David Guiza Posted 14 December 2018 Posted 14 December 2018 The fact that the first episode begins with one of the players picking out two left boots is everything I was hoping for. Feel for the fans, but great gallows humour.
BenTheFox Posted 14 December 2018 Author Posted 14 December 2018 I'm already five episodes in. I wonder what people with lives are doing tonight...
SAFC1 Posted 14 December 2018 Posted 14 December 2018 I can’t believe Jason Steele got a move to the PL after that season with us

I watched 3, It's nice to know there's others of us out there. Maybe we can start a support group. 29 minutes ago, SAFC1 said: I can’t believe Jason Steele got a move to the PL after that season with us He seems like a prized tool. I'm sure you find it less amusing, but the dude at the start talking about hammering Celtic in pre-season to get the good feeling back in the city before losing 5-0 was another highlight.

BenTheFox Posted 15 December 2018 Author Posted 15 December 2018 Any of our fans that are moaning about where we are at the minute need to watch this series.
ScouseFox Posted 15 December 2018 Posted 15 December 2018 watched the first ep and boy it was funny. feel like that 0-5 pre season game completely passed me by in real life, was good to see the fume on the fans after that.

Think that's a bit unfair, just because Sunderland have been piss poor at every level it doesn't mean we should be content with whatever happens just because it's not the absolute worst case scenario

I'm bored watching us at the minute. However, sometimes we do need to remind ourselves that it could be much much worse.
Samilktray Posted 15 December 2018 Posted 15 December 2018 I’m 6 episodes in and it’s great, can’t beleive how buzzing they all were for Chris Coleman coming in, mad.

We just couldn’t believe he took the job. Lovely number there at Wales. Guardiola would’ve struggled being successful at our place whilst Ellis Short was here, never mind Chris ****ing Coleman This series is just an awful reminder as to how bad last season really was.
Guest Col city fan Posted 16 December 2018 Posted 16 December 2018 Loving the series and it’s pretty much the polar opposite of what happened with us at Leicester. During our title winning season, everything went right. We avoided major injury, our best players were brilliant etc. At Sunderland, everything went wrong. The injuries to Gibson, Jonny Williams etc. Grabban returning to Bournemouth. All these things and more conspired to relegating Sunderland.

Two Billionaires one with a heart of gold that came to save a club and improve a city , his love and generosity will forever be remembered in Leicester the other well he will also be remembered as being the only person to live more hated than Maggie Thatcher in Sunderland ! Irony is Niall Quinn thier super hero made this mess

Quinn wanted a pay day for him and his Irish buddies the main Irish lads Lou and Charlie wanted out so Quinn saw a chance to cash in , he was warned by Dermot Desmond that Ellis was a cu*nt and McManus told him to wait for someone without the issue Short had , Quinn ignored all the advice and cashed in .... Quinn didn’t save Sunderland he buried them ! His magic underpants my arse and yes I know a bit about it all ! Ade In the Seaton Lane Inn can fill in the blanks .... if he still has the place feel for sunderland a great city and wonderful people , infact the nicest people I have ever met in the UK , so passionate about their club , thier crowd averages over the last 40 years has been amazing , a proper club with proper fans
Ozwin Posted 16 December 2018 Posted 16 December 2018 On the last episode now. It’s been great. Brings back some awful memories of when we got relegated though. Prem to Championship is bad but Championship to League 1 is a different level. Jack Rodwell though ? How he walked into training every day with his head held high is something else.

Aleksz Posted 17 December 2018 Posted 17 December 2018 Great watch this, got one episode left. As others have said, Jonny Williams seems an amazing bloke. Hopefully he can put the injuries behind him and get the career going he really deserves. On the contrary, Jack Rodwell is an absolute cockwomble. Had absolutely no remorse for sitting there creaming the club for 70k every week whilst they we're scrapping for their lives needing to get players in. And Aiden McGeady, might have misheard but I'm sure I've just heard him say, "We were poor at the weekend, we played a 4-3-3 and Ive never played that formation so had no idea how to play without the ball" Eh?! You're about 31 and you've never played in a 4-3-3 formation?! What a shocking excuse. Would definitely recommend watching, an absolute polar opposite to the recent Man City one.

Before he came into the club we'd just finished fifth in the championship and missed out on Wembley via a penalty shoot out.

The Horse's Mouth Posted 19 December 2018 Posted 19 December 2018 this is class, it's actually cringe when you see such lovely heartwarming optimism by the fans and you're just thinking to yourself bring it down like
