He's on at about 35 minutes in if you want to listen again on BBC Sounds. Modest, likeable sounding bloke. Says that Wilder told him at the end of last season that he was in his plans for this season. This motivated him to work hard on his fitness over the summer. Also said that the team started out a little in awe of their Premier League opposition...but that has now passed. And his nickname is Lunny. Worth a listen

Good listen that. Lunny great interviewee.

The rest of the them seem like they're doing their best to be mostly knowledgeable and make up for some of their BBC colleagues.
 
Great interview from Lunny.

It seemed to me that Chris Sutton was trying to add a grown up slant to the piece but was getting annoyed with the others who were adding immature asides.
 
The comment about Wednesday feeling like a more cosmopolitan club, despite the disaster, despite them being away from the premier league for over two decades, despite their stadium being both out of town and a decaying relic, was pretty hard to stomach. Old associations die very hard. Incredible really, and this was from the educated Rory Smith

Some reasonable praise in general although to be honest I generally don't give a flying about anyones opinion other than mine and a few on here! Fk the press!

I'd advise anyone to type Lundstram into Twitter and just look at the comments from fantasy football players. He's the most loved footballer on the planet

Revolution Jr informs me that this is in part due to the inexplicable decision to class him as a defender, which in some way makes him more valuable than he should be!
 
I have always liked Sutton. A very talented player. His comments about people not having watched us (in L1 and Champ) were said with real venom. I wouldn't read too much into the Wednesday comments. That was perhaps the perception in his playing days, it isn't now. The Germans have a fan TV show where 3 fans from each Bundesliga club discuss football, along with some ex players. Mathias Sammer said he loved watching us and many of the fans nodded when one of their number said we were his favourite team now. We were described as Leicester MKII, that being the only negative.

I thought Sutton seemed like a grumpy old bastard and the rest of them sounded pretty well-humored. Made me laugh when he said he had more important things to be doing than researching fantasy football like Micah Richards, who was obviously a big fan of Lundstram. Which was odd because just before Mark Chapman talked about how Sutton hosts BBC's fantasy football podcast.
 
He is a bit grumpy generally but he was the only one who appeared knowleable about us and wanted to talk about how we play. Only to be continually interrupted with shit banter from the rest of them.

It was indeed,thanks for posting😉.We are certainly making media folk take notice,though Sutton has changed his tune, claiming he watches league one and championship,yet had us down at season kick off as relegation fodder. Hmmmmm.
Mica Richards loves our football and the references to Wilder's old school values aligned to contemporary football philosophy had me beaming with pride. Brought a wee tear to my eyes:D. What a treat to be a Blade.

It’s a vague perception based purely on the memories of people aged between 40 and 60. Roles have been reversed now but it’ll take a few years for Tuftyball to become embedded in the national footballing consciousness. As it deserves to be.

But like you say, it’s fine to go under the radar. We gain little from it, other than a few insecure individuals feeling validated by the words of media celebs and ill-educated pundits.

That’s Sutton’s schtick - he plays up the grumpy old git thing, but I like him for it and he still talks a lot of sense.
However, this persona did slip during the last World Cup - he got swept up in the atmosphere and enthusiasm and became ultra positive. All sunshine and lollipops - it was adorable.
