Sunderland Til' I Die (3 Viewers)

[Greggs]

Season 1 is far superior to Season 2 - S1 really shows how precarious the situation is for all the people on the periphery of a team like Sunderland (the kitchen staff, the squad players, the everyday fans). The second season barely touches on that, and is more about the ridiculousness of the new owners, which is hilarious, but there's no reason to care about them once they prove themselves to be idiots after episode 3 or so.

The show itself makes me miss away days more than ever. Sunderland fans may be arseholes, but they're long suffering the same as us.

Premier League side 3 years ago, hardly comparable to our plight.

The Four Year Plan

Series 2 not really on a par with the first. Donald’s heart was in the right place but as others have said got carried away regarding Grigg when even the manager (who obviously didn’t hold the purse strings) wouldn’t up the ante.
25,000 odd for the playoff semi-final told its own story as the fans were facing “same old same old” situation of not getting over the line.

First leg play off games are always quite low attendances aren’t they because of the quick turnaround and being on TV? I think we had more home fans for the Morecambe game than we did Notts County

 

[David O'Day]

It's glorious

Tbf 3 eps in s2 and its much better than s1

More behid scenes stuff like qpr tgis time round

Call me boring but i like discussions about changing faded seats lol

 

[Sick Boy]

Starting watching the first series and got to saying I’m enjoying it. The best bit has been them believing the Coleman hype.

Defeat after defeat they are still saying Coleman is a PL quality manager - haha

 

[Sick Boy]

Coleman has just offered out one of the fans ahahaha

Whatever we think of a certain section of Sunderland supporters they have absolutely fantastic support and to get 46,000 for a third tier match is phenomenal.
Good documentary series for any football supporter irrespective of which club you support.

I haven't seen that much of this one but I do remember the one from 1997 which I enjoyed a lot, about Sunderland again in 1996/1997 when we sent them down on the last day, their last season at Roker Park, I think its better than the new one

They have good numbers but the support is terrible, moaning negative straight on players backs and it makes the team worse. Very much like us until a few years ago.

That's still us now but we've only lost 3 games in the last year.

...and not lost a game in 2020 (don't count a penalty shoot out v Bham as a loss)

Nah, I was at Shrewsbury away last season when we went 9 without a win and nobody was getting on the team's back.

Ironically that was the last game we lost this season (19 games ago!)

Episode 5 9:50 in. What a game that was

 

[Sick Boy]

Clueless fans and clueless chairman.
Classic they turned on Ross yet thought Coleman was still a PL manager right at the end, really hope they don’t go up.

It’s made me appreciate Robins even more and even the way the club seem to actually trust in him and let him get on what it these days.
