So here we are again, waiting for a game one of us cares about more than the other and trying to explain what it is about Sunderland facing Boro that makes it less a derby and more an annoyance. Like Coventry with Parmos?

Roker Rapport Podcast: The Great Big Sunderland International Break De-Brief!
Aye after a short but some might say blessed period where their editor lost his hearing and everyone lost their shit (it was peaceful my end at least) the lads returned to talk about how much they hate these breaks, before sort of contradicting themselves a bit whilst trying to look back on the last few fixtures with a little bit of perspective and of course ahead to December.
Roker Rapport Podcast: "One point forward, two points back" - QPR Review & Pondering Preston!

Roker Rapport Podcast: “Ban international breaks” — Hull v Sunderland Preview!

Roker Rapport Podcast: "Divots, Divvies and Dennis" — Sunderland AFC 2-2 Leeds chat!
