    Saw a snippet on world news that Boston Red Sox fans use Sweet Caroline as their anthem. Maybe there could be some mileage in us giving it a go along the lines of "Sweet Sun-der-land" Da-Da-Da, they're the team that we love............................

    I'll leave the rest to those who have more ability than me in the music field.

    Nostalgic, I forgot mate, obviously that song has just been released in New Zealand.
    Not the last place on earth but you can see it from there.

    OK it was just a thought and I'll sign off on that one but when you see the crowds singing it and swaying along in the US arenas on youtube Sunderland just seem to fit.

    If we were to change the 'Romeo and Juliet Dance of the Knights' theme, I wouldn't mind a version of this to replace it..

    Can see that working RAW, for Jerusalem read Sunderland some appropriate wording changes and we're there. Get it ready for next season - just don't forget it started her.

    I'm not what you would call a religious person in any way, shape or form, but I do find this hymn very inspiring..

    First few lines:

    They play in stripes of red and white

    And on them shines a mighty Light

    In England's green and pleasant land

    For they are Sunderland, oh mighty Sunderland.......................................



    Now my head hurts so I'll leave the rest to the poets and bards.

    It's a kind of magic
    It's a kind of magic
    A kind of magic - no way

    One dream, one soul, one prize
    One goal, one golden glance of what should be
    It's a kind of magic

    One shaft of light that shows the way
    No mortal man can win this day
    It's a kind of magic
    The bell that rings inside your mind
    Is challenging the doors of time
    It's a kind of magic
