To prove Sunderland fans know how to enjoy themselves at a game, our finest "Sunderland Musical Band" have just taken on the might of the Sheffield Wednesday brass band on radio five live, armed only with Kazoos.

Despite your rivalry, I'm sure you can raise your glass to Ready To Go's Stotty Tatlock and "A Love Supreme" for challenging this monotonous bunch of Yorkshire puddings.

if they had gone armed with clubs it might have been more of an event...

it sounded good, i feel all sunderland supporters sound better with a kazoo in their mouth

I can almost hear a chorus of "Oh when the Saints go marching on" on the Kazoo. Floods of memories of my sister in the "Hebburn Heralds" and me banging on their drum before being kicked up the arse and chased away.

Will they know which bit to blow through?

Saw the piece by Stotty Tatlock and chuckled. Brilliant idea and congratulations for actually getting it off the ground. Are Guardian Online still pretending it was their idea?

Fortunately not. Stotty is now our recognised leader so the buck stops at him when we get nicked for a breach of the peace ;o)

The Sun, Metro Radio and Tyne Tees are all interested in the story...

What next, the Newcastle United spoons and washboard ensemble?

Plastic combs and Izal bog paper. Each is as good for the other's intended purpose.
