Jake is our treasured but exiled graphic artist. Most of the images at Salut! Sunderland emanate from his place in Spain. Here, he joins the Beauties and Beasts parade with scathing comments about modern football gear and find reminiscences of shirts of the past, though not always the matches he wore them too …
Monsieur Salut’s school record is littered with stern, sarky or downright contemptuous remarks from teachers and headmasters. ‘Could do better’, ‘doesn’t concentrate’, ‘not good enough for this school’. That kind of thing. So DeAndre Yedlin should take heart and learn from what follows, Charles Richards of The Spurs Report’s Q&A with Pete Sixsmith on how he’s done on loan at Sunderland.

Salut! Sunderland’s deputy editor Malcolm Dawson is among several to have answered Monsieur Salut’s call for contributions to the new series on Sunderland tops you’ve known and loved or hated.

Loves Newcastle United, contemptuous of SAFC. He certainly wound up our star writer Pete Sixsmith, as you’ll see later today or tomorrow, but assures us it’s ‘all in the spirit of banter’. Charles runs his own fan site thespursreport and writes for another, The Tottenham Way. Now prepare to be offended …
Out of sequence as Pete Sixsmith has not yet been able to file his report from Swansea, but let’s crack …
Rob Hutchison doesn’t waste words and his introduction and ratings tell the story perfectly from our 4-2 win at Swansea. Over to Rob;

Malcolm Dawson writes……this was an eventful game to say the least. Six goals (one possibly offside, a debatable penalty, a …
Malcolm Dawson writes…the half time text from Pete Sixsmith read “yet another embarrassing and inept first half.” No sooner had …
