OPPO PREVIEW | Hugues Honoré on RC Lens vs Sunderland!
BONJOUR! Tomorrow, Sunderland have two friendlies against RC Lens, and with that in mind we had a chat with Hugues Honoré from Culture Sang et Or Podcast ahead of the games! On today's show... After such a stellar season in which they pushed PSG for the Ligue 1 title and won a domestic trophy, qualifying for the Champions League in the process, what sort of test will RC Lens be for Sunderland? We of course ask about how Arthur Masuaku did last season, and what Lens supporters think of Florent Ghisolfi - who did the same job there between 2019-2022... It's a bit unusual to be playing twice in one day against the same club, so the lads mull over how it might all play out... All this and more!

ROKER REWIND | The Nearly Men | Sunderland Transfers That Almost Happened – But Didn't!
Welcome to another edition of Roker Rewind, and Martin, Chris and Andrew are back with another delve into SAFC archives. We've got a bit of a different take on things today though – because, as the transfer window is (apparently) well and truly open, we're looking at transfers. Specifically, transfers that didn't ever actually end up happening! On today's show... The goalscoring sensation Len Ashurst was close to signing – only for Tom Cowie to refuse to stick his hand deeper into his pocket The global superstar prevented from joining the lads by his country's militery government The Italian legend who shook hands on a deal with Roy Keane - only for the move to break down over a couple of hundred grand And, the world-class striker who Reidy tried to get a couple of times – but couldn't quite get over the line.

Some real positives out of this one, including a cracking team performance in the first hour or so... Nordi Mukiele was brilliant again at right back, which is frustrating as he's also brilliant at centre half! Imagine being that good at foota?! Brobbey, Riggy, Sadiki, Diarra and the rest of the Lads were great, and we give them all a full appraisal! The quality dropped off a bit in the last half an hour, but we still did absolutely fine...

There's plenty going on in the world of Wearside, so join Gav, Chris and Andrew for this week's chinwag about all things Sunderland!
