Yesterday, at Elland Road, almost 2,200 of them sang their hearts out for Chris Coleman's side as they picked up a point in a 1-1 draw with Leeds United.

They defiantly proclaimed "I'm Sunderland 'til I die," and showed a dark sense of humour with a rendition of "Don't worry about a thing, 'cos every little thing is gonna be alright."

Coleman told the club's official website: "Our fans, again, were absolutely incredible, they stayed with us right to the end.

"That is one of the reasons why I joined Sunderland football club, a big club with big expectations.

"It is difficult for us at the minute, but we are a big football club and to come to Elland Road with that amount of fans making that amount of noise, they were behind the team all the way."
