Sunderland Til' I Die (4 Viewers)

[Mcbean]

Was trying to find the first series but i guess its all on netflix which i don't have

Come on. This show is brilliant.

10 minutes in the first episode you have a clueless managing director trying to change club identity with no idea about heritage and nobody willing to challenge him.

 

[David O'Day]

Fuck em, comedy Newcastle

 

[hill83]

“Get the guitar”

These whinging fuckers talking about being stitched up. Player runs down contract. Doesn’t like your offer. Moves to top league French club. It’s not rocket science. Dickheads.

What about all the shit players you fucked off. Works both ways.

Fucking missing football again though.

 

[hill83]

They’ve used the same close up shot of the crowd celebrating 3 times in 3 different episodes so far. Minor thing, but the amount of money Netflix dish out to people to make tv shows for them it’s a poor effort.

 

[hill83]

Ha ha, didn’t even know they played the checkatrade final that year. ‘Big clubs’ big day out for a tinpot trophy is it?

And they lost! Ha ha

Like you I found the sequencing last series awful, showing goals being celebrated at the wrong ground etc, I hate stuff like that.
I was watching that 999 on the front line which is filmed in cov. I noticed them driving the ambulance to a call out somewhere in cov and it showed them driving both ways down Ansty Road, I weren't pleased

yep that put me off, watched the first couple but couldn’t stand the shoddy production and editing. Took away all enjoyment, and I wasn’t that enamoured with it anyway, the whole thing was about how brilliant Sunderland people are and how they deserve a team that is winning the Chanpions League every season.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Was like the movie 28 Weeks Later- they run around London escaping zombies and manage to get to Wembley Stadium to be taken to safety- they go up the tunnel and it’s actually the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff- proper fucked me off.

 

[Nick]

Just put it on, it's hilarious.

 

[CanadianCCFC]

4 minutes in
“This is what stops people crying in church”

 

[CanadianCCFC]

“If we can get out of league one, then you feel that the serious work begins.”
Lol

 

[Nick]

That posh prick who clearly knows nothing about football

 

[Nick]

The play off final, shouldn't laugh but it's cheered me up.

 

[hill83]

“If we can get out of league one, then you feel that the serious work begins.”

Very much enjoyed that bit. Came in with no respect for the league they are in. Bit like us when we first started dropping down the leagues to be fair. But it’s funny because it’s not us.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Loved it

 

[Sbarcher]

There seems to be something funny and amusing for football clubs to have decent, passionate fans. There's more of them, but they are no different to us or any other club. Remember the bloke close to tears holding the sign "We'll Be Back" when we went down? Amused at fans crying after losing at Wembley? Think I'd have shed a few if Exeter had beaten us.
Yes, it's Sunderland, yes, there's history, but I felt sympathy for those decent fans throughout the series. We take the piss about them being Billy Big Bollocks in our league, but they are! 46,000 fans against Bradford City is remarkable.
We all love our bit of banter, but we shouldn't get bitter and twisted with it all. Now of all times maybe we should start showing a little respect to others.
Just saying like........

That posh prick who clearly knows nothing about football

I read a review that said his foul mouthed rant at his marketing team was like a scene from Glengarry Glen Ross
Thought that was spot on
A lesson in how to de-motivate people
A buffoon
Forget it's Sunderland this is a magnificent series showing what it's like to support virtually any struggling football club

[gazza]

Its a poor show conpared to other dooty docus out there

which dooty docus would you recommend?

 

[Mcbean]

Maradona one is dood !

 

[gazza]

Some of the Sunderland fans actually need subtitles

 

[Mr Panda]

"You can play what you want, but you will need a new PR system". Loved that line

I would immediately turn off and become demotivated working for a guy like that

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Sum’ th’ Sunlun fans ackcha nee’ subty’als lyk

I hear ya

 

[CCFCSteve]

It’s decent watch. Only seen first episode, to be fair thought Stuart Donald comes across pretty well. The meeting between that Charlie and the four others (hopefully in the top echelons of the club !!!) was cringeworthy/comedy gold.

The pre match music is so cringe it’s unreal

There was an earlier documentary on Sunderland (Why always Sunderland?) which I think was on the BBC. It was when they were managed by Peter Reid and they were having quite a successful time. The thing that stood out for me was an episode where they showed Reid in the dressing room at half time talking to the team. It was basically an incoherent rant. Reid talked ten to the dozen, obviously pumped up, the players nodded dutifully but what he was saying was largely incoherent rubbish. I was amazed that a manager, working at the highest level, someone who played in a World Cup, could sound like any Sunday League manager of a pub team.

Premier passions?

 

[jordan210]

Anyone who is involved in purchasing players should watch the Grigg transfer episode.

JR says he sent worth over 1.5M and they spend what 3m+ on him. Crazy

That was their last season at Roker Park wasn’t it? The season we stayed up at WHL?

 

[Liquid Gold]

I think where it does well that other football ones don’t is the lack of a narrator. The story is told by the staff, players and fans so it comes across as genuine.

When you have some gruff voice actor telling you how gruelling the season is and going through all the cliches it feels hammed up.
