Tony Mowbray was relieved of his duties by Sunderland AFC very late last night (just a few hours ago aye) so our Gav and Martin convened an emergency recording session to give their initial thoughts on the news! What's the crack? "Argh ye killed me other pod, man" and other tales.Was it the right call to axe Tony? Was the writing on the wall after his post-match comments?Do you think we’ve got anyone lined up? A European maybe? A bald Austrian or something? What do we make of what Speakman & KLD had to say? Where do things go from here? Besides of course waiting for the new coach to be announced so we can record another podcast. Just... Aye. Good morning btw.#SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship #TonyMowbray Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Aye it looks as though we've been quiet but unfortunately for you all it was merely preparation for an extremely busy month for ourselves and the Lads... Our Gavin Henderson sat down with Martin Wanless to talk about the last couple defeats at the hands of Plymouth and that Huddersfield horror show and try to work out why we're in the situation we are. What's the crack? If the 2-0 loss to Plymouth wasn't enough misery for one week we were treated to an absolute feast of terrible football on Wednesday night as we lost at home to Huddersfield Town; Safe to say it's not gone down well. What exactly is Tony doing? Without Clarke taking games by the scruff we look pretty toothless for all our possession; What should we (or Mogga in this case) be doing to solve this pretty significant issue? He may have just got a contract extension but does Patrick Roberts deserve to start at the moment? Just how much of a impact has losing our ability to field "proper" full backs to cover full back duties had on our ability to play our natural game? The Lads look back over the last 8 games or so and try to analyse our results, are we actually at risk yet? How many chances will Mowbray get before KLD and Speakman decide to change things up? We know moods can change fast with a few good results but are we confident we can get those results in this run? Looking forward to Millwall then? All this catharsis and more! Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Gav halts his weekend bender (temporarily) to chat with our Chris Wynn about Sunderland's 3-1 victory over old Wayne Rooney's Birmingham City at the Stadium of Light this afternoon! What's the crack?That's a lovely way to enter an international break isn't it? How we all feeling after that? Huggins is the boy; after an injury to Cirkin in the warm-up brought in another of our less experienced lads in Nectar Triantis, Niall managed to not only be exactly where he was needed at the back, but also made a brilliant run to help secure all three points.Clarke's class and Jobe's job done; great performances from both but Roberts seemed to struggle after a dodgy challenge and then card from another terrible referee. Some interesting subs from Mowbray paid off in the end as the Lads settled into a good rhythm in the second half despite losing a well performing Rusyn up top; Adil showed his class once again and got a goal for his troubles and Mayenda - who looks like some player - attempted to decapitate John Ruddy for a laugh. Was that a weird game to try and review? The lads try work out where exactly they stand and Gav remembers to slip in your three word reviews! Poor Wayne continues to look like he's not got a clue why he's in football management; good luck to Birmingham for the remainder of this season. All this and more! Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chris and Gav (they swapped sides of the table for this one) take a look as Tony Mowbray welcomes Wayne Rooney's Birmingham City circus to the Stadium of Light before another unwanted International break stops all meaningful football for a couple of weeks. What's the crack? How are we feeling ahead of not just the Birmingham match itself, but the dreaded international break that follows? So Wayne and friends; how are things going as the former granny sha… I mean England talisman.. tries to settle into his role at St Andrews? How shite are Birmingham generally (no offence to Birmingham fans of course) and why have they been stuck to the lower end of the Championship for this long? We've lost our primary defensive partnership for the game but are we too concerned over it? How do the lads think Tony will approach this issue? How should we be approaching this side? Do the lads think we'll get another Norwich performance or could we make things more difficult for ourselves given it's a home game? All this and more! Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The lads took a look at our trip to Wales over the weekend - as Sunderland managed to take just a point from ten man Swansea City thanks to the penalty saving exploits of a certain Anthony Patterson - as well as taking some time to ponder Tony Mowbray's comments about his young strikers. What's the crack? How are the lads feeling after that result? Bit frustrated? Did the red card for Swansea's Arsenal loanee Charlie Patino actually work against us? Patto Lad; Another clean sheet and a penalty save to spare a few Sunlun blushes! Tony isn't happy with Luke O'Nien or Dan Ballard as both pick up yellows to rule them out of our Birmingham fixture. Was he right to read them the riot act? Mowbray also went after his strikers following on from some interesting comments about Hemir days before the match; what do the lads make of all that? If one of our shots had actually gone in, would anyone be complaining about the quality of football we witnessed or the odd subs? Chris is feeling pretty relaxed about it all. All this and more! Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

WE WON THE FOOTY AGAIN AND EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL! Aye our Gav and Chris reconvened to wax lyrical once more about the joys of comfortably winning matches as Sunderland beat a terrible Norwich side over the weekend; Jack Clarke got back to tearing things apart, Dan Neil just keeps getting better and even Trai sort of got back on the scoresheet with an absolutely intentional strike/cross because why the f*** not eh? What's the crack? PGMOL are still on a warning, but even they couldn't stop the Lads on Saturday; So how are we feeling after all that? Jack Clarke and Dan Neil may just be two of the very best players in the division but try keep that to yourselves aye; the lads try to convince everyone they should stick around Sunlun for a while longer. What a goal man. Just aye. Still got it on repeat. GO WATCH THE GOAL AGAIN! A brilliant performance from all the lads; besides the aforementioned not-so-secret weapons, who really stood out for us and how confident are we heading into the Swansea game this weekend? Play to the whistle Pierre; Was that offside? Should Ekwah be paying any attention to the linesman anyway? There's been a mixed reaction to Rusyn's first start; what did the lads make of what he brought to the side? Is he a better option in that position than who we've seen so far? Ah there's all kinds going on, from your three word reviews to Gav getting a couple goes at predicting the last result until he got it right to just pointing out how shite Norwich were. Should probably give it a listen and we'll be back midweek. HA'WAY THE LADS! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
