    Agree. Even the East Stand were singing on Saturday. Fantastic to hear the noise levels rising again.

    I missed Saturday due to illness, but you could feel it the first 2, a total change in feeling before, outside, inside, the lot.

    People are genuinely excited and genuinely looking forward to the games again. I said myself on here a few times I’d never boo at the stadium, I’d never stop going but it felt like a duty, a chore.

    I was gutted to miss Saturday cos I was buzzing off the first 2. It’s a wonderful thing to have back.

    The club is such a ridiculously big part of our lives the last 4-6 years have felt like clinging on to a failing relationship.

    Interesting, new lad is actually a year younger than diamond. I like the kid but I feel like this loan is possibly last chance saloon

    “I always looked to the football in England and I always wanted to come here, so when I heard I could, it felt like the right step. I’ve seen some of the games and its crazy how many fans come in the first division, but this – having the fans push you – is what I like. It feels very good to sign for Sunderland and I’m very proud to be here.”

    I must say the East Stand has been more vociferous this season, im always up for a song but it's not generally taken up in massive numbers but this season has been different.

    The place is going to be proper bouncing a week on Saturday after our fantastic start and what can only be described as a stunning transfer window.

    Great window this and we’re already playing well with a pattern. I can’t wait for the next game.

    I'd like that twice if I could.

    Loving all the smiles back on our faces. Smiles that are getting bigger and bigger!

    Keeper in and Grigg out and it's an absolutely stunning window. It's still superb even if Grigg stays but that would be the cherry on top.
    Really impressive from the recruitment team. A totally different approach, really well executed.

    It doesn’t feel like the last couple seasons, that’s the big thing.

    Square pegs round holes, winning games we shouldn’t have. No plan B. We never really fully believed we were were we needed to be, even though we could have gotten there.

    This feels different, feels like every step and move is planned and calculated.

    Commended 100%. It is very interesting to re-read some of the comments from this thread from pages 5-15. Doom and gloom with questions over the competence of the hierarchy, age of the owner, involvement of titheads Stu and Charlie, and how big the budget was. I was born in 1966 and, like many on here, have watched SAFC through thick and thin. I even remember my Granny giving me a puff of her fag at the Monty save in 1973 and telling me it would calm me down.... FFS <laugh>, but I have to say that what this management team is doing at the mo is at a different level to anything else I have witnessed. Well done KLD and team.

    Obviously that's not a deal struck by Lee Congerton...

    Are the doom-mongers still saying that the KLD takeover is just a reallocation of shares? Somehow I think not and they've all gone quiet.
    Hell, this seems like the real deal.
