felt-- felt good,
but it was just the beginning.
296
00:16:23,482 --> 00:16:26,860
I was happy obviously to go to Man City,
which, as an 18-year-old, you would be.
297
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:28,654
We're seeing
Patrick Roberts,
298
00:16:28,654 --> 00:16:32,282
18-year-old
who cost £12 million from Fulham.
299
00:16:33,659 --> 00:16:38,414
I think I stayed for six months,
and then I get moved on to Celtic.
300
00:16:41,041 --> 00:16:43,043
{\an8}Roberts is buzzing
about again!
301
00:16:43,043 --> 00:16:45,254
{\an8}- And he's scoring again!
302
00:16:46,338 --> 00:16:47,756
Just phenomenal.
303
00:16:49,091 --> 00:16:50,551
What a talent he is.
304
00:16:50,551 --> 00:16:53,429
Patrick, congratulations.
How does this feel to win the title?
305
00:16:53,429 --> 00:16:55,931
Yeah, I'm very pleased.
I'm very pleased to get this...
306
00:16:57,099 --> 00:17:00,144
But then I get moved on, again.
307
00:17:03,647 --> 00:17:06,024
The loan system, it is broken.
308
00:17:07,776 --> 00:17:10,863
{\an8}It's a system that benefits
the clubs over the players.
309
00:17:11,363 --> 00:17:13,949
{\an8}In to Roberts. A chance here
as he wriggles through...
310
00:17:13,949 --> 00:17:16,160
{\an8}You can be sent
from club to club...
311
00:17:17,745 --> 00:17:19,246
{\an8}Patrick Roberts.
312
00:17:19,246 --> 00:17:20,497
...country to country.
313
00:17:21,790 --> 00:17:23,584
Roberts, Roberts, Roberts!
314
00:17:24,209 --> 00:17:26,211
{\an8}It becomes almost impossible
315
00:17:26,211 --> 00:17:29,298
{\an8}to build momentum
and progress as a player.
316
00:17:31,383 --> 00:17:34,428
While for some, it can act as a platform
to show what they can do,
317
00:17:34,428 --> 00:17:38,682
for many others, it's the very thing
that stagnates their careers.
318
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:44,897
You move different places,
319
00:17:45,773 --> 00:17:47,941
and you get different opinions on you.
320
00:17:49,068 --> 00:17:50,402
It can be quite tough.
321
00:17:51,612 --> 00:17:53,197
A team like Sunderland, obviously,
322
00:17:53,197 --> 00:17:55,824
wanna be on the up,
wanna get back to where they belong,
323
00:17:55,824 --> 00:17:58,285
and you know, I just wanted to be
kind of a part of that.
324
00:18:12,382 --> 00:18:14,635
Football has
so many intangible things
325
00:18:14,635 --> 00:18:16,720
which are outside of your control.
326
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,473
The reality is, I think,
guaranteeing success,
327
00:18:20,474 --> 00:18:22,476
it's difficult in this division.
328
00:18:22,476 --> 00:18:27,689
But I've been fortunate enough
that I have a very supportive family.
329
00:18:30,651 --> 00:18:33,362
My twin brother
shares some of his experiences
330
00:18:33,362 --> 00:18:34,988
in his current projects.
331
00:18:35,656 --> 00:18:39,243
I do as well,
which is a very valuable thing to do.
332
00:18:42,579 --> 00:18:46,708
My parents tried to raise us in a way
where we didn't really feel
333
00:18:46,708 --> 00:18:50,045
what the Louis-Dreyfus name
might-- might bring with it.
334
00:18:51,296 --> 00:18:54,007
I think we had
a pretty conventional family.
335
00:18:54,007 --> 00:18:58,220
Both parents lived at home and gave
a lot of time and effort to raise us.
336
00:18:59,388 --> 00:19:02,015
A lot of that changed
when my dad really became ill,
337
00:19:02,015 --> 00:19:04,726
which was around 2007.
338
00:19:05,894 --> 00:19:08,480
At that point my mother was 24/7 with him,
339
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,568
trying to go from doctor to doctor
and trying to cure him.
340
00:19:13,569 --> 00:19:16,738
We had to become more independent.
341
00:19:16,738 --> 00:19:21,326
My dad passed away, um, now, 12 years ago.
342
00:19:29,126 --> 00:19:32,588
My most fond memories with him
were always at football games.
343
00:19:34,381 --> 00:19:37,801
Most of my memories
is of us losing a final together
344
00:19:37,801 --> 00:19:40,345
and being-- being upset
about it together, to be honest.
345
00:19:40,345 --> 00:19:44,433
But at the same time, um, yeah,
there was a lot of good moments as well.
346
00:19:49,646 --> 00:19:54,026
Something that always inspired me
is the love he had for the football club.
347
00:19:55,277 --> 00:19:58,488
This is what has guided me to Sunderland.
348
00:20:01,950 --> 00:20:04,745
My parents always said,
"The worst you can do is to do a job
349
00:20:04,745 --> 00:20:08,457
without a real sense of purpose
behind it and conviction."
350
00:20:09,458 --> 00:20:13,545
I put pressure on myself
because I really want to do well.
351
00:20:16,381 --> 00:20:20,010
Well, time for sport now. There's
a nervous night ahead for Sunderland fans.
352
00:20:20,010 --> 00:20:22,221
And Jeff Brown is at the Stadium of Light
353
00:20:22,221 --> 00:20:25,224
for the first leg of the Black Cats'
League One playoff semifinal
354
00:20:25,224 --> 00:20:26,683
against Sheffield Wednesday, Jeff.
355
00:20:28,185 --> 00:20:32,105
{\an8}Thanks, Dawn. As you say,
there's a nail-biting 90 minutes ahead
356
00:20:32,105 --> 00:20:34,024
for fans of both teams.
357
00:20:34,024 --> 00:20:36,902
There'll be a crowd in excess
of 40,000 here tonight.
358
00:20:36,902 --> 00:20:40,239
The vast majority, of course,
cheering on the Black Cats.
359
00:20:40,239 --> 00:20:42,658
so these two sides will move on
to Sheffield on Monday,
360
00:20:42,658 --> 00:20:45,577
and then, two weeks tomorrow,
it's that big match at Wembley.
361
00:20:46,662 --> 00:20:47,704
Come on!
362
00:20:51,375 --> 00:20:53,835
It was touch-and-go
whether we'd get in the playoffs.
363
00:20:54,628 --> 00:20:56,672
If you don't do well in your first leg,
364
00:20:56,672 --> 00:20:58,966
then second leg
you're up against it again.
365
00:21:01,885 --> 00:21:05,472
But the majority of the people
in the city, they're all nervous because,
366
00:21:05,472 --> 00:21:07,975
can we do it?
Is it third time lucky or not?
367
00:21:08,892 --> 00:21:11,103
Don't worry
what's happening in the league now.
368
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:13,563
This is-- This is where it starts.
This is the playoff games.
369
00:21:13,563 --> 00:21:15,649
This is who can hold
their nerve on the day.
370
00:21:15,649 --> 00:21:18,026
Yeah, it's gonna be
one hell of an occasion.
371
00:21:18,026 --> 00:21:19,903
I couldn't call who's gonna win that.
372
00:21:21,113 --> 00:21:24,449
Football's a very much mental game
in terms of how you approach it.
373
00:21:25,242 --> 00:21:27,828
I've spoken a lot about
how much they deserve to be there,
374
00:21:27,828 --> 00:21:30,038
the hard work
they've put in to that point.
375
00:21:30,539 --> 00:21:33,875
What's the point of being fearful
of what the outcome might look like?
376
00:21:35,252 --> 00:21:38,463
Because I think fear--
Fear can cripple you as a player at times.
377
00:21:42,968 --> 00:21:45,095
All these Sunderland fans
inside the ground
378
00:21:45,095 --> 00:21:47,472
have been scarred by the playoffs,
young and old.
379
00:21:47,472 --> 00:21:49,308
How do you write a different history?
380
00:21:49,308 --> 00:21:51,184
The fact is
it's not the same players.
381
00:21:51,184 --> 00:21:53,562
It's a different time,
it's a different team.
382
00:21:53,562 --> 00:21:57,399
Like, all they spoke about was,
"We haven't won since 1973,"
383
00:21:57,399 --> 00:22:00,777
and "blah, blah." You know what I mean?
And it was continuous.
384
00:22:01,278 --> 00:22:02,446
This time's different.
385
00:22:05,907 --> 00:22:06,908
Come on, lads.
386
00:22:06,908 --> 00:22:08,827
- We're going on.
- Come on.
387
00:22:12,581 --> 00:22:17,627
This is the EFL's greatest show,
and it is box office.
388
00:22:19,463 --> 00:22:21,923
- This is incredible.
- It's huge.
389
00:22:21,923 --> 00:22:25,218
You've got two giants of the English game,
trapped in League One.
390
00:22:25,218 --> 00:22:27,763
Well, this stadium rises up,
391
00:22:27,763 --> 00:22:31,391
and this city has come out in full force
392
00:22:31,391 --> 00:22:34,644
just when their club needs them most.
393
00:22:35,145 --> 00:22:38,398
Can the players
do this record-breaking day justice?
394
00:22:38,899 --> 00:22:41,777
Sheffield Wednesday,
I-- I-- I think they're a really good team
395
00:22:41,777 --> 00:22:43,278
that you have to watch out for.
396
00:22:43,278 --> 00:22:44,905
You think Bannan will be all right?
397
00:22:44,905 --> 00:22:48,408
Bannan has to be all right,
'cause he's key for Sheffield Wednesday.
398
00:22:48,408 --> 00:22:51,036
I would say the same
about Ross Stewart as well, up top.
399
00:22:51,036 --> 00:22:52,954
Look at how slick he is in front of goal.
400
00:22:52,954 --> 00:22:55,749
Some of the finishes recently
have been sensational.
401
00:22:59,294 --> 00:23:01,546
Two games, four days,
402
00:23:01,546 --> 00:23:05,467
but only one team
will walk down Wembley Way.
403
00:23:16,978 --> 00:23:19,189
The build-up to the game,
the gaffer said,
404
00:23:19,189 --> 00:23:22,400
"Listen, Luke, we're gonna have
a man-to-man job with Barry Bannan."
405
00:23:23,276 --> 00:23:26,029
So I was like,
"Listen, how man-to-man do you want me?"
406
00:23:26,613 --> 00:23:29,116
"If he goes to the toilet,
am I going to the toilet?"
407
00:23:29,116 --> 00:23:31,451
And he goes,
"Listen, wherever he goes, you go."
408
00:23:34,788 --> 00:23:37,249
Ha'way Sunderland! Come on, man!
409
00:23:38,250 --> 00:23:39,960
Palmer hooks it up the line.
410
00:23:40,460 --> 00:23:43,922
Two minutes in, the ball's got
to him on the right-hand side.
411
00:23:45,507 --> 00:23:47,300
And I thought, "Right, bang."
412
00:23:49,302 --> 00:23:52,013
Come on! Come on!
413
00:23:52,013 --> 00:23:53,390
That's brilliant!
414
00:23:53,390 --> 00:23:54,307
Come on!
415
00:23:54,891 --> 00:23:57,436
I stood up,
and the first thing he said to me was,
416
00:23:57,436 --> 00:23:59,437
"You have to do
more than that to stop me."
417
00:24:02,441 --> 00:24:03,984
I thought, "That's game on from there."
418
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,910
♪ And it's Sunderland
Sunderland FC ♪
419
00:24:13,910 --> 00:24:18,915
♪ We're by far the greatest team
The world has ever seen ♪
420
00:24:26,673 --> 00:24:28,466
Down the right-hand side again.
421
00:24:28,967 --> 00:24:31,428
He's got Berahino in the middle.
Into the penalty area.
422
00:24:31,428 --> 00:24:33,263
Patterson smothers the cross.
423
00:24:33,263 --> 00:24:34,347
Good goalkeeping.
424
00:24:34,890 --> 00:24:36,391
That's a warning.
425
00:24:36,975 --> 00:24:39,352
Down to the edge
of the penalty area.
426
00:24:39,352 --> 00:24:40,979
And the shot comes in.
427
00:24:40,979 --> 00:24:42,314
Oh, the bastard!
428
00:24:43,023 --> 00:24:44,274
Patrick Roberts.
429
00:24:44,274 --> 00:24:46,276
If anyone doubts
what he can do.
430
00:24:48,612 --> 00:24:50,614
Pat! Pat!
431
00:24:52,741 --> 00:24:55,869
Windass is in the box,
and Palmer's got forward again!
432
00:24:55,869 --> 00:24:57,162
And Patterson lost it.
433
00:24:58,246 --> 00:25:00,916
Looking to take on the ball back again.
Roberts down the outside.
434
00:25:00,916 --> 00:25:04,669
Beaten his man as well. Patrick Roberts
still going into the penalty area.
435
00:25:04,669 --> 00:25:07,005
Onto his left foot. Still Roberts.
Still Roberts. So close!
436
00:25:07,005 --> 00:25:09,132
Deflected over the bar.
437
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:16,681
Keep giving him the ball.
438
00:25:16,681 --> 00:25:20,143
He is a threat, and I think
Sheffield Wednesday are aware of that.
439
00:25:20,769 --> 00:25:21,770
Well done, son.
440
00:25:33,490 --> 00:25:34,366
Go on, Gooch.
441
00:25:37,911 --> 00:25:39,579
Clarke, comes on
to his right foot.
442
00:25:39,579 --> 00:25:43,083
Pritchard. Gonna shoot with
his right foot. Curls it! Hits the bar!
443
00:25:43,792 --> 00:25:46,461
Fantastic.
Pritchard was unlucky there.
444
00:25:47,337 --> 00:25:49,923
It's looking--
It's coming to me, man. It's coming.
445
00:25:54,177 --> 00:25:56,429
On the edge of the right edge
of the penalty area.
446
00:25:58,014 --> 00:25:59,516
And he crosses with his right foot.
447
00:26:00,684 --> 00:26:01,768
Come on!
448
00:26:07,232 --> 00:26:11,486
Can Sunderland break away?
Stewart chasing after the clearance.
449
00:26:11,486 --> 00:26:12,862
Stewart makes it!
450
00:26:13,446 --> 00:26:14,489
Go on, son, run!
451
00:26:17,617 --> 00:26:18,868
It's half saved!
452
00:26:23,164 --> 00:26:25,500
Stewart again!
453
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:27,252
Puts it into the back of the net!
454
00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:29,713
- Get in there!
- Sunderland take the lead.
455
00:26:37,178 --> 00:26:41,391
Ross Stewart chasing
what seemed at first like a lost cause.
456
00:26:41,391 --> 00:26:43,560
Didn't give up. He got there first.
457
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,479
That long, languid,
deceptive stride of his.
458
00:26:46,479 --> 00:26:49,316
He got to the ball,
he got beyond the last man.
459
00:26:49,316 --> 00:26:51,985
He was one-on-one
with Bailey Peacock-Farrell.
460
00:26:51,985 --> 00:26:54,237
He shot, and Farrell half saved it.
461
00:26:55,572 --> 00:26:56,865
Come on! That's better!
462
00:26:56,865 --> 00:26:58,992
Come on! Come on!
463
00:26:58,992 --> 00:27:01,036
Well done, Ross Stewart.
464
00:27:01,036 --> 00:27:03,913
I tell you what,
he made that out of nothing didn't he?
465
00:27:04,497 --> 00:27:06,791
I mean, it all happened so quick.
466
00:27:07,292 --> 00:27:09,794
There was maybe half a second
where you've gone, "Oh."
467
00:27:09,794 --> 00:27:11,671
Like, "No." Like, you've missed.
468
00:27:15,550 --> 00:27:18,094
The noise, I-- I can't describe
what the noise was like.
469
00:27:18,094 --> 00:27:20,930
To see all the limbs,
the home end going mad.
470
00:27:21,848 --> 00:27:24,142
That's what made me want to be a striker.
471
00:27:24,726 --> 00:27:27,687
I just think there isn't a better feeling
in football than scoring a goal.
472
00:27:27,687 --> 00:27:29,856
But to score in a game of this magnitude,
473
00:27:31,232 --> 00:27:32,567
you know, wow.
474
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:38,031
The match is over.
475
00:27:38,615 --> 00:27:43,662
The referee, Mr. Donohue, puts his whistle
to his lips and signals the end.
476
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:48,792
{\an8}Wednesday exerted a bit of pressure,
477
00:27:48,792 --> 00:27:50,960
but Sunderland held firm.
478
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,215
And they, Gary Bennett,
will take a 1-0 lead into the second leg.
479
00:27:59,886 --> 00:28:02,305
Maybe could have scored
a couple more,
480
00:28:02,847 --> 00:28:04,307
{\an8}but it's only half of the job done.
481
00:28:04,307 --> 00:28:06,893
{\an8}Um, it's gonna be a massive game
back at their place,
482
00:28:06,893 --> 00:28:08,687
{\an8}and I think we've just gotta
stand up to it.
483
00:28:08,687 --> 00:28:12,357
{\an8}It's massive. It's gonna be big.
484
00:28:12,357 --> 00:28:16,611
And the Sunderland supporters
once again in full voice.
485
00:28:22,659 --> 00:28:25,286
For where we are, what we've been
through, the crowd's amazing.
486
00:28:25,286 --> 00:28:27,956
And there is that connection
now come back for the first time.
487
00:28:28,957 --> 00:28:31,126
It's hope,
and it is something positive.
488
00:28:31,751 --> 00:28:34,212
It's a shared-- It's a shared feeling.
489
00:28:38,591 --> 00:28:41,970
We are Sunderland, simple as that.
You know what I mean? Remember that.
490
00:29:03,032 --> 00:29:05,952
{\an8}We're back
with another Undr The Cosh podcast.
491
00:29:05,952 --> 00:29:06,870
{\an8}Jon.
492
00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:07,954
- Mr. Parkin.
- Chris.
493
00:29:08,496 --> 00:29:10,832
- Chris Brown. How we doing? All right?
- All right, Chris?
494
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:13,877
{\an8}Special, special episode this week.
495
00:29:13,877 --> 00:29:16,379
- Sunderland legend.
- Sunderland legend.
496
00:29:16,379 --> 00:29:18,256
{\an8}- Alan "Bomber" Brown.
- Pleased to be here.
497
00:29:18,256 --> 00:29:19,716
Father like son.
498
00:29:19,716 --> 00:29:20,675
Same nose.
499
00:29:24,721 --> 00:29:26,264
So here we are, the playoffs.
500
00:29:26,264 --> 00:29:28,224
Excitement levels are off the scale,
aren't they?
501
00:29:28,224 --> 00:29:29,684
I like the playoffs, yeah.
502
00:29:29,684 --> 00:29:32,228
It's the way to do it, isn't it?
A blaze of glory.
503
00:29:32,228 --> 00:29:34,314
- If you win, by the way. If you win.
- Yeah.
504
00:29:35,523 --> 00:29:38,985
{\an8}Your Wrexham goal,
it's one of the best I've ever seen.
505
00:29:38,985 --> 00:29:41,446
It was one d--
It was red hot in there, 100 degrees.
506
00:29:41,446 --> 00:29:44,240
Honest, I was breathing out of me arse.
I was having a nightmare.
507
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,159
Me touch was terrible.
508
00:29:46,159 --> 00:29:47,118
I was thinking, "God."
509
00:29:47,118 --> 00:29:48,536
We went 1-0 down.
510
00:29:49,037 --> 00:29:50,747
I thought, "Well, that's it."
511
00:29:50,747 --> 00:29:54,459
And then, all of a sudden,
he knocks a header down. I'm in.
512
00:29:54,459 --> 00:29:57,170
...header down. No!
He's done it!
513
00:29:57,170 --> 00:29:59,714
I knocked it in!
I thought, "Bloody hell." I just ran.
514
00:30:01,382 --> 00:30:04,135
Honest, just ran and ran.
Somebody grabbed us.
515
00:30:05,428 --> 00:30:07,764
Yeah.
516
00:30:07,764 --> 00:30:10,475
- You thought you were up?
- I got carried off the pitch.
517
00:30:10,475 --> 00:30:11,935
The fans jumped over the fence.
518
00:30:11,935 --> 00:30:15,688
It's carnival time
at the racecourse ground.
519
00:30:15,688 --> 00:30:18,775
I go in, and all the lads were like this.
520
00:30:18,775 --> 00:30:21,486
Stoke had scored in the injury time,
521
00:30:21,486 --> 00:30:23,988
and it took our promotion away.
522
00:30:24,572 --> 00:30:27,534
And that was it. From hero to zero.
523
00:30:30,662 --> 00:30:32,497
Did you watch-- Did you watch it?
524
00:30:32,497 --> 00:30:33,540
Yeah.
525
00:30:33,540 --> 00:30:36,543
- It should have been three, four.
- Yeah. It's a tough one.
526
00:30:36,543 --> 00:30:38,711
Good result.
It could have been a lot better.
527
00:30:38,711 --> 00:30:41,798
It's gonna be a big crowd there
at Sheffield, and good supporters.
528
00:30:42,382 --> 00:30:44,676
- Could be a nasty night.
- We're going, aren't we?
529
00:30:44,676 --> 00:30:45,760
Right we are.
530
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,471
The day we got relegated
from the Championship, I went to Burton,
531
00:30:48,471 --> 00:30:51,099
and I said I'd never, never
go and watch Sunderland again.
532
00:30:51,099 --> 00:30:52,392
It was just toxic.
533
00:30:56,271 --> 00:30:58,314
- Fuck off, bitch!
- Fuck off!
534
00:31:00,275 --> 00:31:02,569
And I walked away thinking
that's-- that's me done.
535
00:31:02,569 --> 00:31:03,778
- Wash your hands?
- Yeah.
536
00:31:03,778 --> 00:31:05,488
Why are you going back?
537
00:31:05,488 --> 00:31:07,407
- Can you feel the-- feel it back?
- Yeah. I just...
538
00:31:07,407 --> 00:31:09,200
- It was like how you remembered it?
- Yeah.
539
00:31:10,618 --> 00:31:12,203
I feel like a supporter again.
540
00:31:12,787 --> 00:31:14,163
But we're going to the second leg.
541
00:31:14,163 --> 00:31:15,582
It's a tough game, mind.
542
00:31:16,457 --> 00:31:17,292
Tough game.
543
00:31:37,937 --> 00:31:40,106
You need to have an eye
on the second game.
544
00:31:40,982 --> 00:31:43,359
There's a momentum shift
in those type of games.
545
00:31:43,860 --> 00:31:45,570
Because there's so much at stake,
546
00:31:45,570 --> 00:31:48,781
the players can tense up
because they're scared to make a mistake.
547
00:31:49,490 --> 00:31:51,951
They don't want to be the guy
that lets everybody down.
548
00:31:56,623 --> 00:31:59,375
The game, going to Hillsborough,
it's extremely tough.
549
00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:01,502
We got beat there 3-0
earlier in the season.
550
00:32:03,087 --> 00:32:05,381
{\an8}-[commentator] Johnson. It's gone in!
- [commentator 2] Yes!
551
00:32:05,381 --> 00:32:07,800
Hasn't quite got hold of it!
552
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,344
And it's over the line!
553
00:32:10,511 --> 00:32:11,596
And it's gone in!
554
00:32:14,182 --> 00:32:17,060
{\an8}Wednesday have gone goal crazy
against Sunderland.
555
00:32:18,978 --> 00:32:20,188
We need to win,
556
00:32:21,147 --> 00:32:23,608
or my Sunderland career is probably over.
557
00:32:26,402 --> 00:32:28,613
Hillsborough's one
of the great stadiums.
558
00:32:28,613 --> 00:32:31,866
It's one of the-- Still one of the biggest
stadiums in the country.
559
00:32:31,866 --> 00:32:36,162
And when you hear Hillsborough bouncing,
when you hear the noise, it's awesome.
560
00:32:38,790 --> 00:32:42,168
Sunderland, who've been
four years in the wilderness,
561
00:32:42,752 --> 00:32:46,047
and Sheffield Wednesday,
who are coming out of a couple of decades
562
00:32:46,047 --> 00:32:46,965
of the wilderness.
563
00:32:48,049 --> 00:32:50,843
You've got a collision of giants,
if you like.
564
00:32:50,843 --> 00:32:53,638
Boo!
565
00:32:53,638 --> 00:32:56,599
If you were Darren Moore,
what you'd be saying to your team is,
566
00:32:56,599 --> 00:32:59,644
"We're at home.
You've got 30,000 fans behind you."
567
00:32:59,644 --> 00:33:04,607
"Create an atmosphere that will swing
the pendulum back in your favor."
568
00:33:05,316 --> 00:33:07,443
It's just do or die for them
at the moment.
569
00:33:07,443 --> 00:33:10,738
You know, because although we've got
a sort of slender advantage,
570
00:33:10,738 --> 00:33:13,408
for them at home,
they know what they've got to do.
571
00:33:13,408 --> 00:33:16,744
So, yeah, the majority of the stadium's
gonna be against us.
572
00:33:28,172 --> 00:33:29,465
What a turn out as well.
573
00:33:29,465 --> 00:33:32,051
Unbelievable.
Both sets. Both sets of fans.
574
00:33:33,594 --> 00:33:35,555
Sheffield Wednesday,
a team from the city
575
00:33:35,555 --> 00:33:38,307
which gave modern football to the world,
576
00:33:38,307 --> 00:33:41,978
against a team from a city
where football means the world.
577
00:33:44,647 --> 00:33:45,732
We're underway.
578
00:33:46,733 --> 00:33:49,026
Will Sunderland make it to Wembley?
579
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:54,907
Sunderland with a one-goal edge.
580
00:33:54,907 --> 00:33:56,826
How will this play out?
581
00:33:58,494 --> 00:33:59,954
Well, that was late.
582
00:34:02,206 --> 00:34:04,876
Johnson's cross into the box. Gregory.
583
00:34:04,876 --> 00:34:08,296
Sunderland literally
throwing bodies at the ball.
584
00:34:09,255 --> 00:34:12,592
- Pritchard. Stolen right in front of--
- Ooh. Come on.
585
00:34:13,468 --> 00:34:15,678
- Yellow card.
- A yellow card for Bannan.
586
00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:19,474
Getting feisty. It's getting feisty.
587
00:34:22,393 --> 00:34:25,980
Just starting to get more
and more involved here, Barry Bannan.
588
00:34:26,689 --> 00:34:29,067
Defensive slip helps him
to thread it through.
589
00:34:31,194 --> 00:34:33,196
Bannan's very good, tactically.
590
00:34:34,113 --> 00:34:37,950
The gaffer's given me strict instructions.
Wherever he goes, I go.
591
00:34:39,076 --> 00:34:41,204
I'm close to him,
but I'm not close enough.
592
00:34:41,704 --> 00:34:43,206
Bannan now, looks up.
593
00:34:46,250 --> 00:34:49,420
Bannan's shot blocked by Pritchard.
It comes back into the penalty area.
594
00:34:49,420 --> 00:34:51,672
Windass trying to pick it out.
595
00:34:51,672 --> 00:34:53,174
Felt he was fouled.
596
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:55,718
Nothing from the referee.
597
00:34:58,721 --> 00:34:59,972
Wednesday!
598
00:35:02,225 --> 00:35:05,812
Tell you what, Wednesday are getting
on top here. Pressure's building.
599
00:35:09,816 --> 00:35:11,776
Every break in the play,
he's talking to me.
600
00:35:11,776 --> 00:35:14,779
He keeps trying to talk to me. I think
he's trying to get me to switch off
601
00:35:18,407 --> 00:35:20,201
And then he gets on the ball.
602
00:35:22,620 --> 00:35:26,707
Oh, what a pass that is.
And Wednesday with a chance for Gregory!
603
00:35:29,919 --> 00:35:32,839
And he's just going,
"You're team's done here. You're done."
604
00:35:38,302 --> 00:35:39,262
They scored.
605
00:35:40,763 --> 00:35:43,641
{\an8}And I was just hearing,
"They've gone. They've gone."
606
00:35:47,436 --> 00:35:48,604
Fuck me.
607
00:35:51,274 --> 00:35:56,654
...Wednesday night, Lee...
608
00:36:09,417 --> 00:36:12,003
Look at it. Look at the light. Eh?
609
00:36:23,723 --> 00:36:27,059
The place just erupted.
Like, I'd never seen anything like that.
610
00:36:29,645 --> 00:36:33,441
The realization hitting that
we weren't in the driving seat anymore.
611
00:36:36,527 --> 00:36:38,821
The concern for me
when that goal went in was,
612
00:36:38,821 --> 00:36:40,865
what's our reaction gonna be?
613
00:36:42,241 --> 00:36:46,746
Because that one moment
can take everything apart.
614
00:36:53,753 --> 00:36:55,922
- That is game on.
- Game on.
615
00:36:55,922 --> 00:36:58,257
It's down the right
of the penalty area. Cross in.
616
00:36:58,257 --> 00:37:01,677
Oh, it's fumbled out of the way,
behind by Gregory.
617
00:37:03,179 --> 00:37:04,430
It's, uh... It's very edgy.
618
00:37:09,352 --> 00:37:11,896
And now, foul on Byers by Pritchard.
619
00:37:29,288 --> 00:37:34,210
Storey-- Oh, great save
by Patterson, diving to his left.
620
00:37:37,505 --> 00:37:39,966
Alex Neil needs to make
a substitution here.
621
00:37:40,466 --> 00:37:42,385
One or two tired legs out there.
622
00:37:44,387 --> 00:37:48,224
It's time in the game
when it's starting to get tense.
623
00:37:49,183 --> 00:37:51,394
Ten minutes of added time.
624
00:37:52,144 --> 00:37:53,646
Ten minutes.
625
00:38:05,992 --> 00:38:07,952
The biggest tactical decision
626
00:38:07,952 --> 00:38:10,329
was actually doing nothing
and not making a change.
627
00:38:13,082 --> 00:38:14,750
Where we were gonna hurt
Sheffield Wednesday
628
00:38:14,750 --> 00:38:16,711
was getting down the sides
with the center-backs,
629
00:38:16,711 --> 00:38:18,504
Jack Clarke and with Patrick.
630
00:38:21,215 --> 00:38:24,301
Clarke. Just wants to run
at them here, Jack Clarke.
631
00:38:24,301 --> 00:38:26,220
And he's gonna keep running at them.
632
00:38:27,430 --> 00:38:28,806
Soon as I step onto a pitch,
633
00:38:28,806 --> 00:38:31,142
I'm more confident
than I would be off the pitch.
634
00:38:31,142 --> 00:38:33,686
Clarke still going.
Still going in the penalty area.
635
00:38:33,686 --> 00:38:36,856
It's one of them moments where
you're like, "We need to do something."
636
00:38:36,856 --> 00:38:38,107
Roberts, left-footed!
637
00:38:38,107 --> 00:38:40,860
Good save down to his right
by Peacock-Farrell.
638
00:38:40,860 --> 00:38:42,319
But what a run by Clarke.
639
00:38:42,903 --> 00:38:46,073
Jack was really coming into
the game. He was running across the pitch.
640
00:38:46,073 --> 00:38:48,576
He was, running past
about five, six, seven, men.
641
00:38:50,119 --> 00:38:52,788
If he gets the ball again,
he will cause some damage.
642
00:38:52,788 --> 00:38:54,123
Bailey Wright.
643
00:38:54,623 --> 00:38:57,752
Back out to Batth on this left-hand side.
644
00:38:57,752 --> 00:39:01,255
And Batth lifting it up,
looking for the run of Clarke.
645
00:39:04,300 --> 00:39:05,968
- Go on.
- Clarke down the left.
646
00:39:05,968 --> 00:39:07,678
Stewart cutting into the center.
647
00:39:07,678 --> 00:39:08,888
Clarke.
648
00:39:09,764 --> 00:39:11,098
Taking on Storey.
649
00:39:12,683 --> 00:39:13,642
Into the penalty--
650
00:39:13,642 --> 00:39:16,103
Get in!
651
00:39:16,103 --> 00:39:18,147
- Get in!
- It's in!
652
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:23,569
Whoo! Woo-hoo!
653
00:39:24,236 --> 00:39:25,738
Yes!
654
00:39:50,513 --> 00:39:52,098
Roberts swept in,
655
00:39:53,265 --> 00:39:57,853
and from three yards,
drove it under the keeper.
656
00:39:57,853 --> 00:40:01,482
And it's 2-1 to Sunderland on aggregate.
657
00:40:10,408 --> 00:40:14,161
We're in the 11th minute
of added time.
658
00:40:14,161 --> 00:40:17,373
- Sunderland lead 2-1.
- Blow your whistle, man.
659
00:40:18,082 --> 00:40:21,210
The Sheffield Wednesday fans
at the moment, silenced.
660
00:40:26,048 --> 00:40:26,966
Lads!
661
00:40:30,928 --> 00:40:35,141
There it is, a lucky 13th minute
for Sunderland,
662
00:40:35,141 --> 00:40:39,228
who are through to Wembley on May 21st,
663
00:40:39,228 --> 00:40:44,525
{\an8}through Patrick Roberts' equalizer
in the 94th minute.
664
00:40:44,525 --> 00:40:47,903
It is Sunderland who've seen it out.
What a night.
665
00:40:47,903 --> 00:40:48,863
Come on!
666
00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:52,658
- Yeah!
- Come on!
667
00:40:53,659 --> 00:40:55,369
Football's swings
and roundabouts.
668
00:40:55,369 --> 00:40:56,954
You can never cheat the football gods.
669
00:40:56,954 --> 00:40:59,331
They always come back
to bite you in the arse.
670
00:40:59,331 --> 00:41:02,168
We worked hard that game.
We had the last laugh.
671
00:41:09,592 --> 00:41:13,053
That's something I was,
you know, most looking forward to,
672
00:41:13,053 --> 00:41:15,598
was being at a club where I'm--
where I'm valued.
673
00:41:16,307 --> 00:41:18,309
Yeah, I'm just grateful
to kind of be at this club
674
00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:22,021
and fight for what, obviously,
they've been wanting for years.
675
00:41:27,443 --> 00:41:29,445
♪ Que será, será ♪
676
00:41:29,445 --> 00:41:31,947
♪ Whatever will be, will be ♪
677
00:41:31,947 --> 00:41:34,116
♪ We're going to Wembley ♪
678
00:41:35,743 --> 00:41:38,662
What Patrick needed,
in my opinion, was a home.
679
00:41:38,662 --> 00:41:41,332
He needed somewhere
they were gonna believe in him.
680
00:41:45,419 --> 00:41:48,964
I think Patrick got all of that
when he came to Sunderland.
681
00:41:50,049 --> 00:41:52,218
I'm so pleased for Patrick and Jack,
682
00:41:52,218 --> 00:41:55,596
obviously, being key contributors
to their success.
683
00:41:57,473 --> 00:41:59,642
You work so hard, and you try to be calm,
684
00:41:59,642 --> 00:42:02,102
and you try to be composed
in those key moments,
685
00:42:02,937 --> 00:42:05,064
but-- You see when the goal went in?
686
00:42:05,814 --> 00:42:08,400
Yeah, that-- that moment
will stay with me forever.
687
00:42:11,820 --> 00:42:15,449
I was sitting there, you know,
thinking of all my family members.
688
00:42:15,449 --> 00:42:16,742
Many of them were there,
689
00:42:17,576 --> 00:42:21,080
and the ones that weren't
were with me in spirit.
690
00:42:24,333 --> 00:42:25,542
It was a feeling of joy,
691
00:42:25,542 --> 00:42:28,295
but at the same time,
the job is not done yet.
692
00:42:29,338 --> 00:42:31,090
Focus, recover,
693
00:42:31,090 --> 00:42:33,592
and there's one more game
that stands in our way.
