PART TWO | NEW POD 25/26 OBSERVATIONS, THOUGHTS AND REFLECTIONS Listen now: wisemensay.co.uk/part-two-25-...

@wisemensay.co.uk hey boys n girls meant to say this last weekend but forgot. A big thanks for the listens throughout the season. Always appreciated. A special mention to Eleanor for her comments about the season being for all those who left us recently. It meant a lot to me & im sure many others

Good this! From Stateside, what Goldy said about coverage of Wise Men Say rang true. Last time in the PL, NBC would never show the SOL singing. Now it’s treated very much like You’ll Never Walk Alone, the announcers are quiet and the viewers get a sense of the atmosphere. Very much “our” tradition.

Some reflections on Sunderland's seventh-place season, an £11m Sunday and what comes next, Europe. www.nytimes.com/athletic/731...

Must admit to getting close to tears at multiple points. Really well edited and heard a few things I had missed last time around. Great stuff.

I might save this podcast and bring it out in the future when I’m having a shit day. #safc

What a pod, walking the dogs with tears of joy in my eyes. Crazy time. What a journey.

Great pod had my hairs standing on end all the way through

Listened to this on my cycle to work, beaming and grinning like a goon the whole way. What a truly insane month that was. I have never seen scenes like it #safc

Hey #SAFC lot - @Phil__Smith is joining us on the pod, any questions/opinions for us?

Been expecting something like that all season just not against Forest at home!! Wolves away great chance to bounce back, but 9 goals against in 2 games is a worry going forward
