Our Gav Henderson welcomes Martin Wanless back to the pod as the lads look back on Sunderland's goalless draw against Bristol City at the Stadium of Light yesterday, ahead to Tuesday night against Leeds at Elland Road, and grab a few listener thoughts on all things SAFC!  What's the crack?  It wasn't a win - we couldn't get the ball to go in - but was it better?  A far improved performance from Pierre Ekwah yesterday; Martin thinks he needs to get a bit of consistency going ahead of potential competition arriving for his place in that midfield.  The lads just don't ..read more

Our Martin and Chris had the good sense to fuck off on holiday for Easter so Gavin grabbed our heavy loss specialist, Craig Chapman, to see if they could ignore talking about any of the football from the win on Good Friday over Cardiff or the horrific loss yesterday to Blackburn!  What's the crack?  Those Good Friday vibes didn't continue, the lads would've talked about them but why bother?  Argh why us argh etc  Dodds was a mistake. A terrible, terrible mistake aye.  Would Heckingbottom be a good appointment and if so, would it be better to get him in now ..read more

So we stopped a cycle of losing before heading into what is a very welcome international break for most, as Sunlun held QPR to a draw at the weekend. Join Gav and Martin as they try to talk about it all.. and end up talking about everything but the game. What’s the crack? Our worst losing streak in a decade comes to an end, but we didn’t make it easy on ourselves; what did the lads make of it all? Nice quick minute or so spent on the game itself here. We got a clean sheet! Just the one for now but it’s good news? It is isn’t it? Tell me it is please I need something. Can we build on t ..read more

If you haven't noticed there's a little gift we've posted full of joy and positivity just prior to this here podcast. Honest it's all great fun. Seriously though we are actually back, as Gav and Chris sat down late last night to look at the Southampton result and ahead to QPR!  What's the crack?  BREAKING NEWS: WE'RE STILL SHITE It wasn't exactly an inspirational performance against Southampton but at least we got a couple goals aye?  Stop overthinking it Mike; the lads try to explain to Dodds where he might be going wrong...  Defensive injury woes continue to j ..read more

Personal circumstances we don't really need to go on about online have unfortunately put the pods back a couple weeks, so in the interest of continuity/torture/sadism this is a combination of three recordings made after our defeats at home to Swansea, Norwich City and Leicester City… running back to back.  This isn't something we'd necessarily advise you listen to, especially if you're feeling a bit low, but if that's your thing then we won't judge. Enjoy the descent into madness or switch to the Southampton reaction and QPR preview that's just gone up. What's the crack?  The fir ..read more

Chris and Gav look at the Beale burner fiasco that unfolded since we last recorded, at the task Dodds has ahead of him now for the rest of the season, and look ahead to his first challenge against Swansea on Saturday! Or they try to but get distracted aye. What's the crack?  BurnerGate; Well that's not very a clever thing to do is it lad? The lads try and work out why it appears he did what he did and why it's a bad idea... Will Michael Beale get another job in coaching after this or should he take some time to consider everything that has happened these past couple months/years;&nb ..read more

Aye there'll be more from us on this in the near future - specifically burner related - but Gav and Chris sat down to give their initial thoughts on the short tenure of Michael Beale coming to an end at SAFC and the appointment of Doddsy as caretaker coach for the rest of the season!  What's the crack?  Beale gets his name in the Sunlun record books;  How are the lads feeling after hearing the news and processing it a little?  A bit of a vague statement from the club about Beale's departure; what do they make of it all?  Should the club consider fan reactio ..read more

Editor's note: Gav has taken my recent illness badly, I fear for my life. If something happens to me it was Gavin Henderson aye. The lads got together to chat all things Sunlun after a lovely win over Plymouth at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, as well as to answer a few listener questions and look ahead to a busy week as Michael Beale tries to fix our away form against both Huddersfield and a certain Birmingham City at the weekend!  What's the crack?  The lads reflect on a nice performance against Plymouth, specifically in the second half... Is Jack Clarke the greatest wing ..read more

So yesterday our Gavin spammed all your social media feeds asking for questions the lads can get themselves in trouble answering and you didn't disappoint. Listen in as they try to cover off as many of your talking points as possible!  What's the crack?  First threesome in a little while, they've not forgotten how it all works though. Aye. The transfer window; Covering everything from outgoings to Greece, new signing Leo Hjelde, the seemingly endless Amad Diallo saga and more!  Questions about the BealeOut hashtag trend and possibly taking things a bit far; Does anyone ..read more
