Sunderland are in the Pizza Cup trophy final this weekend, as we aim to add silverware to our trophy cabinet in the shape of the Papa John's Trophy.

• James Vaughan is out - how big of a blow is that for Tranmere?
• We discuss how we'll be watching, and what sort of things we'd be getting up to if we could go.
• Should it be delayed till May, or does Matt think we should just play it now?
• Cup final traditions and where is the perfect distance from Wembley to get the right level of drunk.
& much, much more.

The Lads are up to fourth, five points behind the automatic spots, but with two games in hand...we couldn't, could we?
Yes, things certainly seem rosy on Wearside and out of form Rochdale look like the perfect side (if you're red and white) to face on Saturday.
To preview the game with me and let us know what we have in store is Dean from The @RochdaleAFC.com podcast.
• Rochdale have won 1 in 15 - how bad is it at the moment?
• Is Brian Barry-Murphy on the verge of being sacked, or he is still being backed?
• They played quite well in the reverse fixture - so where did it go wrong?
• Dean used to be a student in Sunderland, so we discuss something we both miss - pubs.
& much, much more.
