RRP: “#Justice4Wilson Redux” - Our missing Burnley 0-0 Sunderland Reaction!

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 Isidor has fully embraced Sunderland since arriving and some people can make right ****s of themselves; 


  • Enzo Le Fee's debut - what did the lads make of his performance? 


  • How did we view the game generally before preparing to take on Derby? Did the lads get their predictions right? Did we mention how mint Wilson is enough? Good. 


  • Aye as we said, this is basically just catching up. For new current chatter about… Wilson Isidor… you'll find our Derby reaction just above this episode, complete with rage at the injustice of it all! 


  • Ha'way the Lads!

  • RRP: “Routines and Regis” - Sunderland 2-0 Luton Review and a look ahead to Leeds away!

    41:01|
    Join Gav and Chris as they look back at a professional performance from Sunderland at the SoL against Luton and look forward to an exciting yet daunting trip to Elland Road to take on Leeds United! What's the crack? A routine win for Sunderland - it was much needed after a tough few games at home recently;How good were Enzo Le Fee and Dan Neil? The difference in Luton is remarkable - are they headed to League One? Leeds are the most in-form team in the country and have kept eight consecutive clean sheets - so naturally, we're confident of going there and getting something... The big decision for Le Bris is who plays at centre half at Elland Road;We'd snap your arm off for a point now... would you?All this and more! Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship
  • RRP: "ATTACK" - The Sunderland AFC v Luton Town EFL Championship Preview!

    33:57|
    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! What's the crack? Just give the ball to Enzo a bit more. Luton are in an absolute state currently, so how do we use any of this to our advantage without falling victim to.. an act of Sunlun? How many changes do the lads think Reg should make from the side that started on Saturday, and is he likely to make many anyway? Are we making the most of our attacking options at this stage? Is this a game for Samed or not? Should Mayenda be starting instead of Roberts? Should Rigg be rested? Are we looking at a must-must win or a must win, or a must-not-lose-but-must-not-draw-either-so-just-win? We do need the win aye. All this and more! Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship
  • RRP: "Familiar frustrations" - Sunderland AFC 2-2 Watford Reaction!

    36:10|
    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 catching up with the few above. Then again, it isn't really helping anyone below either. A frustrating day for Wilson and his attacking partners; O'Nien and Cirkin sort of made up for it... PGMOL officials took a break from a month-long coke binge in a brothel on some island in the med to demonstrate yet more sensible, reliable and highly accurate decision making. So how are we feeling ahead of Luton on Wednesday and some key results coming up? Confident? Bricking it aye? Good. All this and more! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship*Rogue missing content from Boro/covering the transfer window will appear after a little bit of surgery. Let's call it damage limitation aye. Not so much 'ghosts in the machine' as 'poltergeists down the pub'.
  • RRP: "The derby that isn't a f***ing derby" - The debate continues - Previewing Middlesbrough v Sunderland AFC!

    38:40|
    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 monkeys alone we'd probably not have this debate at all. Right so it is a big game for other non-derby reasons but only because they're just about up there with us; how have Michael Carrick's men been getting along since we last faced one another? Boro players always take this more seriously than our own, so do we think Reg will have found a way to get our lads to kick that weird habit passed down from generation to generation? Bit of a weird game overall; live on ITV a few hours before Transfer Deadline Day ends... Are we looking forward to that sort of possible mayhem? Are the lads confident given our long history of not getting the result we want down their way and yet again: is this a must win? Are they all must wins? This was recorded just before the announcement of Wilson Isidor signing a permanent deal with SAFC, which we're all delighted about aye, and before more strange rumours surrounding Mike Dodds and Wycombe Wanderers but... we'll cover that after Boro in more detail.Gerrin Wilson marra! Falling in love with a loan player has rarely ended so well. Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship
  • RRP: "The draw that was a loss" - A very late Sunderland AFC 2-2 Plymouth Argyle Review!

    48:13|
    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. Just saying aye. What's the crack? The lads weren't exactly apoplectic after the result at the Stadium of Light against a Plymouth fresh from a mauling, but they weren't exactly delighted either... The team selection was a little confusing; what did the lads make of Le Bris setting us up how he did? Was Samed the right choice for that match? Chris suggests that Dan Neil should do what Dan Neil does best. WILSON GOT A GOAL; Bless the lad he bloody well deserved one. Defensive daftness; was Patto at fault for either of Plymouth's goals or was it a collective failure? This leads the lads back into a familiar discussion about the future of our young number one. We're still in a good place despite two points dropped but does that mean Boro is another must win? Apologies for the lateness. It was unfortunately a matter of life and death. Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship
  • RRP: “The Wilson goal that wasn’t that was” - The Derby County 0-1 Sunderland Reaction & Plymouth (H)

    30:35|
    So where were we? Oh aye that was it, Gav and Martin return after our win over Derby County and yet another injustice for our boy Wilson, this time at the hands of a mystery match official. They even squeeze a few minutes in about our upcoming fixture against Plymouth on Saturday! What's the crack? Well. Speaking of crack, the match officials seem to be smoking a fair bit if decision making is anything to go by; The lads discuss the goal that should've stood, but didn't. Will PGMOL actually let poor Isidor score on Saturday or is this going to be a regular thing? What did we make of our overall performance against Derby; Did Enzo continue to impress? How are the lads feeling about our chances this season now we have lads returning from injury and new signings settling? We'll be looking to take all the points tomorrow, but are Plymouth capable of causing us problems in their current wounded state? All this and more! Ha'way the Lads! #EFL #EFLChampionship #SAFC 
  • RRP: "The Friday Night Lights" - Previewing Burnley v Sunderland & a bit SAFC transfer rumour chat!

    36:30|
    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. Gav and Chris explain all this and give their thoughts on Connolly leaving SAFC - and Tom Cannon possibly coming in - as they look ahead to Burnley away live on Sky under the Friday night lights. What's the crack? SO IS IT MASSIVE OR ISN'T IT? It's pretty big I'd say, but I would say that. Seriously though, how do the lads feel ahead of our return to league action? Our Chris Wynn breaks from another trip down ye olde memory lane with some sobering and of course absolutely properly thoroughly researched tactical analysis of our opponents; It turns out they're pretty good at not conceding. So we need to score at least one more than them. We've cracked it again aye. Good Luck Aaron; It looks like Connolly is off to Millwall after a brief stay with us and we wish him all the best! What's this about Tom Cannon? This will all likely change rapidly but it seems we're looking at a deal to bring the 22 year old Leicester City forward to Sunderland that would become a permanent move should we achieve promotion to the Premier League. So what do we make of it all, as of the time of recording? How do we think Regis Le Bris will approach this? Will he be tempted to go for it and try catch them, do they offer teams many opportunities to catch them really? Will Enzo get a chance this soon? All this and more! Ha'way the Lads! #SAFC #EFL #EFLChampionship #SkyBetChampionship
  • RRP: "Oh no, anyway..." - Some Sunderland 1-2 Stoke FA Cup Exit Reaction & Enzo unveiled!

    30:13|
    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'd rather focus on the league? We don't think so. Aleksic got a goal for his troubles which only a few of us will remember admittedly but who else stood out? Did any of our young lads impress? A bad day for Dan Neil in particular, which is rare nowadays, but did he really need to be on the pitch? Enzo Le Fee got a nice reveal at a fairly empty and freezing Stadium after the announcement the night before the game; it looks like we may need a few other faces though. Aji Alese went down and had to be stretchered off the pitch in considerable pain; it's not looking great for the lad and we're gutted for him, so what do we do in the meantime? Last of the summer Wynn; Chris gets wistful and nostalgic about the magic of the FA Cup again but he has good reason to. It's just not the competition it was... All this more! Burnley next! Ha'way the Lads! #EFL #EFLChampionship #SAFC
