John McCormick writes: Dennis Tueart was on local TV today, with a clip of his 1976 League Cup Final goal against Newcastle (and I have to say he looked a lot older and he’s lost weight), but that’s all I’ve seen about the final. Maybe both Manchester teams not doing well in Europe has muted [...]

Sixer Says: Sunderland triumph over Newcastle again
Pete Sixsmith is beginning to feel spoilt. A couple of nights after seeing the Lads waltz to victory at the home of football’s current laughing stock, he was at the Stadium of Light for a visit from the Newcastle Development Squad to play ours. The winning habit was not broken …
Sixer Says: still glowing in the aftermath of Sunderland’s glory, Newcastle’s humiliation
Pete Sixsmith reflects on a highly satisfactory weekend and what it means for Sunderland’s games to come …. Forty eight hours after that momentous lunchtime at The Sports Direct. I was still buzzing.
Sixer Says: Di Canio just cannot keep his mouth shut
Pete Sixsmith would like to think Paolo Di Canio’s outburst will cost him hard in the pocket – and also herald the start of a period of silence …
Manchester United vs Sunderland: Old Trafford-bound with excitement or nerves?
‘CSB’ won the Salut! Sunderland mug auction hands down and his £30 will go to Water Aid. Pete Sixsmith has sometimes had more water than he’d like at his hillside Shildon residence (Busty Bank to the initiated) but hopes Guy Poyet’s defence will have plugged the leaks evident on Saturday in time for tonight. Talk [...]
Arriverdici Roberto
John McCormick writes: It seems like only a few weeks ago that I wrote about having a modern, professional, forward looking set-up that would do us well for the future. Then we sacked the manager.

Sixer Says: Sunderland held as Stoke young ‘uns play the Pulis way
On his night of fame – a cameo in a BBC programme about the Northern League that fell some way short of the Andy Warhol four-minute test – Pete Sixsmith found himself dodging paparazzi and autograph seekers at Eppleton for a youth development squad match against Stoke City …
Sunderland’s Twelve Days of Christmas: 12+1 Manchester United
First of all, massive apologies to Pete Sixsmith, who intended his excellent series to end yesterday, the anniversary of his last chosen game. It was delayed not to coincide with tonight’s Capital One cup semi versus the same opposition, Man Utd, but by simple incompetence. Perhaps we were thrown by his decision to make the [...]
Sunderland’s Twelve Days of Christmas: (12) Carlisle United
So, the 12th day of Christmas – and of Pete Sixsmith‘s look back at memorable games played over the Christmas/New Year period – can be said to have arrived. They think it’s all over. Ah, but Pete has a Baker’s Dozen in mind … See the full series here: http://salutsunderland.com/category/sixers-sentiments/sunderlands-twelve-days-of-christmas/
Sunderland’s Twelve Days of Christmas: (11) Port Vale
Pete Sixsmith nears the end of an entertaining series of recollections – or, in one or two cases, historical research – of matches played over the festive season. Atkinson, Davenport and Byrne are the names that counted in this game, the start of a run that finished with Sunderland’s last FA Cup Final … See [...]
