Our Stars in Stripes and Maple Syrup

Shaun Belland - Preston North End

The poor start to the season goes as we fall to defeat against a very average looking Preston North End side. So what better way to go on than to drag a brand new American support for the lads to share the misery that is the start of the season. Who is to blame for the season's poor start? Ownership for not signing a striker, manager for not starting our only healthy striker or is it down to the players for not performing to their ability? We'll talk about this and more today.

Sean Coxon - Season 3 Preview

Hot on the heels of the tour of the USA and the rest of the friendlies we are back with a new season preview. Will we sign a striker, can Sean tell his arse from his elbow, where will we finish and what does progress on the field look like.

Chris Hurst - Ipswich

It's a new season at the Stadium of Light, after a positive pre-season in the USA and an encouraging result against against top flight Spanish opposition expectations were almost high going into the game. Unfortunately being Sunderland that wasn't to be and Ipswich went back with three points in their webbed fingers. I sat down with Albuquerque resident and co-commentator for New Mexico United Chris Hurst to talk about the game, life in America and all things Sunderland as they stand.

Anthony Stephenson - PNE

The last day of the season doesn't get much crazier than this. All hopes are gone at half time, then before you know it we are in with a shout and then... in typical Sunderland style we make the play-offs. So I sat down with Wyoming resident and returning guest Anthony Stephenson to go over what was an absolutely manic day. Still sitting here wondering how we managed it after the Watford game. Sit back and enjoy (if you can) as we look at the game and the play-offs against Luton Town and who knows who else.

Sean Coxon - West Brom

Warning... Language gets a bit salty... Well this team never ceases to amaze me, and so here we are still in the hunt for a play-off berth with just two games to go. Podcast regular Sean Coxon joins me again as we discuss an absolutely first class performance by the lads combined with the worry and excitement for what could lie in store for the rest of the season. Sit back and enjoy and please don't mind the swearing!
