RRP: "Podcasting at g*npoint" - Reaction to Stoke 2-1 Sunderland & Previewing Leicester v SAFC!

Apparently not everyone enjoyed the game quite as much as these two, but Gav and Chris have a few bones to pick with Mogga over a few issues - despite finding a lot of positives to take from our performance against Leicester on Tuesday night - and look ahead to the Lads return to the Stadium of Light as we take on Norwich on Saturday! What's the crack? God Save Dan Neil. He's just another level isn't he? Patto had a bit more to do in this game and was just class aye. The lads will fill you in on the rest. What did they make of the performance overall and how good were some of the individual performances against a side who look destined to smash all championship records on their way back to the PL; If we'd played like that against Stoke and other stories; the players really tried to show they had what it takes against quality opposition, so can they maintain that level against everyone? There's a bit of a debate about Burstow going on and some confusion over what exactly is wrong with Hemir or Rusyn getting more of a chance to show they can work in this system; Is it time to change the player or adjust the system for better results in the final third? How do we see Tony approaching Norwich on Saturday? Will he actually make the changes people want to see or will he stick with the lads he seems to trust most? Predictions and possible outcomes; should we be approaching this run of games coming up looking to get maximum points? All this and more! Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast.

After avoiding the issue for as long as possible, Gav and Chris sat down in the aftermath of a refereeing and game management disasterclass to look at Sunderland 0-4 Boro and the state of officiating in the modern game. What's the crack? What the actual f*** was that? How is that the standard of refereeing in this country? The letter of the law versus the spirit of the law; it's not the rules, it's how and when you apply them. A lack of consistency; the lads get to the bottom of the frustration with PGMOL. Mowbray's game management; what did the lads make of the way Tony attempted to adapt to the situation? Despite the result, how do the lads feel heading into this international break sat where we are currently? All this and a bit of a long rant. Aye. Ha'way the Lads! Free Dan Neil! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello again... As we play midweek we thought it would be a good idea to preview the fixture a little, so Chris and Gav took a quick look at Watford's visit to the Stadium of Light! What's the crack? What are Watford up to recently? They're not looking great sat where they are in the table; Be nice to get another three points under the lights against a struggling side but there's always a worry that could work against us so will they come to frustrate or will they take the risk and try to attack? Do we think Mowbray will make a few changes given we play Boro on Saturday? The lads try a bit reverse psychology on Tony this week.Gav takes a look at the Watford fans online and their take on it all; are they feeling any hope currently and if not, can we exploit that? Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFLChampionship #EFL Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our Gav and Chris were joined this week by a very tired Martin from the land down under as they tried to work out what time of day/night it was, chatted about the win on Friday and look at your thoughts and opinions on all things SAFC right now! What's the crack? CLARK, CLARKE WILL TEAR YOU APART, AGAIN! Just aye. Jack Clarke is too good for this division. How good is this side? Do we know how high the ceiling is for some of the talent we have? Burstow played his best game for the Lads so far, what did we think of his performance? Cheers for the points Chansiri? Sheffield Wednesday are in a bit of a state at the moment, bless them, and he's not exactly helping matters; Sunlun 2.0 - We often think of "doing a Sunlun" as a negative but has that changed recently? What has actually driven our successes on the pitch, and how much has our new approach changed people's perception of the club? We go through a few listener points and of course the three word reviews, as Gav once again gets carried away… Or does he? Are we good enough to challenge this season? All this and a lot more! Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFLChampionship #EFL Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Following on from the breakdown of our home defeat to Cardiff at the weekend, Gav and Chris reconvene to discuss Sunderland's upcoming fixture at Hillsborough against Sheffield Wednesday (in front of the Sky cameras) on Friday night. Given that our Chris has been studying their fans down in their natural habitat of South Yorkshire for a few years now, we turn to him to ask the important questions like.. can we make them more miserable than they already are? What's the crack? Chris needs this win as he's surrounded by their lot; but just because we should win.. well.. you know the rest. Yes things really are that bad down there. The fans are apathetic, agitated, annoyed, sick of the owner and the manager and the struggle. Sounds familiar. In all seriousness, can we take advantage of a side that currently share a terrifying statistic with a former striker of ours? Are we tempting fate with all this? Of course aye. The lads discuss the possible changes (if any) that Tony Mowbray could make, and wax lyrical about a couple of promising performances for the U21 side on Monday, as Rusyn, Rigg and Aouchiche got a decent run out; Is Patto fully fit? Was Bishop held back for a reason on Monday? Is Ekwah anywhere near ready to return? What about Dack for Pritch? How many question marks can I get away with? How do the lads see this all playing out? With the Sky cameras there will we be seeing a protest from their fans, or even (if he loses) the end of another Wednesday manager's time at the club? All this and much more! If you don't get a reference to Saxon or Def Leppard then ask your Da or Granda or Google. Haw'ay the Lads! #SAFC #EFLChampionship #EFL Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gav and Chris were quite frustrated with the result on Sunday but they managed to sit down and relive it all for a giggle, weaving a few of your points, questions and three word reviews throughout.. and aye just generally being themselves. What's the crack? Gav bans his mate from attending any future home fixtures; How can we dominate like that and yet lose, and why does it feel so Sunlun? The positives: Dan Neil and Jobe Bellingham to name a couple; how good is young Jobe, was taking him off a mistake? Just how exceptional a player is Dan Neil going to be? He's already a PL midfielder in our opinion.Do we play better without a striker? It would appear so currently, but can that change? Aye you might've noticed this was actually recorded in the immediate aftermath of the game so Gav and Chris got stuck into the immediate fan reaction and many of our listener opinions; All this and more! Back Thursday with a nice shiny new preview for our upcoming game against Wednesday on Friday. Aye.Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFLChampionship #EFL Hosted on Acast.

CLARKE, CLARKE WILL TEAR YOU APART, AGAIN! What a match that was man. After picking themselves up off the floor our Gav and Chris sat back down to pick apart another three points on the road, try to put into words what we just witnessed and somehow preview our upcoming home fixture against Cardiff City on Sunday! (Cheers for the title idea @Rachaelthex91) What's the crack? JACK THE LAD! He's only gone and done it again hasn't he the absolutely gorgeous b*stard. The EFL Championship's current top scorer is on fire! DAN NEIL STRIKES BACK! Absolute stunner from our young midfield maestro to get us back in front; Has he been underrated so far this season? Luke O'Nien plays where he wants; some insanity at the back but the Lads got it done any way they possibly could. Hopefully not too a serious knock for Dan Ballard? Pure unadulterated chaos; Are we all ok after that? Everyone got their sedatives aye? Maybe some warm milk or some… valium… Sunderland are now fourth in the league and our main "senior" forward hasn't kicked a ball yet. Not bad going really is it for the red and white wizards? Aye. Cardiff at the Stadium of Light on Sunday so how are we feeling ahead of that challenge? Ridiculously confident? Nervous? Bit of both? Gav gets carried away with it all (again), we read out your three word reviews and more! Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
