Merry Christmas from Dan Ballard and Jobe! Another comeback win for the Lads has us sitting nicely in fourth just as Santy Claus gets set to arrive.

A 2-1 win over Norwich City has us feeling all a little giddy, and perhaps a little drunk, but join us as myself, Pete and Dave run over another big win at the SOL that rounds of our 2024 home fixtures nicely.

With a hectic Christmas schedule to come, the Lads welcome Norwich City for one of their final Saturday 3pm kick-offs of the year.

The Canaries have dipped between good and bad form, but head to the Stadium of Light on a run of three games without a win. So what can we expect from Norwich this weekend? Podcast debutant Freddie Humphry-Wakefield from MyFootballWriter - Norwich City joins me to give us the lowdown.

What a result and what a comeback from the Lads. From 2-0 down to 3-2 up, Sunderland went third in the EFL Championship with a character building win in Wales.

We have a full house joining us for the review show as Dave, Ross, Brad and the Sunderland Echo's James Copley joined me to go through a wonderful weekend at the Swansea.com Stadium.

The Lads are off the Wales this week as we look to shake off an underwhelming 1-1 draw at home to Bristol City and try to put a winning run together again.

Swansea aren't doing too bad themselves though, and sit just outside the playoff spots after an impressive 2-1 win at Plymouth Argyle in midweek.

But what has changed at Swansea since the appointment of Luke Williams last January? Returning guest Luke from the SwansCast joins me to give us the lowdown on our weekend opponents.

A WIN! It feels like it has been a while since we said that, hasn't it?

Tommy Watson defied the horrendous weather to ensure the sun was shining brightly at the SOL as Sunderland downed Stoke City on Wearside thanks to his well deserved brace.

Come on and join us as we wax lyrical about yet another quality young Mackem lad that appears destined to play his role as the season progresses. Gerrin!

An encouraging performance at Sheffield United yielded zero points, and we now approach the game with Stoke City this weekend on a run of six games without a win. So this weekend is crucial.

The Potters have had a knack of pulling out the odd result against us over the last few years, but how likely are they to do that this week? To let us know what to expect, Dave from the excellent Wizards Of Drivel joins us to preview the weekend's game.

A strong display at Bramall Lane counted for nothing as a missed penalty from Patrick Roberts and a late Sheffield United goal saw Sunderland hit six games without a win in the race for automatic promotion.

It was a tough one to take, and it didn't come with incident or talking points, so Dave and Pete joined me to go through the 1-0 loss that has put a dampener on our weekends.

The run of draws has been frustrating to say the least, but ahead of a massive game at Bramall Lane, ensuring we remain unbeaten is a must.

Just two points separate the teams in the table, and a Sheffield United win is something Sunderland must not allow to happen. Can we do it, and what can we expect?

To let us know, the absolutely superb Oli from The Sheffield United away joins me to chat through this weeks' game.

A midweek clash under the SOL lights, complete with our new foghorn and disco show? Go on then,  we'll take it - and three points please.

Draw specialists West Brom are up next, and as we try to shake a run of draws of our own, we are thankfully able to welcome back a load of players from suspension - but will we be undone by in-form former Sunderland man Josh Maja? And why is Callum Styles still in the Championship?

The always super fun Chris Hall from AlbionAnalysis joins us to give the lowdown on the Baggies ahead of the vital clash on Wearside.
