Wise Men Say

Four wins in the last seven games and Sunderland are on the brink of safety at Christmas. Who would have thought that would be the case after ten games played? Who would have thought Papy Djilobodji and Donald Love would be imperious during our 1-0 against Watford? A welcome pre-Christmas treat, I'm sure you'd all agree.It's an all WMS affair tonight with Rory Fallow and Gary Foster joining Gareth and Stephen in the studio. Hosted on Acast.

Back down to earth with a bump. Just when you think we might be getting somewhere we go and do what we do. Typical Sunderland. Gareth, Stephen and Rory are joined in the studio by Frankie from Frankie and the Heartstrings. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Three wins in four for the lads in red and white and there's a bit of a buzz about the place. We're joined by Damian Spellman of the Press Association to chew the fat over Sunderland's latest success. Get the rave on! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A defeat to Liverpool - not really that surprising. What would have been surprising a few weeks back is that spirits are quite high on Wearside. What a difference it can make when your side looks like they have a plan... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We love winning now. Sunderland's Champion's League surge continued with a convincing 3-0 home victory over Hull City. We discuss the game with WMS regular Rory Fallow and ALS stalwart Paul 'Sobs' Dobson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The WMS team travelled to Manchester for a special live show during the international break. Gary Bennett and Nick Barnes joined Stephen and Gareth on stage. Just like in London earlier in the year, drink had been taken. Content probably gets progressively more alcohol affected as the night goes on, so sorry about that! Hosted on Acast.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Football is rubbish. We moan about it loads. Rory joins us once more as well as ALS editor, Chris Thompson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more 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? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more 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? Hosted on Acast.

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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more 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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
