Kingswood Robin Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Don't know if this has been mentioned, but a new series has started on Netflix, The English Game. Looks like a series about the origins of football. At some point I think they are going to recreate the 1883 Cup Final complete with Rugby style tactics/formations. Looks interesting.

Drew Peacock Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 It is just like Downton Abbey, which is not surprising given the writer. Very light and fluffy viewing, probably just the thing for current times, but don't expect a documentary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunter Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Watched the first two episodes - really good. Downton Abbey for football fans!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 Well, if I say that the wife has happily sat there while we watched the lot, and she hates football, should tell you all you need too know. Still a decent watch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinmans Love Child Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I watched four episodes last night whilst my new baby daughter slept on me and my wife caught up on sleep. I think it was quite good but I’m so tired currently that I can’t really remember what happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busterrimes Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 I have now hinged watched 4 episodes and am quite enjoying it. A little less social commentary (The woman's hostel) would have been but it is easy to see why the Lancashire clubs dominated the early years of football.
