Make The South Stand Into A Singing Section!
Posted by: | CommentsThis is a perfect opportunity for the club and most importantly us as fans to reinvigorate the ground and better the predominantly stale atmosphere we have become used to within the Stadium of Light.
I urge our fans to fully get behind this campaign, show your support for creating a large singing area in our ground and in doing so ensure that the Roker Roar does not fade and die.
“Passion, it lies in all of us, sleeping… waiting… and though unwanted… unbidden… it will stir… open its jaws and howl. It speaks to us… guides us… passion rules us all, and we obey. What other choice do we have? Passion is the source of our finest moments. The joy of love… the clarity of hatred… and the ecstasy of grief. It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion maybe we’d know some kind of peace… but we would be hollow… Empty rooms shuttered and dank. Without passion we’d be truly dead.”
Let’s keep that passion stirring and create an atmospheric ground to be proud of, as we once were.

Darren Bent’s Welcoming Committee
Posted by: | Comments
The atmosphere appeared to affect our ex-striker as he fluffed a number of chances and required regular pep-talks (awww bless im!) from his fellow Aston Villa players.
No doubt he’ll be hinting at a move away from Villa park in the not-too-distant future. Who’s left for him now? Arsenal? Stoke?!
On a slightly separate note, it was fitting that Darren Bent’s regular Sunderland chant has been adopted by Connor Wickham. It would be a shame to lose one of our better ones and after his cracking goal yesterday he fully deserves to have a chant of his own.

Sunderland’s Three Little Birds Chant
Posted by: | CommentsTo the Tune of Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds”:
Dont worry (der-der-der-der-der)
About a thing (der-der-der-der-der)
We’re Sunlun AFC
We’re gonna be alright
Amazingly the chant received recognition from the media today. The Independent said:
“The lifting of the pressure was palpable. Three big goals in 10 minutes and the Stadium of Delight was rocking to the sound of Three Little Birds. “Don’t worry ’bout a thing,” the home fans chorused, Bob Marley-style.
Don’t worry? After the final whistle, and Franco di Santo’s injury-time consolation goal, Sunderland were up into 10th position with 41 points, seven clear of Wigan, who dropped back to third from bottom. Bruce, however, was simply thanking his overdue turn of fortune”

Sessègnon And Muntari Sign For The Lads
Posted by: | CommentsSupporters everywhere have been salivating at the thought of seeing Sessègnon and Muntari in the famous red and white stripes and that dream is now very much a reality.
The dazzling Stéphane Sessègnon has signed on a three and a half year deal for around £4m and can’t wait to hit the floor running. Sessègnon is a quick, technically gifted, versatile, attacking player who can play anywhere in midfield but he prefers operating on the right hand side. Here is a video to whet your appetite and hopefully a positive sign of things to come from the ex-PSG man:
Sulley Muntari on the other hand is a high energy, committed defensive midfield player. Signed by Inter originally by Mancini, he was a major part of Jose Mourinho’s Serie A and Champions league winning side. Sulley is a tenacious ball winner but also likes to get forward, he is regularly described as a “box to box midfielder”.
Muntari is a proven Premiership player, having already plyed his trade at Portsmouth under then manager Harry Redknapp. He helped bring Pompey silverware, hopefully he can do the same on Wearside. It’s also worth mentioning he’ll be in good company at Sunderland, linking up with fellow Ghanaian team-mates John Mensah and Asamoah Gyan.
Haway the lads!
