Watched a few episodes of the Netflix thing. It's much better than the City one on Amazon Prime in my opinion.
Obviously there's a bit more drama than ours as we virtually won every week, but it's more gritty and there's much more fascinating stuff behind the scenes too.
Ours was overly sanitised - this feels really honest. Have to applaud the documentary makers and the club for the footage they've caught and the bravery to keep it in.

anyone seen the above documentary on Netflix. Well worth a watch if you haven’t, gives a proper insight into how not to run a club. On a side note Sunderland seem like a down to earth lot and their community revolves round their club.

I posted on the Sunderland thread at the weekend that I thought it was considerably better than the City one on Amazon Prime.
Jack Rodwell does not come across well in it.

I've been watching it, too. I have a lot of empathy for the Sunderland fans, probably because we too have been through the rough and the even rougher. But why the fuck did they employ a useless article like Grayson to begin with?

That Martin Bain is a right arse. Proper loves himself. The manager was clueless, just look at the way he treated the keepers. And no surprise that Darron Gibson was a right prick.

Their fans are so committed to the club: they quite literally live and breathe Sunderland. They've had absolutely sweet fuck all to celebrate over the years but that hasn't diminished their passion for the club, not one bit. That chap who lives hundreds of miles away but never misses a game was a shining example of a proper supporter. Him and his wife rubbing the foot of that Bob Stoker statue. The other chap with the tattoos of Niall Quinn, Peter Reid etc. Terrific fan base.
Compare them to those plastic bastards who wouldn't recognise the swamp if it was painted in a bright luminous yellow. The type who have absolutely no interest in football but 'support' the vermin because they used to be successful and have been brought up on Sky...brainwashed fucking lemmings, all of them.

Fantastic programme. Only 4 episodes in but it's every bit as well made as "All or nothing".
It brings back some bittersweet memories and I can't help but feel, there but for the grace of God....
