WTF Sunderland Podcast

It's time for another long trip down south with Regis and the boys as we seek to make it six wins in seven at Watford. Our only loss of the season came in our last away game, can we stop it from being two? The Lads are in fine form and Watford come into the game on the back of four games without a win. Is that the full story for the Hornets, though? To let us know, we have the returning Peter from the excellent Do Not Scratch Your Eyes podcast to preview the game. Enjoyed the episode?

Back to winning ways, and exactly what we've come to expect from a wonderfully talented set of lads in the famous red and white.

Ross, Brad and Pete join me to go through another terrific day on Wearside. Enjoyed the episode?

With Sunderland's season dead and Millwall largely safe baring a monumental disaster - Saturday's game holds little other than pride.

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.

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?

Is it a dead rubber? Yes. Are we going to review it anyway? Yes.

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.

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?
