‘Tight git, giving one away but with strings’, says Jake

Last week, I honestly thought someone, possibly a Bolton fan, had decided the FA Cup game had 2-2 written all over it. I could find no trace of such a prediction; did I just dream it? If anyone can point me in its direction, then the man, woman or child who made it is owed a mug.

The Salut! Sunderland MoN mug: ‘Team of all Talents – work in progress’

If that seems a miserly prize, it’s a damn site better than what is on offer for Sunderland v West Ham. We’re back to the win one/buy one routine. That means £9.50, postage free in the UK, for a pair of these high-quality, cult-value mugs.

Just post a comment below BEFORE kickoff with your scoreline prediction, plus smart alec quip if you wish. If it proves correct, and is the first accurate entry posted, you win. If you really don’t need/won’t buy a mug, just enter for fun.

A Hammers who wins will be offered mugs woth suitaby tweaked design.

Monsieur Salut will be there, close enough to Pete Sixmsith in the East Stand to keep ears alert for any inappropriate chanting.

Ha’way the Lads …

Hammer the Hammers, begs Jake

Go for a 3-0 home win, Jake suggests hopefully

    SAFC 2 – 0 West Ham Utd, this time we come out of the blocks firing on all six,,,,,,,,I hope, but then again it could take us until half time to get going as usual!

      SAFC 1 WHU 0

      As an aside, would you happen to be the Alan Oliver, ex of The Chronicle, who used to write the propaganda that he’d been spoon fed by NUFC ?

          It had to happen: the biggest critic of Salut! Sunderland largesse must decide whether to accept or decline! Delighted your prediction came true, Eric. Now it’s up to you …

          • Eric Two Mugs January 13, 2013 at 7:57 pm #

            “biggest critic of Salut! Sunderland largesse”? Are you confusing me with someone else M Salut? I will be delighted to accept your most generous offer to BOGOF. Where do I send my hard earned dosh? To commemorate my new found status as an ace tipster I intend to change my username. As Edmund Blackadder might have said, “from henceforth thou shalt know me as Eric Two Mugs”.

          • salutsunderland January 13, 2013 at 8:18 pm #

            I do get confused. Often. Eric Two Mugs sounds brilliant. I shall dig out your email details and set it all in train

  5. Jeremy January 11, 2013 at 3:19 pm #

    1-0 to us.

  6. Jeremy January 11, 2013 at 3:21 pm #

    Whoops I see Phil already has 1-0. 1-1 then it has to be.

  7. Plan B January 11, 2013 at 9:24 pm #

    4-1 to the lads.

  8. Phil Johnson January 14, 2013 at 4:21 am #

    At the beginning of the article M Salut asked “a Bolton fan, had decided the FA Cup game had 2-2 written all over it. I could find no trace of such a prediction; did I just dream it?”

    I, also, seem to remember those exact words being used but, then again, I seem to recall that Malcolm had made his, usual, 5-0 prediction with regard to this game and that seems to have disappeared as well!

    Does, Salut Sunderland (perchance) have mice knawing away, or should I make my reservation for a carer poste haste?
