[TV] Netflix - Sunderland Till I Die!

We've had Amazon Primes behind the scenes docu, All or Nothing on Man City.
Now we have Netflix, in conjunction with Fulwell73, a docu on Sunderland's relegation season 2017/2018.

The banterous 2017/18 campaign takes in Simon Grayson being sacked 15 minutes after full-time, Chris Coleman’s thankless task thereafter, owner Ellis Short attempting to sell the club for nothing, a tipsy Darron Gibson calling the club “f**king shite” while arguing with fans in a pub and Darron Gibson getting pinched for drink-driving for the second time in three years.

There’s also other entertaining miscellanea such as a Newcastle supporter winning his rival club’s half-time competition and then celebrating like Alan Shearer in front of the Stadium of Light crowd, and one Sunderland fan staging an actual dirty protest up in the terraces after a 3-1 home defeat against Reading.

Unlike City’s shiny exercise in anodyne corporate propaganda, ‘Sunderland Til I Die’ will be doubtlessly well worth a watch.

This should be good

I'm enjoying the City one, but this one sounds like a real through-the-fingers jobbie. I'll be all over it. The Leyton Orient one with John Sitton ("and you can bring yer f*****g DINNER") and of course the Graham Taylor "do I not like that" documentaries were riveting.

City's is all very polished, sweetness and light and glory. But its MUCH more fun watching things going royally tits up, and they could not have picked a better club, or season, than Sunderland last year. Marvellous.

I lost interest at 'banterous'.

Indeed. I thought the best bit on the city one was Pep bricking it about playing Liverpool then they got smashed! Twice. The lows are much more interesting to view than routine wins.

Really enjoying the city one, even my non footy fan sister lives it.

Sunderland one I hope will be even better, it sounds it

Remember the camera at games last season for this coming up to the fans and filming us after the game. At Brentford after 3-1 up at half time going to 3-3 should be interesting to see if they captured the mood after the game. Fulwell 73 is run by Sunderland supporters and I think is a top filming company in the US, there was rumours of them taking us over last season when Short was still in charge

Really really looking forward to this. The Jack Rodwell saga is still clouded in a little mystery, so be good to get a look into that and what went wrong at the club.

Really not liking the Man City doc. Its very watchable simply for the access and insight, but its basically a 8 hour long advert for the club with very little probing. Also, some very bizarre decisions made during the production, why Ben Kingsly? He's so detached from everything its just odd, also I think the first time I heard an Oasis track was when they went to the Middle East! The games in general are also strangly flat with very ittle excitment, doesn't capture the feeling in game.

Anyway, even if this Sunderland is similar it'll be much more entertaining to watch simpy becasue of what happened at the club

They are the production company that makes James Corden's talkshow in the US.

Should be fun

They're filming a second series this season as well - could be even better

I've watched the first three episodes so far and I'm also enjoying it. The star of the show so far is undoubtedly the kit man.

Not seen anything yet I deem disrespectful towards United or any other club for that matter so I can only assume that is more hot air from Jose?

Wait, this isn't a spoof?

Could be absolutely hilarious if real, a real life The Office.

Was this a reference to the 'dirty protest up in the terraces after a 3-1 home defeat against Reading', where the poor fan was, I'm assuming, caught short having already thrown his roll of loo paper when the teams emerged before the game?

I actually didn't know that but did wonder as the same looking guy with a top end camera was filming at Luton and then Gillingham the other night, will look out for him at Wimbledon tomorrow.

I think this will be worse than the office given what happened last year

Not really. But the "poor fan" was, I gather, absolutely trolleyed and off his face on something, to the point where he didn't even know where he was when he started laying a vince.

Picked it up from the Twitter thread under the tweet in the OP - several comments indicating they're doing it. Car crash TV ??

I dont think so - the optimism amongst the fans I have not felt since Keano took over. Played 4 won 3 and drawn 1

Yep Fulwell 73 are ownde/run/manned by BIG Sunderland fans, Brits though I'm sure, I think the main guy there is Gabe something - ad and film director.
