WTF Sunderland Podcast

The Lads are back in the capital this week, as we visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time. Can we return back to the wonderful north east with all three points? An underwhelming Spurs side have failed to ignite under new head coach Thomas Frank, but are unbeaten in their last two, so what can we expect from them this weekend? To let us know, the excellent Harry Scarfe from Scarfey S...

A worthy point at home to winning machines Manchester City ensured it was a strong start to the new year for the Lads, as the unbeaten home run continued at the SOL. Graham, Ian, and Ross decided to treat themselves to a night at 76 Yards, got all suited and booted and recorded live from the North Stand before the game, at half-time, and immediately after the game. Join us for a rare, but enjoyabl...

Hardly a Christmas cracker, but a solid point to close out an outstanding 2025 on Wearside against a surprisingly impressive Leeds United team in solid form. With the year now done and dusted, and all eyes switching to the new year, Dave, Pete and Alex assess the draw with Leeds at the SOL, Dennis Cirkin's Premier League, and Sunderland's form with a tough round of fixtures to come. Enjoyed the ep...

It's been some year to be a Sunderland fan hasn't it? So how else to celebrate it than to have a quiz that looks back on a year that truly belonged to Wearside in the shape of a 2025 Chrissmassy end of year quiz. Pete, Dave, and Alex all take on the challenge, but who has been paying attention this year, and who has been enjoying it so much, they've forgotten all the little details? Give it a list...

Our final visitors of the year arrive in the shape of Leeds United, as we look to ensure our unbeaten home league run drives on in 2026. Both teams are in good form, though, so it'll be far from an easy one to navigate. After a tough start to the campaign, Leeds have sorted themselves out and will enter Wearside in confident mood. So what can we expect from a rejuvenated Daniel Farke side? To let...

Another valuable point on the road sees Sunderland move into fifth place ahead of Santa coming, and you'll see no complaints on Wearside about the lay of the land heading into the new year. Graham, Pete, Sophie, and Dave share our thoughts on the game on the south coast, the performance of Adingra, Riggy and Geetruida and how we feel about things at the - almost - halfway point. Enjoyed the episod...

The Lads are back on the road this weekend, as we make the long journey to the seaside to face an inconsistent, but established, Brighton and Hove Albion at the AMEX Stadium.

To let us know what to expect from the Seagulls, find out how Tommy Watson is doing, find out what is still to hopefully come from Simon Adringa, and loads more, th...

Superiority is a strange to concept to some - but not to us. The Lads done them again, and we all knew it was coming. So let's enjoy it, like we usually do.

Enjoyed the episode? Tough, we want you to u...

It's been eight years in the making, but the Wear-Tyne derby is back this weekend on Wearside, and both sides enter the game in excellent.

Outclassed? Outplayed? Or simply just not up to it on the day? However you view it, Sunderland's 3-0 defeat the Etihad was neither a disaster, not a success, yet still had plenty of talking points. Ahead of a big old week, Graham, Pete, Sophie, and Dave run over the match, our feelings after it and how it could affect next week's game against...them. Enjoyed the episode? Tough, we want you to unsu...

A performance that deserved so much more at Anfield, though we won't complain too much, as Chemsdine Talbi's goal secured us a well deserved point on Merseyside.

A double game week sees the Lads head to the Etihad Stadium for our second tough away test of the week. We've been tricky opponents for City over the years, but can this Sunderland side go one better and pick up a result against Erling Haaland and co.? It has been quite a topsy turvy few weeks for Man City, with goals galore at both ends of the pitch. So what can we expect from them this weekend?...

The Lads head to Merseyside with a one point gap separating them and the the Premier League champions. Can they pull off another away day shock and continue to upset the apple cart? It has been an unexpectedly tough start for Arne Slot's side, with three successive defeats coming prior to their weekend win at West Ham. So what sort of Liverpool side will we be facing? To let us know, Mick Moran fr...

A game for the ages that one! The rain poured, the goals flows, and the Lads pulled out a magnificent win against a strong Bournemouth side. It had everything.

International break is over and done with, and the Lads are back in action as we head to London for another weekend win the smoke (hopefully!). It's been a tough old start for Marco Silva's side, and injuries and poor form has resulted in them flying a little too close to the wind as Sunderland head to the Cottage. So what can we expect this weekend? The excellent Jack Collins from Fulhamish Podca...

Another week, another tremendous Sunderland performance. They hadn't conceded a goal in 811 minutes coming into the game, let alone two in one game.

A sticky first 30 minutes ended in a pretty dominant final 60, but the spoils were shared at the Stadium of Light as Granit Xhaka's first Sunderland goal secured a point on Wearside.

Enjoyed the episode? Tough...
