Rats live on no evil star. The ultimate palindrome, or at least the one we learned at school. In this outstanding analysis, Pete Sixsmith detects lots of rats scurrying about in the bowels of the Stadium of Light. And he still hasn’t decided what to do with the Man City v SAFC ticket sitting on [...]

Sixer Says: another week, another mess and now we go to Spurs
Pete Sixsmith has declared Tottenham on Monday night to be his last away game of the season. If, as seems likely, we lose, it may as well be Sunderland’s, too. Sorry to be so downbeat; it’ll all seem better when we’re banging in goals for fun and winning games galore in next season’s big promotion [...]
Sixers Says: Allardyce’s Hammers need to be nailed
That’s Pete Sixsmith‘s appalling pun in the headline – Monsieur Salut is quite capable of coming up with his own – and it’ll be Big Pete’s presence that is felt on BBC 1′s Late Kickoff on Monday night. In what spirits will Tuesday morning find us? Pete discusses the stakes …
WEMBERLEEEE: Sixer’s Sunderland team to beat Manchester City
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

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. Now the director of football has gone. This shows I know nothing about the game and am not fit to [...]
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 …

Awards surely premature, but Mannone and Borini deserve their acclaim
It seems odd, rather too soon and unnecessary to be naming players as best of the season. With four immensely [...]
