Martin has already vividly described his first few days back on Wearside, where bis parents were born and raised before emigrating, and promises more. He has a ticket for the Liverpool game and also for the next home tie, against Man Utd a week later.
How sweet the flight home would feel if, somehow, it was made after Sunderland’s points tally had risen to 25. Even a draw and a win would send him home happy.
Martin’s new find in Sunderland: ‘I’ll be back for sure’
Guess the Score, Lads and Lasses. Still just for fun as no new sponsor has appeared out of the mist to stump up for a weekly prize.
Here’s how I summed up our chances in my preview for ESPN FC, where I’m boldly tipping us for a 1-1 draw:
After winning plaudits but no points from Tuesday’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester City, Sunderland visit Liverpool on Saturday under no illusions about the uphill nature of their fight for survival.
… But this was a hugely encouraging performance from the new-look Allardyce team.
There were debuts for three of his transfer window signings — Lamine Kone, Wabi Kahzri and Dame N’Doye — and a magnificent display of composure and skill from a fourth, Jan Kirchhoff. If the spirit shown against City can be maintained, the visit to Liverpool need not be one of those games supporters tend to file under bound-to-lose.

2-1 to Liverpool
The Lads to win 2-0, but any win would do nicely.
It’s 3 points, any score will do.
0-1 ???
It just has to be…………..3-2 to us with all three from Defoe.
A point would be a good result but I can’t see it.
2-1 to the Scousers.
I reckon 1-1
0-0 last season, same again.
Liverpool 1 – 2 Sunderland, three much needed points
