Game of the Season: the road to Wigan’s peerless joy
With apologies for the laboured pun – and M Salut promises not to add, ”Or Well, what did you expect?” – we present the third of Luke Harvey’s series of defining moments in the season just ended. We’ve had Signing of the Season and Opponents of the Season. Here is Luke’s Game of the Season [...]
And the winners are, in no particular order, Liverpool, Wolves, Aston Villa
With renewed gratitude to our sponsors – http://www.soccerpro.com/ and When Saturday Comes, we can announce the winners in our annual ‘Who are You?’ awards … Here it is, the moment at least some of you have been waiting for. Thanks to all who took part in the feature during the 2011-2012 season, the judges who [...]
Sunderland end of term reviews (2): ‘no beaten army, just battle fatigue’
Perhaps we’ve heard too many bleatings from Sunderland fans that we were the most boring team in the Premier, finished three places lower than the maligned Steve Bruce managed and really just slipped back into old ways. In our latest review of the 2011-2012 season, Bill Taylor strikes a much more positive note … This [...]
The road to glory (2): Liverpool, Wolves close gap on Aston Villa
Part one of our report on the judges’ decision in our annual ”Who are You?” awards, in which Salut! Sunderland rewards supporters of opposing sides who offered the best entertainment, insight or wisdom in their responses to the pre-match questionnaire, ended with the leaders lining up like this: Stuart Jinks (aka Jinksy, Aston Villa fan) [...]
On the road to glory with Aston Villa, Swansea and Newcastle ahead
Week in week out, supporters from the teams Sunderland are next due to play rise to the occasion and take part in our ”Who are You?” series. And once a year, we return the favour and come up with awards for the best sets of replies.
French Fancies: ha’way Montpellier. Kick sand in PSG’s faces
In the end I am really quite neutral on the question of the Premier League title. Yes, Man City have gone out with Abu Dhabi money and bought the trophy. But Man Utd have been doing the same, minus the UAE connection, for years.
Luke’s World: hailing Everton, opponents of the season
Almost to rival the series of end-of-season reviews just begun – and to which others are free to contribute – Luke Harvey, having described the impact of our signing of the season, James McClean, gives special attention to another specific aspect of the football he saw at the Stadium of Light. Step forward Everton, Luke’s [...]
Soapbox: our drab part in Man United and Man City’s dramatic finale
It seems somehow fitting that the Radio Newcastle commentary team, Nick Barnes and Gary Bennett, whose excellent work costs fans money to hear if they’re away from the North East and listen via the SAFC website, had to keep track of events at the Etihad via the reaction of the two sets of supporters at [...]
Martin’s Musings on keeping to script against Manchester United: time for reflection
Last game of the season so Martin O’Neill’s last post-match e-mail to Salut! Sunderland (and a few others). As I awaited its arrival, I thought about what I’d like to find in it: relief that the season’s over, unbridled optimism for the next one, a hint of contrition? Would we have settled for 13th top [...]
