Last week, the prize offered in Guess the Score was a generous, unaffordable £50 but the bar was set high: to win, you needed correct scorelines from two internationals plus the Swansea match.
No one got close enough to trouble me, but then not many bothered to enter at all. The rest must have known what was coming at the Liberty.
There are no rollover jackpots around here but I will offer the more customary Salut! Sunderland mug for Sunderland vs Newcastle United before we move into an era of just-for-fun Guess the Sore features.
Newcastle fans are naturally welcome to enter. A Mag winner would receive a mug with a suitably amended design. Don’t worry if your entry does not appear immediately. Moderation may hold it up but we’ll know in what order scorelines were predicted. Geordiedoonsooth, first of our “Who are You? interviewees, suggested 2-2 but will have to post a comment to that effect here for it to be considered an entry.
Usual rules: first to guess the score correctly before kickoff on Sunday wins the prize.
Ha’way, choosing our first vowel wisely, the Lads.

Q: What have been your personal highs and lows as a NUFC supporter?
A: Well, I’m only 53, so I’ve not actually seen us win anything …
3-2 to Sunderland , last minute own goal by Taylor wins it for us, then we all shake hands and wish each other well for the rest of the season.
1-0 to SAFC. I think pride will prevail.
16-0 to the toon…..nah not really I think it will be really close 2-2 draw
SAFC 3 – 1 FTm’s
Survival begins
2-1, revival begins.
Another mug Eric!
3 -1 to the mags, although it pains me to say it.
