Is Sunderland going to break the Wembley hoodoo?
SAFC hasn't won a final at Wembley since 1973.
We've been back 8 times since then!

Lee Johnson will want to win this game for the next generation of Sunderland supporters.
Will Kyril Louis-Dreyfus enjoy success as Sunderland AFC owner at the first attempt?
We shall soon see!

I have a few cans in for this game.
Haway the lads

Jones injured then. Good to see Stewart on the bench

[Crawford]

I must admit that I am nervous

[Jools]

Come on lads, you can do it!

[Sunderland Nut]

People are still saying they would prefer to win the league games - what idiots!
We are in a cup final at Wembley and we want to win it surely?
I'm going to enjoy the game and will the lads on and only after this game will I start thinking about the league games!

I must admit that I am nervous

Funnily enough, I am not too nervous although my head is still saying "this is Sunderland ".
Let's just enjoy the day hey because we don't get days like this often

[thingamajig]

We are totally controlling the midfield so far with the lads having all the possession.
I think they are just playing a bit cagey trying to figure each other out.

[Sunderland Nut]

Sunderland were lucky but Budgie Burge managed to save that.
He's managed to fist a few away so far as well.
Hope his fisting technique continues to prove good

[Bus Driver]

It's been a canny game so far but we are letting Tranmere have a few chances.
I still think we can win this game in the 90 minutes.
