WTF Sunderland Podcast

Well...the FA Cup dream is over for another year. Do we care? It's hard to judge, but probably not that much. It isn't the only big news that has surrounded Sunderland this week though, so Ross and Pete joined to chat a little about our cup tie with Stoke, and a lot about Enzo Le Fee! Enjoyed the episode?

It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win and three points look the same, no matter how you get it.

Can Sunderland make it two home wins in a week and truly push the top three? Pompey have been a little up and down recently, but arrive at the SOL in confident mood after thrashing Swansea City 4-0. But what can we expect from newly promoted Portsmouth? As always, Hugh from the PO4Cast joins us to run through Pompey's first season back in the Championship. Enjoyed the episode?

Massive, massive three points for the Lads. It wasn't the merriest of Christmases, but it was some new year as Sunderland toppled automatic promotion contenders Sheffield United 2-1 at the SOL. We reacted immediately following the final whistle, and we are very happy! So join me, Dave and Ross as we look over a massive win on Wearside for Regis Le Bris' wonderboys! Enjoyed the episode? Follow us a...

Sheffield United are our first foots in the new year, and could there be a more important game to start the year with? Both sides had a rocky end to their 2024, with just two points from a possible 12 picked up between them, so three points feel like a must for both teams ahead of the new year's day clash at the SOL. Can we get them? To let us know, the absolutely superb Oli from The Sheffield Uni...

A last minute defeat at Stoke is as depressing as it sounds. UGH MAN LAAADS. Graham is sick, so Dave takes the hosting to run through Sunlun's defeat at Stoke with Ross, Brad and Pete joining.

It's Christmas Sunderland fans! Yes, that time of year has arrived once again and we have put together a special festive episode for you. We've ignored the usual quiz we do, and instead decided to pick out some of your unpopular Sunderland opinions to discuss, as we mull over whether we agree - or disagree - with your takes! Pete, Brad and Lee join to go through the list. Won't you join us? Oh, an...

7000 Sunderland fans drunk on Christmas spirit and three wins in four? It must be Blackburn Rovers! It's almost the big day, but we've managed to fit in a little pre-Santy Claus arrival podcast in for you as we look forward a short trip to Ewood Park. After a two year absence, I've joined by the absolutely excellent Ian from Blackburn pod 4000 Miles. Tune in! Enjoyed the episode? Follow us at @Wha...

Merry Christmas from Dan Ballard and Jobe! Another comeback win for the Lads has us sitting nicely in fourth just as Santy Claus gets set to arrive. A 2-1 win over Norwich City has us feeling all a little giddy, and perhaps a little drunk, but join us as myself, Pete and Dave run over another big win at the SOL that rounds of our 2024 home fixtures nicely.

With a hectic Christmas schedule to come, the Lads welcome Norwich City for one of their final Saturday 3pm kick-offs of the year. The Canaries have dipped between good and bad form, but head to the Stadium of Light on a run of three games without a win. So what can we expect from Norwich this weekend? Podcast debutant Freddie Humphry-Wakefield from MyFootballWriter - Norwich City joins me to give...

What a result and what a comeback from the Lads. From 2-0 down to 3-2 up, Sunderland went third in the EFL Championship with a character building win in Wales. We have a full house joining us for the review show as Dave, Ross, Brad and the Sunderland Echo's James Copley joined me to go through a wonderful weekend at the Swansea.com Stadium.

The Lads are off the Wales this week as we look to shake off an underwhelming 1-1 draw at home to Bristol City and try to put a winning run together again. Swansea aren't doing too bad themselves though, and sit just outside the playoff spots after an impressive 2-1 win at Plymouth Argyle in midweek. But what has changed at Swansea since the appointment of Luke Williams last January? Returning gue...

A WIN! It feels like it has been a while since we said that, hasn't it? Tommy Watson defied the horrendous weather to ensure the sun was shining brightly at the SOL as Sunderland downed Stoke City on Wearside thanks to his well deserved brace. Come on and join us as we wax lyrical about yet another quality young Mackem lad that appears destined to play his role as the season progresses. Gerrin! En...

An encouraging performance at Sheffield United yielded zero points, and we now approach the game with Stoke City this weekend on a run of six games without a win. So this weekend is crucial. The Potters have had a knack of pulling out the odd result against us over the last few years, but how likely are they to do that this week? To let us know what to expect, Dave from the excellent Wizards Of Dr...

A strong display at Bramall Lane counted for nothing as a missed penalty from Patrick Roberts and a late Sheffield United goal saw Sunderland hit six games without a win in the race for automatic promotion. It was a tough one to take, and it didn't come with incident or talking points, so Dave and Pete joined me to go through the 1-0 loss that has put a dampener on our weekends. Enjoyed the episod...

The run of draws has been frustrating to say the least, but ahead of a massive game at Bramall Lane, ensuring we remain unbeaten is a must. Just two points separate the teams in the table, and a Sheffield United win is something Sunderland must not allow to happen. Can we do it, and what can we expect? To let us know, the absolutely superb Oli from The Sheffield United away joins me to chat throug...

A midweek clash under the SOL lights, complete with our new foghorn and disco show? Go on then,  we'll take it - and three points please. Draw specialists West Brom are up next, and as we try to shake a run of draws of our own, we are thankfully able to welcome back a load of players from suspension - but will we be undone by in-form former Sunderland man Josh Maja? And why is Callum Styles still...

What a pain in the arse that ended up being. But is it a good point or still two points dropped? Pete and Lee join me to chew over the 1-1 draw at Millwall, the positives, the negatives and preview Tuesday's game against West Brom. Enjoyed the episode?

Dream first-half. Nightmare second-half. And thus was the weekend that was for Sunderland. Two absolute screamers seemed to set us onto a wonderful weekend win over Coventry, only for a series of stupid, unnecessary and annoying events to convert it into a 2-2 draw. Dave and Pete join me to go over the week the yielded three draws and discuss some intriguing selection issues to come after the 2-2...

Can the Lads return to winning ways ahead of the international break - or will Coventry be Coventry and continue to be our bogey team? It has been a tough old start for Coventry, with questions over their manager and aspirations. So what can we expect? Ross from SkyBluesExtra returns to chat us through Saturday's opponents.

Midweek's at Deepdale. It's what the Championship is all about, innit? Another away game in midweek before we return to the SOL at the weekend. We've already visited Preston once this year in the cup, but the side is expected to look a little bit different as we look to build on our lead at the top. Can we do it? To give us the lowdown on Preston, Paul Heckingbottom and his thoughts on former Pres...
