WTF Sunderland Podcast

After a 53 year wait, European football is finally back on Wearside as we welcome Eredivisie side AZ Alkmaar to the Stadium of Light this Wednesday.

There's plenty to look forward to from a Sunderland perspective, but what can we expect from our table topping opponents after their fine start to the season? To help us preview the game, Graham is joined by Dutch journalist, and AZ fan, Brian Wijker to discuss our opening Europa League clash.

The biggest challenge of the season awaits as we welcome to reigning champions, Arsenal, to the SOL for a night under the lights.

#BrentfordFC #SAFC #EPL

The Lads return to London for the first time this season as we face a Brentford side that continue to impress both at home, and on the road.

Last season, we narrowly edged them out of Europe, and this year Keith Andrews' side return determined to go one better. Can we stop them in their tracks and be the first team to inflict defeat on them this season? To let us know, Ross Black is joined by the excellent Craig from The Ealing Road Podcast.

Three points secured, and a day well spent. The Lads edged over the line thanks to Wilson Isidor, and topped a cracking day for us all.

Alex, Pete, Soph, Ross and Ian join live from a Glasgow AirBNB to go through a big three points on Wearside.

#SAFC #FulhamFC #EPL

Sunderland's Europa League fixtures have been drawn, with the Lads handed some mouthwatering trips to Milan, Brussels, Poznan and the Algarve. Could it have gone much better?

Graham and Dave discuss our feelings on the draw, why it matters and what we are most looking forward to in Europe this season.

#SAFC #EPL #UEL #EuropaLeague

The Lads are back in action on Wearside as we open our home campaign with a clash against the only team to beat us twice last season in the shape of Fulham.

After last week's opening day defeat, Sunderland will want to get points on the board to kick-off our new campaign, and what better way to do it then in front of the Stadium of Light crowd?

But what of our weekend opponents? They also started the season with a defeat, losing 3-2 to Chelsea on Monday. Under new management, what has changed at Craven Cottage over the summer? To let us know, the always excellent Jack Collins from the Fulhamish Podcast joins us once again.

Not the start any of us anticipated for the Lads as we go lost at Portman Road on opener. Are we panicking, or calm? I guess we're not sure.

Of course it was Jack Clarke who came back to haunt us, but there was far than that to be concerned about. Dave, Graham, Pete, Kyle and Ian join together to chat through a messy performance on Saturday.
