After a decent performance against Manchester City, we managed to get ourselves a draw at Anfield. Somehow. We'll discuss the result, Billy Jones, hear from Sam, probably talk about Billy Jones some more. Listen in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
A draw against Bournemouth wasn't want we wanted, let's be honest. Yet half an hour into the game, even that looked way beyond us. There's been a lot made of Sam's comments on respecting the point has thrown up quite a debate. We'll hear him make that comment and debate ourselves on it. Hosted on Acast.

In what is a bit of a bonus episode, we discuss the much needed win against Aston Villa. We've had many false dawns with the lads over recent years, so beating a side somehow worse than us isn't enough to fool us. Or is it? Maybe the team should be cut some slack. Or should they?Listen, eh, and find out. Goldy is with WMS lads Craig Clark and Rory Fallow. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In what is the last WMS of 2015 (ITL is still going, so don't worry) we discuss the predictable turn around by a Mourinho-less Chelsea. What makes the whole thing even less bearable (if that's possible) is the sudden form of sides around us. Bastards. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Alright, well if last week we were positive after defeat, this week gives a different feel. While the first 20 minutes were shocking - we were certainly *alright* after that. It's not enough though, is it? Or is it? Have Newcastle and Bournemouth suddenly turned into Bayern Munich or will they revert back to being rubbish so that we can continue to be rubbish and get away with it?Tom Lynne makes a WMS return and is joined by our own Gary Spalding. James Hunter off the Chronicle makes his hundred...

We've also got WMS new boy Rory Fallow lending a voice, as well as Roker Report contributor Graeme Atkinson. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Was that the worst game of football seen at the Stadium of Light in recent times?

It's never boring, but it's often depressing. WMS regulars Rory Fallow and Gary Foster and the Sunderland Echo's Chris Young try to pick the bones out of a bizarre game at Goodison Park. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In the summer of 2014 we needed to fill for a show we were doing for a local radio station. Craig and Gareth came up with this. Alan Pardew and Steve Bruce living in a flat together, searching for a roomy. It's average. But Craig and 13 other people wanted us to put it up online. So here they are. All 6 episodes, back to back. Cringe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A point at Villa gives Sunderland a bit of hope after a dreadful start. We go into the international break with a new addition, some lad from Liverpool. We'll talk about all of that stuff with bearded monstrosity Craig Clark and freelance journalist Gary Foster. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Better, Clive. Sunderland showed the graft against Swansea that they should be exhibiting every week and we got a well deserved point.
