Last week, I honestly thought someone, possibly a Bolton fan, had decided the FA Cup game had 2-2 written all over it. I could find no trace of such a prediction; did I just dream it? If anyone can point me in its direction, then the man, woman or child who made it is owed a mug.
If that seems a miserly prize, it’s a damn site better than what is on offer for Sunderland v West Ham. We’re back to the win one/buy one routine. That means £9.50, postage free in the UK, for a pair of these high-quality, cult-value mugs.
Just post a comment below BEFORE kickoff with your scoreline prediction, plus smart alec quip if you wish. If it proves correct, and is the first accurate entry posted, you win. If you really don’t need/won’t buy a mug, just enter for fun.
A Hammers who wins will be offered mugs woth suitaby tweaked design.
Monsieur Salut will be there, close enough to Pete Sixmsith in the East Stand to keep ears alert for any inappropriate chanting.
Ha’way the Lads …

At the beginning of the article M Salut asked “a Bolton fan, had decided the FA Cup game had 2-2 written all over it. I could find no trace of such a prediction; did I just dream it?”
I, also, seem to remember those exact words being used but, then again, I seem to recall that Malcolm had made his, usual, 5-0 prediction with regard to this game and that seems to have disappeared as well!
Does, Salut Sunderland (perchance) have mice knawing away, or should I make my reservation for a carer poste haste?
4-1 to the lads.
Whoops I see Phil already has 1-0. 1-1 then it has to be.
1-0 to us.
2-0 taken. 2-1 taken. So it’s a gut busting 3-0.
Wahay!
Bet your happy the other scores were taken now!
At 2-0 I was winning £110 off Bet365. At 3-0 I’m “winning” 2 mugs. Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It had to happen: the biggest critic of Salut! Sunderland largesse must decide whether to accept or decline! Delighted your prediction came true, Eric. Now it’s up to you …
“biggest critic of Salut! Sunderland largesse”? Are you confusing me with someone else M Salut? I will be delighted to accept your most generous offer to BOGOF. Where do I send my hard earned dosh? To commemorate my new found status as an ace tipster I intend to change my username. As Edmund Blackadder might have said, “from henceforth thou shalt know me as Eric Two Mugs”.
I do get confused. Often. Eric Two Mugs sounds brilliant. I shall dig out your email details and set it all in train
going for a very close 2-1 win for the lads, about time we got back to winning ways FTM
SAFC 1-2 West Ham Utd
More misery for MON
SAFC 1 WHU 0
As an aside, would you happen to be the Alan Oliver, ex of The Chronicle, who used to write the propaganda that he’d been spoon fed by NUFC ?
SAFC 2 – 0 West Ham Utd, this time we come out of the blocks firing on all six,,,,,,,,I hope, but then again it could take us until half time to get going as usual!
