With apologies to the late Lesley Gore and the writers of her pop classic – it took no fewer than four of them: Walter Gold John Gluck Jr, Herb Weiner Seymour Gottlieb, and their song of teenage betrayal was elevated to new heights in the 1981 version of the non-Eurythmics, non-Sunderland Dave Stewart and Barbar […]

Arsenal ‘Guess the Score’: just a matter of how many Defoe scores?
We all know relegated teams like to turn it on for the swansong. After the meekest of surrenders to Swansea, SAFC players – especially those with an eye on lucrative summer transfers – will accordingly raise their game at Arsenal. Two for Defoe, one more for Billy Jones as we romp to a 3-1 win. […]
Relishing victory at Hull and time to Guess the Score vs Swansea
Monsieur Salut writes: talk about killing two birds with one stone. Peter Lynn has put away – probably smashed – the crystal ball that kept telling him we’d stay up. But he hasn’t lost the faith in an broader sense. He was at Hull and will, I imagine be at the Stadium of Light on […]
Hull vs SAFC Guess the Score: down with pride, or self-pity?
Before we reach this week’s business of guessing the score at Hull City on Saturday, Salut! Sunderland is delighted to be able to say that our friends at Art of Football are the first confirmed sponsors of this season’s farewell-to-the-Premier-League edition of the HAWAY (highly articulate Who are You?) awards. These, as most readers […]
SAFC vs Bournemouth Guess the Score, not that it matters much any more
This is a deliberately brief edition of Guess the Score. It will receive the same sort of effort the players put into most games. A prize will be awarded to the first reader who correctly predicts the `result of Sunderland vs Bournemouth. The choice will again be between a mini-version of the Nick Barnes Matchbook […]
Middlesbrough vs Sunderland Guess the Score as the curtain crashes down
Let’s not beat about the bush. Wrinkly Pete’s rose-tinted crystal ball couldn’t save us and nor could my sister and her family’s Boro passions save them from the drop. We are both going down, leaving little more than pride – and avoidance of bottom place – at stake at the Riverside on Wednesday. The maths […]
Sunderland vs West Ham Guess the Score: needing to play for pride
Monsieur Salut introduces another prize edition of Guess the Score as Sunderland face West Ham and the world asks whether they can actually score … Our latest defeats brought – sorry, will bring once I get round to it – prizes for Eric Bowers and Chris Boyle, both past winners. Chris will receive a mini-edition […]
Sunderland vs Manchester United prize Guess the Score. As life ebbs away …
We awoke to the realisation that yet another defeat, yet another game without hint of a Sunderland goal except from Anichebe’s deflected shot, had indeed happened, writes Monsieur Salut. It wasn’t a bad dream. Nor were the Leicester chants directed at David Moyes: “You’re getting slapped in the morning.” And we also awoke to reports […]
Leicester City Guess the Score as Sunderland win! Stranger things have happened
Malcolm Dawson writes………Tuesday evening sees the Lads return to the “Son of Filbert Street Stadium”, where last season they kick started the Foxes’ challenge for the title. This was supposed to be another one of them six pointer affairs but the Boys in Blue have added weight to the new manager rebound theory and now […]
Watford Guess the Score: the road to Chelsea (and SAFC salvation) starts here
This, then, is the fantasy for Vicarage Road. Jermain Defoe returns from his Wembley triumph, hits more goals for Sunderland and launches David Moyes’ ultimately successful act of escapology. Watford (a) becomes the first of several wins that somehow secure survival on or before that doddle of a closing fixture at little Stamford Bridge on […]

As talks on selling Sunderland collapse, are things at last looking rosier?
So we have reached June 29, the retail launch of the new and controversial home kit (I still like the […]
