Sunderland Til I Die on Netflix

I thought this was excellent and highly addictive.

I flew through it in 4 days.

Interesting to get a look at the inner workings of a football club in turmoil.

Hope they bounce back for the sake of their mental fans.

Watched it de jazz.

Really enjoyed it much better than the man city one that preceded it.

The passion of the fans on Tyne & Wear reminds me of Scottish clubs.

Glory days are in a former era but there is still a beating heart.

Fella that owns MC is the Depute Leader of a state that still executes

folk accused of homosexuality.

But the MC players all wear the rainbow laces

Thought it was great, really interesting.

Made me realise that despite the fact Sunderland is quite far removed from the likes af United, Chelsea, Spurs etc.. the thing I found most profound was that the footballing decisions in terms of buying and selling players etc came purely from the Chairman Martin Bain. He clearly hadn’t a scooby do about football, and it was sometimes like watching a take from “the office” with how unprofessional and disorganiesed it all was.

Made me wonder if United is run in a similar fashion, just replace Martin Bain with Ed Woodward, and add a bottomless pit of cash 😅

Mr Bain used to be at Rangers.

OP is a Gers fan.

I had two badly delayed work flights this week and fortunately I had downloaded it onto my Ipad.

Watched it all back to back.

Needless to say it ends with Bain being escorted to his car by security

Only joking.

It really ends with the supporters clubs throwing a big party in Bains honour to thank him for the back to back relegations

Reading threads from the end to start usually benefits me.

Not this time.

I thought I was giving Keano news about Baldy Bain.

It reminded me of Moneyball.
But without the success.
Or the money.
Or the intelligent supercomputer.
