Champions - and well deserved

Dear Coxhoe Branch,
We enjoyed it.
It was important that we performed in front of the fans and we got off to a great start - I wish we had done it a few more times this season.
It's always nice to look back and say you were champions and now we get ready for the next challenge.
We always encourage the players to play with freedom, they did today and everyone deserves a lot of credit.
It's a really nice way to finish - Sunderland champions has a nice ring to it. We would have been kicking ourselves if we had not won and Birmingham had slipped up.
The lads should enjoy it, you do not get too many chances to enjoy days like this.
There's a happy dressing room in there and I'm delighted for everyone - I've had worse days.
I'll reflect over the next week or so. Since I got the job, I always said that the chance to reflect would be at the end of the season.
You pat yourself on the back but you have to move on to the next challenge. The players have been fantastic and I can't praise them enough.
Times like this are why we are in the game. The five goals we got were cracking goals. We played with great freedom, they didn't take their foot off the gas.
It was important that we finished on a high and they did that, it was a great day for everyone.
It's nice for the players to move on to the next challenge now and go to the Chelseas, the Liverpools, the Tottenhams and the Newcastles - let's see what they can do there.
Thanks for your great support this season - the fans have played a huge part.
All the best,
Roy Keane
