Decent bunch on the whole...quite a few were worse for wear along Wembley Way....two young lads could hardly walk...they had some concoction in a large plastic drink bottle. Anyway was chatting to a steward who worked at the Cheka Trade game and he said Sunderland are a decent lot....but Pompey are complete scum, incidentally he worked at the Charlton v Pompey game and told me that there were 69 ejected from the away end....plenty on drugs he reckoned.
Every Sunderland fan we came across both on the way to and from the match were genuine and friendly. They wished us luck (but not to much) before the game and were magnanimous in defeat. I hope they storm league 1 next season. Great bunch of supporters.

There’s something about teams in blue. Cardiff, Pompey, Chelsea, Birmingham, Millwall...

One Sunderland fan I chatted to said the same, Pompey were arseholes at the cup final. Doesn't surprise me.
Didn’t really see many of them, as was went green man before and after match, the ones I did meet were okay - although i see them as the efl league 1 poster boys. They were going to walk this league etc.
Their fans It must be me because walking up Olympic way I had numerous ones giving it billy big bollox and saying remind me of a famous charlton player and your just a shit tin pot club from London
one saying where’s your valley gone ???
Then on the way out one saying any charlton fan here is an embarrassment well that worked with me and I challenged him on his comment and asked him to explain it
he said if Sunderland has won he would still be inside singing
I told him that I had seen the players on the pitch doing their bit and they had now gone off the pitch so why would I be in there
when I want to go and celebrate with friends and family in London now
and that you can’t get no more embarrassing than a fat northern bird shitting in the fountain at trafalgar sq

When he asked you to remind him of a famous Charlton player I hope you said Clive Mendonca, that would have shut the muggy prick up

First name I said then told him Michael Grey wasn’t a bad player for us either
Spent 4 hours drinking with Sunderland fans after match - no hint of trouble - open and honest assessment of the match - views shared - beers (many) drank together - cracking fans
i I do not envisage that a match at Wembley like that against (say) Leeds, Millwall, Chelsea etc etc I would be confident of going to a bar and having the same experience
And as for a Charlton Palace match Wembley .......

I don’t think most Leeds, Millwall or Chelsea fan can string a sentence together let alone engage you in conversation for a period of time after the match!
My first interaction of the day was whilst walking up Olympic Way from the tube station keeping my head down smiling and acknowledging where needed until a gobby youth addressed me, aged 58 with the words ‘you effin smelly southern C you next Tuesday’ and then attempted to get in my face for no reason whatsoever.
Thankfully those i met, especially post match were friendly and congratulatory. I feared this gob shite would get a smack if he carried on like that.
Michael Gray, he who missed the 14th penalty in 1998 uttered on Sky ‘no disrespect to Charlton but Sunderland are a bigger club and deserve to be in the Championship’
Frankly they got what they deserved, they set out to ‘do’ our players we played football witness our equaliser and we prevailed. Enjoy league 1 SAFC
One lad was giving it under the bridge by steps up to the tube station, "fuck off Charlton" etc. I told him to not be so bitter and then enjoyed it when his mum dragged him away and up the road from the station.
I met several Sunderland fans on the trip up to London. Quite a few West Country Mackems in exile. Decent people, we talked about the season and wished each other luck (but not too much for the game itself).
After the match, plenty of red stripes around Paddington waiting for trains. Lots of chat. Most of them said that we were the better team and deserved it.
And wished us luck for next season.
I hope I was a credit to my club. The Sunderland fans I met yesterday were a credit to theirs.
If any Championship club watched the end of the season I think they would much rather play Sunderland next season than us. Watching the final wouldn’t have changed their minds.
Got to Wembley early to pick up our tickets, and the place was swarming with Sunderland fans at that point as the majority of Charlton fans had yet to arrive.
Walking through them with my gf, had a couple of comments slung at us, one being "Mendonca is a paedo" and "theres only two of ya?". Just made winning the way we did at the end all the sweeter.
Comments
Apologies anyone about heard my language.
Didnt really hear much after but we stayed in ground until it was near empty

think Pompey would have been worse as they seem to have a lot of complete arseholes supporting them.
