It has been a damp squib of a tournament for England so far, but it appears the last 16 is on the horizon come hell or high water.

At long last, a draining and ultimate boring season for Sunderland is nearing its end with the visit of Sheffield Wednesday. Under Danny Rohl, the Owls have gone to within a point of an unlikely relegation escape and head to the SOL this Saturday hoping to secure their second tier status. Will they do it (yes)? To let us know is returning guest James from Wednesday 'Til I Die pod. He's a lovely chap. Enjoyed the episode?

Football...eh? Nah. But at least we have some rumours to discuss. Sunderland lost at Watford, but it doesn't really matter as almost every Lads fan just awaits a hugely important summer on Wearside. Dave and Lee join me to discuss our thoughts on new managers, an important summer for the recruitment team and the feeling of aparthy on the banks or the River Wear. Enjoyed the episode?

In the season that doesn't seem to want to end, we have just one more away game to go. Sigh. A drab home defeat to Millwall secured Sunderland's inconsistent season and we head to Watford this weekend with, once again, little but pride to play for. That said, it's an episode with two big guest favourites on as Peter and Justin join me to discuss another team with little to play for. Enjoyed the episode?

With Sunderland's season dead and Millwall largely safe baring a monumental disaster - Saturday's game holds little other than pride. That said, last weekend's win over West Brom has lifted spirits a little and we head back to the Stadium of Light hoping Mike Dodds can claim his first victory at home since taking his third interim spell in charge. Alex from ThatMillwallPod joins us to tell us why Millwall have struggled this year and what they feel like ahead of the weekend, Enjoyed the episode?

It means very little in the context of a season but it certainly made the weekend a little brighter didn't it? A nice big win at a play-off chasing side and the Lads had a right laugh. The season is dwindling down so we didn't get too excited but we had plenty of Dan Ballard, Hummell and Sunderland chat so hopefully you enjoy. Ross and Lee join me to celebrate a good old three points at the Hawthorns. Enjoyed the episode?

Getting a point at Leeds was objectively very, very funny wasn't it? The season is done and dusted and we're now just hoping for some positivity as the season draws to a close and next up we face Baggies team who are nine unbeaten. Can we upset things once more?

Better than what had came before but still just one win in 10. These podcasts are getting no easier and mirror what we are watching on the field In fairness, this was one we deserved to win as Bristol City's goalkeeper and the crossbar kept our visitors in it but it all feels a bit apathetic, doesn't it? Dave and Brad join me to try and get 40 minutes of sense of our Sunderland's rank rotten end to the season. Enjoyed the episode?

Is it a dead rubber? Yes. Are we going to review it anyway? Yes. Here we go. 5-1 defeats and shitty Easter weekends weren't exactly what we ordered but there are still games to go until the meek season draws to a thank ful close. Sorry - but it is true. The excellent Patch from 3 Peaps In A PodCast joins us to chat about Bristol City, give us a quiz and preview a completely meaningless game. Hurrah! Enjoyed the episode?

Winning! We won and things feel just that littl bit brighter on Wearside. Mike Dodds grabbed his first win of his third interim spell as Sunderland as an impressive performance helped them see off Cardiff City in Wales.

The international break is over and Sunderland are now presented with two chances to break their seven game winless run - beginning with a trip to Wales on Friday. Things aren't much better for Cardiff though after their four game winning run came to an abrupt end with a loss to Swansea City prior to the international break. Both sides are likely aware their season is dead but need a win for seperate reasons, who will in out? The always excellent Mark Poyser joins me to give us the lowdown on our opponents.

Well...we didn't lose. Quite frankly, we have also completely lost the plot on this podcast. Quite how we managed to get 38 minutes out is anyone's guess but here we are to run the rule over a very boring 0-0 draw between two poor and we even managed to have a little laugh. The whole gang joined as Dave, Brad, Ross and Lee join me for a podcast that is a bit unhinged. Give it a listen! Enjoyed the episode?

Six defeats in a row, multiple injuries and an interim manager yet to win a game in his third stint. It ain't so rosey on Wearside right now. That said, QPR are also desperate for points as Marti's R's rock up to the Stadium of Light looking to grab a massive three points and inflict further pain on the Lads. Can they do it - or will Sunderland finally end their run of defeats? The always incredible Clive from LoftForWords joins us to chat about Beale, Marti, Gareth and Sunderland, what the game means to QPR and what has changed since that 3-1 win for Sunderland in 2023.

Sadly, it is a sixth defeat in a row that we are left to chew over as Sunderland's mess of a season continues to disapate into nothingness. Mike Dodds stint as interim head coach continued at St. Mary's as a lacklustre first half left us having to put in a mammoth second half performance, which we did for a bit, before reverting to type. Brad and Dave join me as we look to put a spin on a podcast that in many could have been about any game since January. Sake. Enjoyed the episode?

When times are hard, times are hard - and for Sunderland right now, things really pretty rough. The midweek loss to Leicester City saw some positives in the second half but ultimately led to our fifth defeat in a row as we head to Southampton for a mightily tough away, Mike Dodds are co. are hoping for a turnaround that would surprise a few. Can we do it? Well, I don't know really so I invited on the excellent George Rees-Julian of the Daily Echo to give us the lowdown on the Saints season to date. Enjoyed the episode?

Well. Four defeats in a row isn't great is it? Sigh. It is a similar story as his predecesor for interim man Mike Dodds as we go down 1-0 to Norwich at Carrow Road and we are really struggling right now.

It has been a frustration, curious and ultimately very Sunderland month hasn't it? Three defeats on the bounce and we head into three very tough fixtures starting with Norwich City this weekend. But hey, it isn't all bad news because this week we have a great guest in the shape of Norwich City fan and Sky Sports Soccer Saturday host Simon Thomas who joins me to chat all things Canaries (the team, not the bird) Tune in!

Rough is one way to describe it. Three defeats on the spin and play off hopes dwindling. It's not quite turning out to be the season we hoped it would be. Sadly for Mike Dodds, it was more Doncaster Rovers at home than it was Leeds United at home and a shambolic first 45 gave Sunderland far to much to do at the SOL against Swansea City. There's plenty apathy but more than a handful of questions to ponder as Brad and Dave join me to go over another Sunderland defeat. Enjoyed the episode?

Beale is no more and Doddsy is at the wheel as we welcome the boys from Swansea for a weekend clash at the Stadium Of Light. Both sides are in a struggle, one needs points to help their flagging play off hopes and the other to steer clear of relegation - while a draw would likely be accepted by both. The excellent Luke from SwansCast joins me once more to fill me in on their new boss and their recent difficult run of fixtures that has them just four points off relegation. Enjoyed the episode?

63 days. That was all it took for the Sunderland hierarcy to realise they had made a terrible mistake and Beale is now more. We saw it coming, and it came and it tumbled as we stumbled from one error to another - alas, we must move forward with Doddsy in the driving seat.

The concerns that our performances against Stoke City and Plymouth Argyle were a flash in the pan came to fruition. Two defeats on the bounce, Michael Beale under huge pressure once more. A fairly acceptable first half performance turned into a dire second half one and Sunderland once against returned to Wearside damaged, bruised and ultimately pointless. We didn't really want to but Brad and Dave join me to run through the weekend's big talking points and take some listeners questions. Enjoyed the episode?

Things have changed quite a bit since the two sides last faced off in a 3-1 win for Sunderland at the Stadium of Light earlier in the season. For a start, Tony Mowbray is in the opposite dugout, Alex Pritchard will be watching in a blue tracksuit rather than a red one and Wayne Rooney will be twiddling his fingers doing nowt because he's no longer there. One thing has remained the same though, Sunderland's inconsisteny and inability to win away from home. Can we change the record this weekend? Tommy from Blues Focus joins me to let me know.

Whisper it quietly but Michael Beale's Sunderland are starting to look pretty damn good - which is just fantastic! A bland first half became an excellent second half as the Lads pieced together their best performance under the new head coach since he took charge and long may it continue.

The Lads return to the Wearside this week as we welcome Plymouth Argyle to the Stadium of Light for a lovely Saturday 3pm kick off. We only met in November but both sides will have new men in the dugout as they clash again, so there's lots of new things to discuss as both team look to continue unbeaten league runs. The excellent Ben from the Green and White podcast joins me to fill us in on the new manager, the recent good run of form and why Argyle will present a different task for the Lads on Saturday.

Nazzy Rusyn bags, Sunderland grab a late point and it appears to have been a good weekend. The Tees-Wear clash left a lot of thoughts, both positive and negative, but ultimately there were some positives to take as the little Ukraine nabbed us a deserved share of the spoils.

It was an unexpectedly cracking weekend for Sunderland against Stoke - but will it be a flash in the pan or can we go for two wins on the bounce? Sunderland's visiting contingent will know it has been a while since we took points at the Riverside, so perhaps it needs to a positive performance for more reasons than one. Can we do it? Boro have been hard to judge this year so we roped in one of our favourite guests in the shape of Jonny from The Boro Breakdown to give us the lowdown on the Teessiders. Enjoyed the episode?

Just when you expect implosion, Sunderland give you near perfection and make light work of Stoke City. The day didn't come without drama but thankfully there was little to be found on the pitch as goals from Mason Burstow, Abdullah Ba and Pierre Ekwah ensured we took a comfortable 3-1 win on Wearside.

For Stoke, the bad man Alex Neil is gone but for us...the Beale remains as Sunderland season looks set to slide. Michael Beale will be hoping he can silence some critics this week and mastermind a victory over a manager who was appointed on the same day as he was last month. To chat over how Alex Neil's reign came to an end, how Steven Schumacher is faring in his opening games and why Lynden Gooch is just great, Stoke City reporter Pete Smith joined me for a chin wag.

It wasn't a good Friday at the SOL as Sunderland once again came out of a live Sky Sports game with a defeat. The pleasure has turned up on Michael Beale as the bulk of fans begin to call for his head. Will the life continued to be sucked out of SAFC or will the board send him packing?
