Haway The Podcast – Sunderland AFC

Welcome to our latest Q&A pod, and despite it being the close season there’s always tonnes to talk about.

On today’s show, Martin, Andrew and Ant delve into our virtual mailbag, and attempt to answer your questions. Remember if you have a question for our next Q&A episode, email HawayThePodcastSAFC@gmail.com.

This episode was recorded before the news about Xhaka staying broke, so we’ve cut out all of the Xhaka related questions – thanks to everyone who sent them in, and that explains why there’s not much Xhaka talk, bar a tenuous connection between him and Mike Baldwin!

We talk about:

Brian Brobbey – can we keep him?

How might Talbi perform next season?

Are the Lasses in good hands with the latest appointment?

Plus, who’d make your five a side team with one player from each of the last five managers?

It's never dull at Sunderland, is it? The short-lived "will he, won't he?" Granit Xhaka appears to be over as it has been confirmed that our captain will STAY on Wearside following interest from Chelsea, so the Lads jumped on shortly after the news broke for a chinwag! On today's show:

So then... how many people are furiously deleting posts on social media now then?!

In all seriousness, this is great news... so what does it mean?

We beg for forgiveness...

How much did he enjoy the season?!

Derbies a great advert for the north-east...

How was it for a reporter at the Chelsea game!
