Monsieur Salut introduces another prize Guess the Score before embarking on a long trek through France, stopping for some disgusting but delicious andouillettes in Troyes on the way and arriving back in the UK on Wednesday night, ready for anything life throws at him (including tickets for Arsenal at home and Bournemouth away) …
If we are honest, a 2-0 defeat was as likely an outcome as any from Stoke City v Sunderland given the current state of our squad.
But the admirable optimism of Salut! Sunderland‘s readers ensured that no one predicted anything worse than a draw.
That means, of course, that since the Stoke game was a prize Guess the Score, so is West Ham v Sunderland.
I am on the road back from France from Tuesday morning, ready for my customary winter in the UK, taking in what matches I can before retreating just before the annual scramble for safety gets under way.
Usual rules: be first and be right and you win a mug. That applies whoever you support and an appropriate design will be chosen if, say, you are a Hammers fan. But you must have a UK delivery address.
Someone please hurry up and win: we still owe a special mug to Leslie Langley, SAFC-supporting TV presenter, actor and model, for becoming the 2,000th follower of Salut! Sunderland at Twitter. I keep telling him it will be sent once someone wins Guess the Score and can order them both at the same time. the excuse is wearing thin.
So have a go Lads and (the occasional) Lasses. Be upbeat, be bold or be gloomy. Who knows? Could be our day at last …
Ha’way the Lads.
3-1 to the hammers
2-2
West Ham 3 – 4 Sunderland……aye bloody right!
3-0 Hammers
Finally a clean sheet 0-0
You were seconds away from the correct score, and a point for the lads.
What a sickener.
I think David is half right with 3 to us but as we saw at Stoke, we cannot defend so it’s 3-3
Anyone still recall that sinking feeling when David Coleman announced on Grandstand, before he even started reading the teleprompter, that “there’s an amzing latest scoreline coming in from Upton park, west ham 8 safc nil. We will check this out.”
I fear a similar tonking as it’s the hammers turn to turn the corner on their bad start.
So that’s 3 nil to the Lads….
The Lads to win 3-2,we can do it.
Sorry – but the ‘Appy ‘Ammers to continue their revival with a 3 – 1 scoreline (I’ll be more than ‘appy if I am proved seriously wrong).
WHU 0 SAFC 1 – It has GOT to happen one day
2-0 To Sunderland. This is the day for a win
1-2 to SAFC ….perhaps!
You think your excuse is wearing thin!
1-1 but not very confident.
