Let’s go early, I thought. The international breaks are important of course, and it was naturally Sunderland AFC that turned Danny Welbeck into such an impressive striker.
But even though I have to return to France until October, I am excited as anyone planning to be at the SoL on Saturday about the resumption of proper football.
And I also have a great little partnership to announce.
Personalised Football Gifts has a head office with Wear in the address – it’s at the Weardale Business Cente in Stanhope – and, better still, is owned by a Sunderland supporter. Check out their SAFC-related merchandise at http://www.personalisedfootballgifts.co.uk/sunderland/sunderland-gifts.
And even better than all that, they have agreed to sponsor Guess the Score. So the competition no longer depends for a prize on Monsieur Salut’s unwise largesse. A mug, whether or not you regard that as life-changing, will be on offer to each and every winner.
More details will follow.
For now, have a stab at Saturday’s scoreline. Spurs fans may join in the fun and a winner from their ranks would receive a mug with suitably modified design.
Important game and there’s a top-rate Who are You? interview with a Spurs-supporting reformed Sun journo to come.
Now tell us Saturday’s score. Usual rules apply – entries must be posted before kickoff – and M Salut’s decision will be final.

Going for a 1-1 draw
2-0.
Oh btw I actually think 1-0 us, Jozy scoring last minute, but given that that’s already taken, I’ll have 2-0 with Alvarez on the scoresheet too.
I think it’ll be 2-1 but as that’s already been taken I’ll go for 1-1.
Sorry Eric; I hope you’re revised prediction is correct. Personally, I’ll take a last-minute deflected bobbler 1-0 victory, as, like a lot of people; I’ve got few fond memories of Spurs games. One of the worst childhood memories I have is standing on the fence at the back right-hand side of the Fulwell, watching a terrible game in a bitterly cold biting wind and Gilzean scoring a header from a late corner. I’m still convinced the corner swirled out of play and then back in; I was devastated at the injustice.
And I’ve still not warmed up. Had a red balaclava on too….
I might have been stood next to you, I never forget a red balaclava.
Do they even call them balaclavas these days?
Balaclavas were a must-have fashion accessory in our house. I reckon you can align the decline in morals in our society with the decline of the balaclava.
SAFC 3 – 1 Spurs, Spurs blunted at the SoL
I cannot win a mug so will go for an outlandish 5-4 to us
I’ll buy you one myself at that score.
You should watch Northern League Terry! Quite common that one! 🙂
I don’t like playing Spurs. Always have a bad feeling.
SAFC 2 – 3 Spuds
I’ll be delighted with anything from the game.
I think another draw. 2-2.
You win William but how the hell we came away with a point I’ll never know! We had to scrap for that all the way!
I think a win’s on the cards but we can’t keep a clean sheet.
So 2-1, with Jozy scoring.
I love an optimist – Jozy scoring indeed!
Oh ye of little faith
See!
My heart says 3-0 to the lads, my head says a 0-2 defeat. Let’s go for the 3-0, including a goal from Rodwell and 2 from set-pieces after they’ve choppped down Alvarez or Buckley after a couple of mazies……who will take our pens by the way?
David, you’ve stolen my scorecast. Can’t believe anyone else would predict 3-0. So, it has to be 4-0.
Wickham took a pen pre season.
