Bailey is Right Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 For those of you with a Netflix subscription. They've recently added a new documentary about Sunderland FC, filmed over the course of last season. Its a really interesting view into the workings of a modern football club with bits from the managers, chief execs, fans and players. Albeit, I'm not too far into it, but have enjoyed it a lot so far and would recommend to any fellow OTIBer, no mention of City as of yet in episode 2 (bar the odd clip of Adam Matthews) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I haven’t got Netflix so keep us informed please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BessexRED Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I’m 4 episodes in, City game at the SoL didn’t feature as they focused on the game that followed where Grayson was sacked. Sure the 3-3 will be heavily focused on which will be painful to relive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtonwurzel Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Would be good for the "why don't we spend millions on journeymen ex Prem players" brigade. It's not the millions it costs to sign and pay them that hurts, its the paying them millions to get shot ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DT The Optimist Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Would be a good watch for sure. I really enjoyed the Man City one on Amazon ,All or Nothing, and this one if similar would be more on our level. Especially as it ends in tears I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebristolred Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Yeah it’s a great documentary, love these. Just to put it into perspective how messed up they were as a club - their head scout listed Ibrahimovic as a transfer target last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 It’s a good job they aren’t documenting this season. They’d need 2 episodes just to fit today’s goals in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nebristolred Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 Not sure there’d be the interest or appetite from Bristol Sport but one on City would be amazing. Especially if we’re supposedly technologically advanced for the club we are, it would be a great way to showcase the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman Mao Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Christ, that Sunderland game was the worst since the 1-1 draw with Charlton under Cotts. I felt awful reliving that shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Finished watching last night. As a documentary it was 10x what the Man City one was. Man City was an advert whereas the Sunderland one actually had something to say. Most interesting to me was seeing how differently each of the players acted through the season. From Rodwell's well documented case, to Grabban thinking he was better than Sunderland, to Honeyman's actual tears when they were finally relegated. I thought Cattermole carried himself well throughout. Steele their goalkeeper was a study in how to utterly destroy the confidence of an optimistic new signing. Then McGeady makes interesting comments where he basically is asking for Coleman to bollock them instead of being supportive. We laugh when LJ mentions "DNA" but I think this is what he is alluding to. He wants to avoid players like Rodwell and Grabban who although technically good do not have the heart for it. Their fans are passionate to the point of obsession and the pisshead who tries to fight Coleman after relegation is tragic. However, it doesn't look like there is much to do in Sunderland other than watch the football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I thought it was brill when Snodin was scouting a player at Scunthorpe and basically dismissed him as he was ‘wearing gloves when it wasn't even cold’ and Coleman was spot on when he said if a player has the wrong attitude you get rid of him straightaway because he isn’t going to change....
