What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Wise Men Say consitently delivers excellent insight into all things SAFC. No matter the quality of performance on the pitch, Stephen, Gareth, Rory, Craig and more always deliever excellent opinions and analysis. As a Sunderland fan in the USA it really helps me stay connected with the club I love!

Dawson Pies · Mar 2017

Being a Sunderland fan in a city where less than 1% of the people follow (real) football AND know anything about the black cats would be very lonely and dull without Stephen and Gareth. - Constant NYC listener.

But this is not “just a podcast”. Must listen to for SAFC fans that aren’t local. I’ve been enjoying these from the states for a couple years. It’s honest, funny and insightful on how the local fans feel about the club on and off the pitch. Keep up the good work lads.
