A trip to Burton always seems to be the subject of a joke when any side is relegated from the Premier League, "enjoy your trip to Burton" and all that. Well, they are above us in the league along with every other side so there's only one way we are going to enjoy this trip and that's to get something. Nay, get a win.
Stephen, Gareth and Rory chat about the aforementioned game and the loss to Villa. Plus there's still a lot of Coleman love in the studio.
We've got a new manager, and it's probably someone a little bit better than we thought we'd get. Chris Coleman is the latest in a long line of Sunderland managers, can he finally turn things around?
We also discuss the Millwall game, reflecting on what was a battle of the goalkeepers. But which one was worse? It would be funny if it wasn't all so tragic.
It's over two weeks since the departure of Simon Grayson and still no new manager in sight. We don't appear to be any closer to a decision today either. Not ideal preparation the visit of. Millwall, which we need to win in order to avoid a record breaking 20th consecutive winless home game.

Was Saturday's display at Brentford the most 'Sunderlandy' of the season. The raw from the away terrace that propelled the players into the dressing room at half time was replaced at full time with boos, calls for the manager to go and chants of 'you're not fit to wear the shirt'.

Stephen, Gareth and Rory are joined by former Wearside Roar editor, amongst other things, Tom Lynn. We pick the bones out of a bizarre Sunderland performance in which we played quite well and did two of those goal things that other people keep banging on about. Too little too late?

It was all too little, too late. A canny performance, but it probably dug up more questions than answers for David Moyes. Stephen is back and joins Gareth, Rory and Michael Lough in an all WMS affair.

We're getting to the stage where the undertaker is going to have to replace the coffin, such is the residual damage from the constant hammering of nails in the aforementioned casket of relegationy goodness. Sunderland seemed to be there in body and not in spirit as they limped to a 0-3 home reverse to Manchester United. Is there anything good about us at the moment? We're all scratching our heads. No Stephen this week, so Gareth is joined by WMS contributors Rory Fallow and Richard Easterbrook as well as local celeb and all round top bloke, Frankie Francis.

Would another manager have got more out of this group of players than 20 points? It's Wilkinson/McCarthy-esque and some of the Wise Men Say team have utterly and completely lost faith in David Moyes.

What a dire game and what a dire result. An increasingly frustrated fan bas and with a manager under no real pressure, there's a lot of beef flying about. British beef, of course. Stephen, Gareth and Rory are joined my ALS Fanzine's Chris Thompson and The Evening Chronicle's James Hunter.

Well, wasn't that the most Sunderland thing in the world to do?We shouldn't even be surprised that we followed up a 4-0 win with a 4-0 loss, knowing that a win would have taken us outside the relegation zone.And we aren't. No Gareth this week, so Stephen, Rory and Craig talked about the game, the squad and the New York trip. The club's New York trip that is. We aren't at the level to be touring to New York ourselves. Yet...

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?

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?
