The Wise Men Say podcast, in association with ALS – 2017/18 – Episode 11

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'. The next two home games could be make or break for Simon Grayson. Where's your money? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
