Will Guess the Score predictions become gloomier, asks Monsieur Salut? Two losing scorelines were submitted for the Blackpool game, and they came from a known Sunderland supporter and from “Brian”, who insists he is also one of us, just a hypercritical one of us. There was not prizewinner on Tuesday night. No one thought it […]

SAFC vs Blackpool prize Guess the Score. Wanted: a winning home debut from Grigg
Pete Sixsmith was at the disappointing 1-1 draw in the ‘Donald derby’ – reflecting the divided loyalties of our Oxford-supporting owner Stewart Donald (and his executive director Charlie Methven) – and will be writing about his day at greater length over the next 12-24 hours But with three home games coming up in quick succession, […]
Oxford United vs Sunderland prize Guess the Score. Return of the Donald derby
The start of a busy 11-day spell for Sunderland takes Jack Ross’s side to the Kassam Stadium for the second leg of this season’s home-and-away Donald derby. Our owner’s connections and allegiance to the opponents are well known. He and Charlie Methven, minority shareholder and executive director, have shown heartening commitment to SAFC since taking […]
AFC Wimbledon Guess the Score: giantkillers at Sunderland after slaying West Ham
Another game, another prize Guess the Score. Be first to be right, have a UK delivery address and – whoever you support – you will win the mug (a Wimbledon or neutral winner would be found something suitable). We need to start winning again and we probably didn’t need Wimbledon to have a morale-boosting FA […]
Sunderland vs Manchester City. Checkatrade Guess the Score and Wembley memories
GUESS THE SCORE: The Checktrade rules are simple – no extra time but penalties if scores are level at 90 minutes. For the prize mug – whoever you support – you must correctly predict the score at full time and, if the teams are drawing, the winner on penalties (don’t worry about the shoot-out score). […]
Scunthorpe vs SAFC prize Guess the Score: make Rod Liddle eat his words
Monsieur Salut introduces the latest prize Guess the Score competition. Don’t worry if your entry is ‘held for moderation’ – it can happen if you haven’t posted before or are using a different computer – as we will know when you tried to post it and if more than one reader correctly predicts the outcome, […]
SAFC vs Luton Town Guess the Score: we won’t get many better chances to go second
We know it. They know it. The Charlton game was important but Saturday’s battle of third-top, Sunderland, versus second-top, Luton Town, is immense. The stakes are perfectly simple. Win and Sunderland go second in Luton’s place, still enjoying a game in hand. Lose and we lose that game-in-hand advantage as the Hatters will have stretched […]
The Charlton Athletic vs Sunderland prize Guess the Score. Not quite blind faith
This started as something resembling a blind edition of Guess the Score Monsieur Salut has faith in Sunderland AFC but, as work began on this, was about to leave for France for the new year. As a result, he needed to prepare the regular features in advance, so far in advance that he did not […]
Blackpool vs Sunderland Guess the Score: seaside frolics?
New Year’s day is part of a great English football tradition. Games are played on January 1 just as they take place on Boxing Day, so much better than the wimpish French trêve (it also means truce but here denotes a widwinter sporting break). And Sunderland, accompanied by 7-8,000 supporters, are at Blackpool. A special […]
Sunderland vs Shrewsbury Guess the Score: make it two in a row
At a busy period for Sunderland and therefore Salut! Sunderland, postings may appear out of natural sequence. Pete Sixsmith’s full report on the 1-0 win over Bradford City, including his thoughts on the disallowed City “equaliser”, will be published later. For now, premature as it may seem, let us get on with other business by […]
