WordPress seems happier with Win7 than Win10, and a change of computer has let me add more content and repost the report I did a few hours ago:
It was January 2017 when I last reported on this side of the Pennines, which is not surprising, given the season(s) – and close seasons – we’ve had recently. it’s a bit quieter now, so I thought it a good time to revisit before things get lively again.

He saw comprehensive Sunderland dominance lead to a comfortable victory, James McClean scoring both goals and going close to a hat trick.
Sixer’s Sevens is intended to capture the glory and shame, hope and despair, excitement and ennui of the Sunderland matchday experience. The full archive – see link below – sums up what all Sunderland supporters feel, from darkest gloom to sublime elation, in the words of one who is usually there. On those rare occasions when he is not, or when his own verdict is delayed, the seven-word assessment is preceded by an asterisk to denote his absence.

Pete Sixsmith sent a second seven word text about half an hour after the game last night:
