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.

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 […]
