No we did not in fact go all out as suggested and lost to a pretty determined Hull City after Patto had.. a moment.. resulting in our first loss in the league at home this season, and likely the end to any hope of automatics without assistance from the rest of the division. What's the crack? Aye that was shite. The mistake was shite and the respons…

We'll be playing Hull in about 24 hours so jump in with our Gav and Martin to hear them repeatedly tell Regis Le Bris to just go for it. Over and over again aye. What's the crack? Sheffield or Burnley could slip up so we need to keep up, that's the message in a nutshell here lads and lasses. Martin thinks we should maybe just.. go for it aye. What …

Argh did we have to? We didn't want to. The Lads tried their best to pull themselves together following a heartbreaking end to the game at Elland Road, chatting all about how close Sunderland were to getting a very good result against Leeds… What's the crack? Drama. Heartbreak. Torture. Sadness. This is Sunderland - would you expect anything else? …

Gav returns with Martin to quickly preview the Hatters visit to the Stadium of Light on Wednesday night, trying to work out what Regis Le Bris should be looking to do to ensure all three points!

Gav Henderson and Chris Wynn return to react to either another failure to get all three points at home or a successful defence of our home record, depending if your glass is half empty or full. What's the crack? So is that a negative or a positive? Feels a bit like a negative aye. Four points from six ain't bad; but it's not helping any hopes of ca…

So here we are again, waiting for a game one of us cares about more than the other and trying to explain what it is about Sunderland facing Boro that makes it less a derby and more an annoyance. Like Coventry with Parmos? What's the crack? *It's not a derby debate klaxon* Seriously it isn't. If Hartlepool got their arses in gear and left the monkey…

If you don't fancy listening to our Chris Wynn detailing his frustrations with our last fixture while our Gavin Henderson tries to look back without anger, you can skip straight to the next one.

A slightly abridged version of the missing reaction to Burnley here if anyone is desperate to hear Gav and Martin defend our Wilson Isidor and.. praise Wilson Isidor and.. mention at least one other player following that decent point away last weekend. What's the crack? Aye you guessed it. It's the penalties. They talk about the penalties. Wilson I…

Big game coming up lads and lasses. It's absolutely massive, git huge, humongous actually but... it's not a must win; it's a 'be really nice to win this hew' type match aye.

So it turns out Reg didn't really give a shit, and neither would we if we hadn't gone and lost Aji Alese to injury. So what positives can Gav and Chris take from that forgettable fixture? What's the crack? Aye we lost it's terrible and very sad we're obviously devastated... but fear not, it's not a league game so it doesn't count. Is it bad that we…

Aye we've been gone a month, it's complicated. Back to business though, our Gav and Chris return just in time to welcome and chat about Enzo Le (pretty hefty) Fee as he undergoes his medical at the club to reunite with former boss Regis Le Bris, as well as look back on some FA Cup third round excitement of ye olde days and try not to talk about the…

Let's be honest it could've easily been 5 or 6 for young Tommy Watson but our Jack Clarke regen decided to let Stoke off a little bit on Saturday by scoring just the two of his first senior goals for the club. Maybe he's saving some for our visitors on Tuesday night? What's the crack? We won a game for the first time in what feels like forever, so …

Join Gav and Chris as they got together on the full time whistle after a long old game to try and dissect another Sunderland draw at Millwall - where do things stand as we head into the West Brom game on Tuesday? What's the crack? Another draw aye; we'd probably have taken it before the game, just not in those circumstances… Tired legs and tired mi…

Aye after a short but some might say blessed period where their editor lost his hearing and everyone lost their shit (it was peaceful my end at least) the lads returned to talk about how much they hate these breaks, before sort of contradicting themselves a bit whilst trying to look back on the last few fixtures with a little bit of perspective and…

The Lads ground a point away from home against a physical but ultimately toothless QPR as we saw Jobe Bellingham given a straight red and Sunderland fail to score for the first time this season! What's the crack? Still top, just the three points separates us from Leeds but Régis Le Bris has a challenge on his hands and there's a distinct possibilit…

Our Gav and Martin return to talk all about the win over Oxford and what the last three wins might mean for the club, look at our match tomorrow against QPR at Loftus Road and basically just... praise these lads. Endless praise aye. What's the crack? How good have we been since returning from the international break? We remain FIVE POINTS CLEAR at …

Also stopping to preview (sort of) our trip to Kenilworth Road as we face Luton on Wednesday night! What's the crack? Aye it's a quick one and Gav a…

Why wait until late Saturday night you ask? Well why get us to play on Sunday at 3pm? Nobody really knows.

So we lost. Yous wanna fight about it? Come on I’m walking here! Bada bing. But seriously we did lose after Dan Neil lost his mind and brought a lad down for no good reason, so our Gav and Martin sat down to talk about it and lightly preview the upcoming fixture with Derby at the Stadium of Light on Tuesday. What's the crack? Just can't stand losin…

We accidentally went and left ourselves with nothing much to talk about following the win over Boro at the weekend and it looks like we've signed this Aaron Connolly lad who just so happened to play for them, so Gav and Chris return to consider a few things (like Gav's arse in the Binns window) and look ahead to Watford! What's the crack? The last …

Aye we went and won the (not a) derby by a single but absolutely magnificent goal against Boro from our young Chris Rigg in front of the Sky cameras! Gav and Chris jump on quickly to react to it all. What's the crack? Getting Riggy with it; If you do nothing else with your evening just stick that finish on repeat. We're top as we record but possibl…

So we have to talk about them, it'll only go to their heads but our Gav and Martin have done it anyway, looking ahead to this weekends meeting with... some random club from just outside the region... at the Stadium of Light on Saturday. What's the crack? They aren't Newcastle no matter how much they want to be, they aren't what we are to the mags e…

Aye Régis Le Bris finally lost a league game in charge of the mighty Sunlun and the lads were utterly devastated and couldn't talk about it at all. Not really. What's the crack?
