June 26, 2026 Sunlun Players Smashing the WC, Pink Kits and England
Stephen and Jonathan catch up to talk Sunderland, not that there's a lot to catch up on. Pink kits will always divide people. But aren't the lads smashing it over in the World Cup? They discuss that and a little bit about England (and Scotland).

June 23, 2026 Two Years Of Regis Le Bris...
As Sunderland AFC marks two years since appointing Regis Le Bris as head coach, we take a look back at that week in 2024, how we, a French football expert and fans of Le Bris' previous club Lorient reacted to that latest managerial appointment - and what the man himself had to say.

Fair to say some of the opinions have aged terribly, but some have aged like a fine wine!
