From the minute he reveals his face within the technical space on the Stadium of Mild on Monday night time, I hope we make David Moyes’ life a whole distress for the ninety or so minutes he’s pressured to seek out himself surrounded by Mackems.
I don’t assume it might be honest to pin the blame totally on him for Sunderland’s demise after he oversaw our relegation to the Championship the final time that we have been within the Premier League — the vast majority of that may be attributed to our former proprietor, Ellis Quick — however he did have a big half in it, and definitely didn’t assist issues when he solely added to the despair and distress surrounding the soccer membership at the moment.

The actual fact he’s gone on since then to win a trophy with West Ham and preserve getting himself Premier League jobs annoys me massively, because it feels as if he acquired away with leaving Sunderland within the mess that he did.
That mentioned, I don’t need the complete story of the day to be about him. I’m positive that when the pundits on Sky are previewing the match within the hour or so earlier than kick off they’ll make all of it about Moyes, however as soon as that first ball has been kicked, we’ll need to shift the main target to the workforce and their unbelievable begin to the season within the Premier League.
The story all season thus far has been about our sensible gamers and their journey, and the connection between them and the followers has been the important thing to our success.

If we’re going to beat Everton, then it must be extra of the identical — we have to struggle with them for each second ball, each header, and each free go. When the ball rolls out for a throw-in or nook, we have to cheer as loudly as we’ve got in different video games this season on the Stadium of Mild.
Our system for successful video games on Wearside is confirmed — if the ambiance is fierce and the gamers match the vitality of the gang, Everton received’t be capable to reside with us. Each recreation has a particular feeling about it proper now, and we’ve acquired unbelievable momentum, so let’s not slip and let’s keep targeted on the duty at hand. If we rating one other three factors, we’ll be proper up there on the high of the desk, and deservedly so.
One of the simplest ways to indicate David Moyes how previous it and irrelevant he’s is to indicate him what he didn’t recognise when he was right here earlier than — that this can be a excellent soccer membership, the perfect, in truth, with a supervisor and squad who recognise simply how sensible a chance that is for all of them… an urge for food for achievement which Moyes by no means for one second demonstrated throughout his time as Sunderland supervisor all these years in the past.
The Sunderland of 2025 is a membership constructed on sturdy foundations, with good folks on and off the pitch who solely have one aim — to make Sunderland as nice as they probably can, on a stage {that a} loser like David Moyes might solely dream of reaching. Win, lose, or draw on Monday, that may stay the case.
