Series 2 was much more focused on Donald and Methven and i can't say i enjoyed it as much.

Getting hard over Will Grigg was weird. It was clear the young lad wasn't signing the contract so they should have been speaking to players well before deadline day. 3 million for a striker who has only scored under 8 goals in 49 games for them. Ooft.

Same here i felt last season was much better to watch and a lot more indepth.

I was gutted they stayed down after watching season one but now after seeing the fans reaction (worse than series 1) and that knob Methven  I am delighted they fucked up the cup final and play offs.

Binged 2nd series of Sunderland documentary today. Great entertainment once more. Hope they make another. My bulletpoints:-

- Their fans are incredibly deluded/hyprocritical/fucking knobs. Some highlights "This game (cup final) will be shown all over the world". Aye, I'm sure millions will be tuning in to the English Challenge Cup mate. "One of the biggest clubs in the country" and in the next scene you get "This is a once in a lifetime game" (Challenge Cup final). The player getting abuse in the shop with his family highlighted how much they are complete c***s. I imagine they could have shared a lot more stories like that. I've disliked a lot of QoS players in my time but I would never give a player abuse in the street, let alone if they had their family with them. Loyal fans yet they could only muster 27,000 for the biggest home game of the season because ST weren't accepted?!

- Methven will definitely be a p***k and business first. I didn't think he was out of line with the Irish lassie, her attitude was a bigger concern. I found it more annoying when he shot down the young guy in board room when they were discussing ticket allocation. The lad made a valid point that those who had attended the previous Chekatrade games (diddy games) should be given a chance at tickets. He was more concerned about profit.

- The women fans really don't come out of it well. Some absolute cringeworthy stuff. Shite like (at 1-0) "I wish the game was finished now". Just obviously drivel.

- That "Greatest team, the world has ever seen" song must be one of the worst in football.

The way they make it I almost want to see them do well to see newly implemented things work and new signings perform. Then we get a scene involving their fans and I revert back to hoping we see their salty tears. Fannies.

Not as bad as that but there was a clip in the first episode of the players apparently training for the first game of the season - except Craig Samson was in it and he didn't leave us until October or November.

One of the guys behind it was on the Totally Football League Show today and said they weren't making a third season. They only made a second because the ownership changed as if Ellis Short had still been in charge it would just have been more of the same.

The absolute state of that funeral on Tiger King BTW. 

Joe talking about the guy rubbing his balls on his face, singing his own song for promotion and the mum looking like she was out her face on meth. 

No righters the lot of them.

Finished Sunderland Til I Die Season Two. Agree that it's not quite as enjoyable as the first season, but it's always nice to see disappointed Mackems and imagine Andy Dawson crying into his blue drink on the train home.

That’s all six seasons of Community up on Netflix now. 

I got as far as the third season before it was removed from All 4 a couple of months ago so looking forward to catching the rest of it.

Chevy Chase ruined Community for me.

An absolutely rancid character. Not even Alison Brie could save it.

Not entirely sure you can sit there and slate the entire Sunderland fanbase for being hypocritical knobs when the documentary itself only features about 15 of them in total. In general, they are a good set of fans and to average 30,000 in League One when you can't beat Accrington Stanley is pretty decent regardless of the club.

Charlie Methven outs himself as an absolute whopper though. FWIW, he is absolutely wrong about the stadium music as well. Having been to the SoL a couple of times, I can honestly say that Dance of the Knights (The Apprentice tune) was an incredible choice of music to build up to kick off. Why you would can that in favour of making it like 'a rave in Ibiza', I just cannot understand.

I sat watched the first episode of the first series last night, having never heard of this documentary before.

 

It's utterly laughable how their fans reacted to getting a telling from Celtic in pre season. A friendly FFS, and some of them are utterly frothing at the mouth. Another case of English football underestimating our best side IMO.

Was also delightful to briefly see Dorus de Vries!

We see far more than 15 shouting acid abuse from the stands throughout. They come across as a completely odious bunch. That they support in numbers is irrelevant. The OF get tens of thousands every home game as well.

Just started season two of Sunderland till I die, already this Charlie Methven is an absolute w**k.  The state of his presentation at the very start just screams business w**k with arrogance and a bunch of nonsense cliches and buzzwords

You'll realise as the programme goes on that a lot of that foaming at the mouth stuff was actually probably from a different game entirely. For all the praise it gets about being a brilliant documentary, which it is, the editing is very poor in parts e.g. Sunderland miss a chance away at Brentford and then it shows the fans with their head in their hands at the SoL
