Without a win in three, Sunderland face old manager Alex Neil unsure of whether now is a good - or bad - time to face the wee traitor. Stoke have found the appointment of Neil not quite as beneficial as we did and he brings his Potters side to the SOL on the back of two home defeats to Millwall and Brighton. So how is the mood around Stoke right now? PlanetSport man and Stoke season ticket holder...

It hasn't been a great week for Sunderland a defeat at Coventry has needing a big lift to get back into the play-off positions. It was just me and Dave this week, and we discuss all the main talking points from our defeat in the Midlands, the striker shortage and the continuous baffling performances from referees.

The unbeaten away run is over and it doesn't get easier as we head to in-form Coventry City this Saturday. There's always been a bit of needle between the Lads and our friends from the Midlands but after the Sky Blues became our first Championship test, we already know how tough of a game it could be. But how are Coventry fans viewing it? To give us the lowdown on all things Cov is the excellent J...

For the first time in a couple of months, we went rogue again and recorded direct from our phones before, during and after Sunderland's 1-1 draw at home to Bristol City. The Lady from the Collery Tav tried to move us, but we remained first as we bring you a live and unedited version of What The Falk's Sunderland review show. Enjoyed the episode?

Back to back wins, one defeat in eight and fifth off top in the Championship. Can things get better? Let's hope so. Sunderland return to the Stadium of Light fresh off the back of an excellent 3-0 win at Queens Park Rangers and face an in-form Bristol City team for a 3pm Saturday kick off. To give us the lowdown on the Robins recent upturn and Nigel Pearson  in form is Dave from the Forever Bristo...

Hopefully by the time you are reading this, Sunderland have dispatched of Premier League in the FA Cup and we are reading and raring to go for our home game against Reading this Saturday at the SOL. If not - we can still look forward to it after a very solid, battling point away at Millwall last Saturday, right? But what sort of Reading side are we going to see arrive at the SOL this week? One of...

Another massive performance - but this time more about effort and desire than skill and talent as Sunderland took a hard earned point back from London. Poor old Dennis Cirkin was seeing stars as he nodded home and, amongst plenty of other talking points, the lads discuss how great it is to see him back. Enjoyed the episode?

It has been quite a while since we had a Sunderland special - and we went for something a little bit different. It is short and sweet, but to celebrate Republica playing The Fire Station on Friday 3rd February , we invited lead singer Saffron on the show. Quite simply the voice of the Stadium of Light, she chats her memories of playing for 40k+ Sunderland fans, why her song Ready To Go still reson...

League action returns for the Lads, though the location stays the same as last week with Sunderland set to visit the New Den and Millwall. The Lions are pretty good at home, so we head south knowing it is going to be a challenge... And the excellent Alex Grace from That Millwall Pod joined to give us the lowdown and exactly what we can expect from them. Enjoyed the episode? Follow us at @WhatTheFa...

Deadline day has arrived so myself, regular Brad and Dave and BBC Radio's Nick Barnes go together to chat about all the ins and outs. Enjoyed the episode? Follow us at  @WhatTheFalkPod , or like and subscribe via your favourite podcast app.  Joe Anderson sounds good - but why have we bought a centre back? How likely are we to see Ellis Simms return to the club? Will it be on loan or permanent? The...

There were a ton of positives to take from Craven Cottage but one HUGE negative as we drew 1-1 with Fulham. It will be a replay for the Lads in a couple weeks as we put in a superb display against Marco Silva's side, however, the seemingly season ending injury to Ross Stewart leaves a huge hole in the squad. Ross and Dave join to discuss the game, that injury and what needs to be done in the trans...

A free hit against a high flying Premier League team and one of the best away days in the country? Magic of the cup innit. Sunderland head to West London for a fourth round FA Cup clash against Marco Silva's Fulham outfit to test out just how far we've come in the last six to eight months. And luckily for you, we had one of our best guests ever in the shape of Jack Collins of Fulhamish Podcast and...

The season that just keeps on getting better threw another superb Sunderland display our way as we swatted aside alleged promotion hopefuls Boro 2-0 at the SOL. Brad, Ross and Dave join for a podcast jam packed with positive energy that is bound to flow right through you. And there's plenty drink involved. Enjoyed the episode?

It is finally here, the derby that nobody thinks is a derby derby between Sunderland and Boro. The Teessiders are bang in form as Michael Carrick and his boys arrive at the Stadium of Light but Sunderland, reeling from last week's 3-1 defeat to Swansea, have shown they are a match for anyone in this league. Can we finally get one over Boro after not beating them for over a decade? Tom Green (no no...

Well that was really, really annoying. A bad refereeing performance (and you, linesmen) and a 3-1 defeat is about as a crap as it can get but the lad remain positive as we take a look back at Saturday's afternoon's game at the SOL. Ross and Dave join to pick apart the bones. Enjoyed the episode? Follow us at @WhatTheFalkPod, or like and subscribe via your favourite podcast app. #SAFC #SCFC #EFLCha...

League action will return for the first time since the 26 December as the Swans dive up to Sunderland for a lovely 3pm Saturday afternoon kick off. They haven't exactly been on fire, but can Swansea still zoom up the league beginning with a win at the SOL on Saturday? Let's hope not. To let us know exactly what we are in for though is return guest Luke from the excellent SwansCast. Tune in! Enjoye...

I said I didn't care - but I definitely do now. That was great. The Aiden O'Brien derby was decided by two very, VERY late goals as Sunderland deservedly moved onto Round Four of the FA Cup after a dominant display in Salop. Ross, a very merry Dave and Brad joined me to give their thoughts on the win, Chris Rigg and this month's January window. Enjoyed the episode? Follow us at @WhatTheFalkPod, or...

Well, it is certainly not a glamour tie, is it? Sunderland take a rest from the hectic Championship schedule as pay Carl Winchester, Tom Flanagan, Aiden O'Brien and Steve Cotterill a visit in Shrewsbury for the FA Cup third round. Are either set of fans that interested? Has the FA Cup lost it's magic? Or is cup fever searing through ours and Salop fans veins? Returning guest Ollie from the Salopca...

We went for something a little different for our New Year's Day jaunt to Blackpool by recording our review show 'live', catching up before the game, at half time and full time. Which players drove us mad at half time and delighted us at full time? Which players do we think changed the game and how did we assess our draw on the seaside? Enjoyed the episode?

New year in Blackpool? We've been here before... It has been a phenomenal couple of days to be a Sunderland fan after a last minute Boxing Day win over Blackburn Rovers and a demolition of Wigan Athletic three days later. Can we make it 3?  My old pal Matt from the superb Seasiders blog Mitch Cook's Left Foot joins me to give us the lowdown on Blackpool poor run, Michael Appleton, Ellis Simms and...

Well...we hadn't planned on doing a podcast but we simply had to because Sunderland and fourth off top and things are just brilliant. Amad Diallo, Ross Stewart, Ellis Simms and Patrick Roberts scored the goals, but me and Ross go over just how unbelievable Sunderland were as we smashed the Tics. Enjoyed the episode?

Me, Brad and Dave got together for a Christmas chinwag, a wee drink and bit daft natter about Sunderland. We ask: Which former #SAFC player would you invite to Christmas dinner? Which current #SAFC player would you invite to Christmas dinner? Myself, Brad and Dave all defend some indefensible Sunderland opinion And gift ourselves former Sunderland players for the current squad Enjoyed the episode?...

Merry Christmas everyone! Can Sunderland get the present we all want this Boxing Day and nab three points? Blackburn Rovers have been in unusual form all season, yet sit third in the league. However, an expected win could lift the Lads to just outside the play offs. Can we do it? The excellent Ian from BRFCS Podcast joined us to let us know. Enjoyed the episode?
