Monsieur Salut has a ticket. The ongoing bore of train strikes – who is the more obstinate, South West Railways or the RMT? – means a car journey down to Fratton Park … It’s certainly a big game. But is it our game of the season given that they are five points ahead of us […]

SAFC vs Bristol Rovers prize Guess the Score: no more slips, please
To listen to my Bristol Rovers-supporting or Bristol-dwelling friends and acquaintances, Sunderland vs Rovers is the mother of all home bankers. We’re up against a basket case of a club playing atrocious football and shipping goals as if for fun. What could possibly go wrong? (more…)
Walsall Guess the Score: ‘can we play you every week? Oh, we already do’
The experience of Saturday prompts a rule addition for the Salut! Sunderland prize Guess the Score: a match abandoned = a competition cancelled. No one had 1-1 in any case so there can be no cries of foul play. (more…)
Accrington Stanley vs SAFC Guess the Score: the club that wouldn’t die
Pete Sixsmith, having begun his annual Santa duties, has a special gift to offer: that unwon copy of Managers, the third column of Sunderland books from Tales From the Red and Whites. Read on … Our headline reflects the proud declaration that sits atop the home page of Accrington Stanley FC’s official website. And many […]
Walsall vs SAFC again: another prize Guess the Score (after the Barnsley ‘cracker’)
Another Saturday, another trip to Walsall. After last week’s eventful 2-2 draw in League One, the Lads return to the Bescot for the FA Cup 2nd round. The Barnsley midweek game produced a Guess the Score winner, the first for a few games. Malcolm Ray, no stranger to prizes from Salut! Sunderland, will soon be […]
Barnsley Guess the Score: salute fighting spirit but it’s time to resume winning
Before introducing Guess the Score, Monsieur Salut has some words to add on the Max Power issue. They are not the words I originally wrote to accompany the article … What I felt and many others felt was the rank stupidity of Max Power, a gifted player enough suspected of possessing the suicidal tendencies often […]
Walsall vs SAFC Guess the Score: winner gets the new TFTRW book
According to our Walsall “Who are You?” candidate, whose thoughts have just landed and will be published on Thursday, we will either be thrashed 4-1 “because we love being the underdogs”, or Sunderland will romp to victory “because sometimes the wheels really do come off”. Nothing in between. And for the FA Cup game a […]

Checkatrade Morecambe: Guess the Score
John McCormick writes: I’m hoping to get this up before my battery runs out so it will be short and sweet. What will the score be on Tuesday when we take on Morecambe in the Checkatrade Trophy? First to post the correct score won’t win a mug but the glory will all be theirs. (more…)
The Port Vale vs Sunderland Guess the Score. Let’s keep up that winning feeling
Oh, the shame of playing in the FA Cup first round. That’s one way of looking at Sunday’s visit to Port Vale. Another is to be philosophical about the chance to test players’ fitness, give lesser-used squad members some game time and maintain the great recent run for Sunderland AFC. (more…)
