The saying about glass houses and stones hurtles into mind. Salut! Sunderland writers dish out criticism when they feel it is appropriate, so we must expect brickbats to be tossed our way, too. I chanced upon a Ready to Go discussion on the merits and otherwise of sites/blogs related to Sunderland AFC. The usual dismay […]

Salut! Sunderland wishes all readers and contributors a glorious Christmas
Colin Randall writes (OK, some would say that’s an exaggeration): Salut!

Salut! aimed […]
Football Blogging Awards: even Dylan and Darwin couldn’t save us

As the Lads face WBA, Salut! Sunderland kicks off its own season
Week after week, a diehard Sunderland supporter Simon R – @sie_ftm at Twitter – includes @salutsunderland in his #FF (Friday follows once tweet abbreviations are converted to tweetspeak). Most Fridays, I thank him. Today I added my eve-of-season thought: “The usual mixture of excitement, hope and apprehension!” To which Simon threw trepidation into the mix. […]
Sixer’s Villa Soapbox: where’s the resolution on Wearside?
Malcolm Dawson writes….back in the not so dim and distant past, I was enjoying a pint in the Kings Arms prior to the League Cup quarter final, repeating the message contained in several of my comments on Salut! Sunderland – that we would be fine. Our squad, I argued, was at least as good as […]
