I had a colleague in Moscow who was from Newcastle and a Newcastle United fan. He hated Sunderland. I think he got more joy out of Sunderland doing badly than he did Newcastle doing well.

Sunderland till i die is fantastic viewing and i am not even a real Soccer lover.

Relegation systems are just brutal and so hard on clubs in struggling times and Sunderland are a big team and it is just a tragic story which makes compelling viewing. The Staff / Supporters and everyone i can literally feel their pain and as soon as they get relegated wages go down etc and star young up and coming players which they need to get back up are swooped upon by higher ranked teams who can offer more money leaving the team they depart in the wilderness and back at square one.

Once the relegation process starts it is doomsday and so hard to get back into the big leagues where profits are much more available to achieve and this story of Sunderland is truly tragic must watch TV.

Reminds me actually of my own team Carlton coming from glory days when i was in my early 20's and then just being a total basket case for over a decade and the fans are the hardest hit sadly. If you support a successful team be thankful and grateful because who knows what lies around the corner.

Sports just rip the heart out of people and it is such a roller coaster.

Really enjoyed it. I was wondering do the fans who feature in it have to give their permission? It just seems a bit odd that the peanut having a go at Chris Coleman after they had been relegated and the bloke who smashes the camera at half time would have agreed for their faces to be on the show.

Who knows what they signed prior to it being released regarding what content/faces etc could be shown at the producers discretion etc.
 
I just finished First Team: Juventus. It was actually not bad, 6 eps. Interesting season with that epic champions league QF tie vs Real Madrid, Buffon leaving for the first time etc.

Unlike Sunderland though, the trick here is to actually skip thru most of the off field bullshit - hanging with fans, boring backstories and club events. The last 2-3 eps are best.

Finally getting into documentaries thanks to Netflix. Loved the Last Dance, and watched Free Solo and Icarus tonight.

All you bigfooty WADA enthusiasts are probably all over Icarus already but holy ****ing shit. One of the best docos I have seen and a worthy oscar winner.

Would you rate it better than " The Dawn Wall "?

The guy in dawn wall has a much better story. It's the kind of background you could make a movie out of. The guy in free solo is less likable and has a less interesting life story but is preparing for and attempting something so crazy to most people, it just makes for riveting viewing.

If you liked dawn wall, I'd very strongly recommend free solo. If you didn't like dawn wall, I'd strongly recommend free solo. If I could only watch one again going forward, it would be free solo as it is simply breathtaking what he wants to do.
