  • Please buy some second hand decent headphones/mics?

    Good content. Consistently poor production from poor sound, hearing hosts typing, volume changes. Have a quick listen to another podcast and see what they do? Puts it to the bottom of the Safc podcast pile but it shouldn’t be

LIVE Q&A Part 1: What will happen to Dan Neil? Will Dennis Cirkin play? Is Anthony Patterson set to leave?
Q: Is Diarra going to AFKON or can we keep him?
He might be taken for AFKON even if he's not fully fit, but an injury could keep him from going.
LIVE Q&A Part 1: What will happen to Dan Neil? Will Dennis Cirkin play? Is Anthony Patterson set to leave?
Q: Will Dan Neil still be at SAFC by the end of the season?
I personally think that he'll leave for free in the summer, unless something drastically changes soon.
LIVE Q&A Part 1: What will happen to Dan Neil? Will Dennis Cirkin play? Is Anthony Patterson set to leave?
Q: Do any of our players have relegation clauses in contracts?
It would be naïve not to prepare for the worst, so most players are expected to have relegation clauses.
LIVE Q&A Part 1: What will happen to Dan Neil? Will Dennis Cirkin play? Is Anthony Patterson set to leave?
Q: Do we aim for the top 10 or Europe?
It's about getting the 40 points first, then evaluating where we can go from there, maybe aiming for the top half if things go well.
Wolves win reaction – will Régis Le Bris change system for Chelsea?
Q: How do you see Sunderland's chances against Chelsea?
It's a tough test, but Sunderland's solid defensive platform gives them a fighting chance.
