You wait 411 days to get back into the Stadium of Light, and the season ends in 90 minutes.
A valiant first half did not bring anything more than the despair of hope. However, there are plenty of talking points.
Tom Clarke from the Times joins us once more, with Ian Graham in the red and white corner with me to assess a heartbreaking second leg between #SAFC and #TheImps.

Here we go - it's time for the lottery of the playoffs. Confident?
It's a bumper show, as we invite every side from the League One playoffs onto the show to look at how each of them are feeling heading into the semi-finals.
Si from #OUFC 's the Fence End pod makes his hattrick by returning for the third time, The Times digital sports editor Tom Clarke rejoins the show to look at the Imps and Matt from Blackpool blog Mitch Cook's Left Foot makes his What The Falk debut.
What are we talking about?
- Who's going to be the star men for each team?
- Who is feeling the most confident - and who isn't?
- Sunderland generally lose playoffs, Blackpool generally win - does it make a difference?
- Could it a tale of the toughest defences? Or will it be a League One playoffs goal-fest?

Could thing's get any worse? In Sunderland's case...probably.
A win on Saturday would guarantee the Lads a place in the play-off's but non of us are really sure we can put ourselves through it again.

Automatic promotion is well and truly out of the window for Sunderland, so it's time to get back to winning ways after five games without a win.
Hopefully, we can begin with a win over Accrington this Saturday.
Tony from Across The Pitch joined all the way from Toronto to chat the weekend game.
• Tony lives in Canada - so why Accrington?
• John Coleman's knack of finding a non-league gem.
• Is Dion Charles the latest Stanley find?
• Inconsistent form, and lost by 5, 6 and 7 goals.
& much, much more.

This was nigh on impossible to do, as Graham decided he had to vomit randomly about five times during the episode.
Aside from that, we chat about the disgrace that is the #EuropeanSuperLeague and we pick which three teams we would put into a #ESL for very different reasons.

Well, it looks like Sunderland have, yet again, blew their chances of automatic promotion as they head to play-off hopefuls Blackpool this week.
Games are running out, and for Sunderland, anything less than a win here will 100% consign the club too the League One play-offs.
To chat all about Blackpool's recent form is the host of excellent The Third Tier podcast Tom Mayne.
• Elliott Embleton - how's he doing?
• Well, Jerry Yates seems to be doing a job - but who else should we be concerned about in the Seasiders ranks?
• Life before and after the O****n's.
• Will we meet again in the play offs?
& much, much more.
