Wise Men Say

Winner winner, chicken dinner! We can bask in victory for the next fortnight and it feels canny. It's an all WMS affair tonight with Stephen, Gareth, Craig and Rory in the studio.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Take us around the back of the barn and shoot us in the head. No Stephen tonight, but Gareth is joined by WMS regular, Rory Fallow. We also have George Caulkin of The Times and Chris Thompson from A Love Supreme.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Why? What's the point? Just two of the questions we'll answer on tonight's show. We're joined by WMS contributor Gary Foster and The Sunderland Echo's Richard Mennear.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Football is rubbish. We moan about it loads. Rory joins us once more as well as ALS editor, Chris Thompson.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A draw, in a must win game at home to West Brom? NEVER? We should be gutted, we're in trouble. Well, we are a little bit, but it's not often we have anything positive to talk about and a late equalizer produces that for us. Ha'way let's keep going until we lose at Stoke and West Ham at least?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Rubbish, innit? We have a right good moan about that garbage on Saturday against Palace. Stephen and Gareth are joined by WMS regular Rory Fallow and The Chronicle's James Hunter.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Gareth is off holidaying in Portugal so Stephen Goldsmith and Rory Fallow were joined by former fanzine editor Tom Lynn and Roker Report maestro Gavin Henderson to discuss the awfulness we're all going through at present. Am I selling this to you? These ones are normally the best to be honest. Listen in.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sunderland did that thing where they were rubbish again. Another capitulation raises plenty of questions and they'll be discussed by freelancer Graeme Anderson and The Roker Report's Michael Bowers.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Frustratingly, Sunderland continued their run of not winning in August since 2010. Still though, it was a canny performance by the lads at Southampton and it should have yielded three points. This week we've got WMS regulars Gary Spalding and Rory fallow joining Gareth Barker and Roker Report's Gavin Henderson making his podcast debut.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I’m sure we’ve been here before. Any hope or optimism amongst the Sunderland support seems to have evaporated within record time this year, so we have a big old whinge about the home defeat to Middlesbrough. In the studio we have ALS editor Chris Thompson and WMS regulars Rory Fallow and Craig Clark.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A defeat at City was disappointing, but the performance was canny. We discuss the game with The Evening Chronicle's James Hunter and Athletico Mince's Andy Dawson.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're back with a very special live show. Recorded live at Southwark Brewery, London on July 30th, we preview Sunderland's upcoming campaign with the help of Guardian journalist and podcaster, Barry Glendenning. It was a fantastic evening and it couldn't have happened if it wasn't for the guys at the brewery, the people that bought the tickets and listeners at home. This recording is courtesy of Richard Shaw and his crew. Richard is a London based fan and got in touch with us asking if he could record it. You've got him to thank for this, as do we! In the first half we discussed...erm. Can't remember. Soz. What do they put in the booze down there? The second half gets a touch rowdy, but this was essentially a piss up in a brewery. What could possibly have gone wrong?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We're staying up, they're going down, we're staying up, they're going down... Join us for the final WMS of the season. Regulars Craig Clark and Rory Fallow get amongst it. Happy times.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It was a frustrating encounter at The Brittania, but we managed to get out with a point. Unfortunately we're back in the bottom three and we're going to need to see an improved performance in the coming weeks if we're to survive. It's still in our hands. In the studio this week we've got WMS regular Rory Fallow.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Another pretty good performance saw The Lads get a point against Arsenal. The KKK excelled once more. Would it be greedy of us to be disappointed we didn't pick up all three points? We're out the relegation zone though, so that's canny. In the studio this week we've got ALS stalwart Paul 'Sobs' Dobson and WMS regulars Craig Clark and Rory Fallow.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Well, well, well. The lads only went and won at Carrow Road, knowing a defeat would have almost certainly consigned them to relegation. Stephen Goldsmith is joined by the Sunderland Echo's Chris Young and Rory Fallow to talk about it.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Defeat to Leicester. A frustrating game. A miss of the season contender from Rodwell. If we don't win next week then we're probably cooked. Joining us to discuss our latest disappointment is the Evening Chronicle's James Hunter and WMS regular Rory Fallow.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There's a pattern emerging. It involves Sunderland playing well enough to win and then not winning. It's annoying, isn't it? The pressure is on now but do we believe we can still stay up? Joining us is former Sunderland Echo writer and freelance journalist Graeme Anderson.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Nine derbies undefeated and another good performance, unfortunately we couldn't hang on. Should we have been hanging on? A draw not the worst result in the world, but we're back in the bottom three. We'll talk about all that kind of stuff and more. This week we're joined by WMS regular Rory Fallow.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Gutted. We might have just got over Saturday and now we all get to relive it. Great stuff. We're joined by The Sunderland Echo's Chris Young and WMS regular, Rory Fallow.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
