Sunderland Champions
Sunderland AFC, Coca Cola Champions 2004-5
Fans celebrate last night's win at West Ham United
After a thrilling 2-1 away win at West Ham last night, Sunderland were crowned Coca Cola Champions to mark their return to the Premiership in style. Marlon Harewood opened the scoring for the Irons, his third goal in successive games against the lads, however Julio Arca levelled the scores before half time and in the second half Sunderland dominated. Substitute Stephen Elliot claimed a superb winner after quick build up play to set up wild celebrations both on and off the pitch.
There will be an open top bus parade through the city of Sunderland on Monday 9th. May, when the team can be presented to thousands of fans along the route, as well as showing off the Championship trophy, it will be a very proud moment for Mick McCarthy and all of the team.

The final match of the season is at home against Stoke City next Sunday (1.00 p.m. kick off), I understand that 44,000 tickets have already been sold, so tickets are now becoming harder to get.

Blair and Howard move away from the Iraq issue
Michael Howard and Tony Blah have today moved away from the Iraq issue and questions over Blah's honesty, to try and refocus their campaign strategies. With just four days remaining before the vote New Labour continue to hold a healthy lead in the opinion polls, but turnout could prove crucial.
