Sunderland 'til I die - Netflix

Anyone been watching this?

Sorry, wrong sub forum FFS

It's this flu

Great TV, you can tell it is well produced as the city looks an appealing place to live.

I like how it starts with such hope and optimism but within ten mins they've been smashed by Celtic, fans have rioted and Gibson has been filmed calling out his teammates in a pissed up rant...and it just gets worse. Tragic club.

Watched it all really enjoyed it, especially the demise

Read that as "appalling", which is actually considerably more accurate tbh.

Just fired this up. David £#%&!ing Moyes...

Chris Coleman squaring upto that fan 😂 great wumming by him

"Chris Chris how do you feel? “

" Gutted honestly "

" yeah? You haven't got a clue mate...... £#%&!ing #@&%!"

What a @#%&! Jack Rodwell is

Is he? They gave him a contract and he held them to it.

Clubs hold players to contracts when they want to leave, why can't it be the other way around?

Coleman came out of that pretty well. I bet he's gutted he went there in the first place.

It's clear the club was poorly run. The chief exec came across as a right miserable @#%&! who thinks he's a lot brighter than he is. That @#%&! was getting paid £1.2m per year to oversee them getting relegated twice in 2 years

Good series
Got pretty intimate, without turning into some kind of PR exercise (although maybe that was the initial intention)

The manager doing a flip chart presentation on the passion the fans expect inspirational stuff. I was cringing more than the players

Booked loads of car hires for there scouts the Moyes season such as billy McKinley and Kevin ball

i remember there was a TV series on Sunderland FC in the 1990s, they got relegated that season too

Been to York a few times, not such a bad place at all IMO.

Who was that? Coleman?

Grayson in the first episode. Came across as thick as £#%&!, bless him.

Gibson’s accent is going to give me nightmares. What even is he? Like how I’d expect someone from the Isle of Man to talk the weird @#%&!.

Is it just me or does Simon Grayson age ten years with every managerial appointment?

That reminds me.... dirty Leeds next season

Yup, apparently the production team had been part of a consortium that tried to buy the club. Suspect they wanted to salvage something from the misery of the two seasons and watching that you'd think Sunderland was a decent place to live with a great stadium so won't do them much harm.
