Well Monday's performance wasn't very Christmassy was it? And it's bloody freezing! Non the less, it is back to the grind, with no World Cup final to look forward to for England as we visit Hull City this weekend. Hull have a new owner, a new boss and can't win games at home - so what the heck are we getting this weekend? Ant from award winning podcast To Hull And Back joins to let us know. Enjoye...

Sunderland have the chance to make it three from three after an outstanding return to league action last weekend.

Please Amad - could you stay here for a long time? Graham, Brad and Dave review an excellent return to league action for the red and white wizards as we spank promotion chasing Millwall at the Stadium of Light.

And just like that - Sunderland are back!

One last game before the World Cup break sees Sunderland travel to Birmingham City as we look to pick up a much needed result in the Midlands. They've been in good form, and we haven't got much of a record in front of the Sky Sports cameras this season - so if we are to get a result, what needs to happen? BirminghamWorld writer Charlie Haffenden joins me to chat through the Blues season so far. En...

A draw at Luton followed by a win at Huddersfield Town helped Sunderland move up the table as we welcome managerless Cardiff City to the Stadium Of Light this weekend. No manager, an absent owner and a striker crisis? But will Saturday's game be as straight forward as it sounds? Of course not - it never is! To give us the lowdown on what we can expects from the Bluebirds this weekend is the excell...

A positive second half display at Kenilworth Road means the run of defeats is halted and Sunderland can perhaps begin to look up, and not down, the table. Another goal from Elliot Embleton ensured the Lads got the least they deserved against a solid Hatters side and we, as always, got together to dissect the game. Brad Sharp, Dave Lawrence and Michael Bowers joined me on Sunday morning as we picke...

A tough weekend result for both sides means Saturday's game at Kenilworth Road takes on some extra importance, with both teams looking to respond to big defeats. Its been nearly 5 years since we last visited one of the most iconic grounds in England - and 15 years since we last tasted victory there. Can we do it this weekend? To find out, Dave from award winning Luton Town podcast Oh When The Town...

Well - a game of two halves indeed. We debated not doing it, but we did anyway and tried to pick apart how Sunderland contrived to lose four second half goals after going 2-0 up early on.

A swashbuckling win against Wigan was followed up by a frustrating night at Blackburn Rovers - but we come back to Wearside this Saturday to face former Premier League side Burnley at the SOL. A free hit? Many would say so as the high flyers arrive in Sunderland third off top. And why couldn't Sunderland beat them? With 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats, any version of Sunderland could turn up on Satu...

Will Nathan Broadhead score against us like it is obviously nailed on to happen? Who knows. But to give us some idea of how it will...

Positive in the face of a bore draw last week becomes a concern a week later - who'd be a football fan? A very poor first 45 couldn't be rescued by an improved second half display - alas, the striker situation reared its ugly head again. Ross Black and Brad Sharp join to chat through a slightly worrying week for Sunderland and try to look at some positives, while also acknowledging the negatives....

Anyone else pleased we're away this week? A double header of 0-0 draws have taken the shine off a fairly handsome set of results against Reading and Watford as we head off to Wales for the weekend. However, it's not unusual for Sunderland to turn it on when you least expect it, despite Swansea winning 4 of their last 5. Luke from the SwansCast is our guest this week, as he gives us the lowdown on...

A bore draw - but why does it still feel oh so positive? Sunderland produced another good display that, on most days, would have been enough to grab all three points as played out a goalless with 0-0 specialists Preston.
