He was dealing with the hand he was dealt by his boss. Loved the bit at the end of episode 5 I think it was when he gets the call about Rodwell staying and he goes off swearing into his office. Could see even with the snippets the likes of Gibson and what happened with Chris Martin how hard it can be with deals etc. also that Home game vs milwall has to be the worst game for standards of goalkeeping ever!

Owl Rly Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Finished it the other day and a collection of thoughts: - actually felt Martin Bain came off quite well in the process, was trying hard in an impeccably difficult situation - I thought the reason why Rodwell didn’t play was due to an appearance owed to Man City if he played another game? Is that wrong? - Grayson is an impeccably dull and uninspiring manager, just one look at his potato face and I’m staggered anyone wants to ever do anything inspiring - Documentary did a remarkable job of making David Jones’ screamer look impeccably tame - Hated the pronounced sound effects of people kicking a ball - Theme tune was the shittest thing ever Edited January 3, 2019 by Owl Rly Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I enjoyed watching it, although I felt that it probably could have been a couple of episodes shorter. There was too much gameplay I felt. As I saw Jonny Williams - a truly likeable, humble and throughly talented player whose career is being ruined by injuries - I couldn’t help but think of Kieran Lee Grayson came across as a doddery old bloke, Coleman as a - albeit a bit smarmy - man of the people and I thought Bain came across exactly who he was - a focused executive carrying out the wishes of his boss...without any real chance to do anything differently. seen a lot of people mention Grabban, but I thought by far and away the biggest jebend was Jason Steele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Shows that if the owner has got bored, fed up of ploughing in money for no return, or has lost faith in the management of the club; then there’s nothing the club can do. And that supporters don’t seem to understand this and expect someone to donate their own money to please them. Makes you more aware that the organisation / set up of a club is key for long term success and that it’s best to not have one person making all the calls https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Bayern_Munich https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borussia_Dortmund https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FC_Barcelona Also make you wonder why Brighton bought Jason Steele 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoop Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Just started watching this, currently up to episode 6 My thoughts- Bain comes across as a reyt smarmy git Rodwell, Steele and Grabben seem like proper jebends The Sunderland fans are the angriest set of malnourished roughians that I’ve ever seen That intro is the most annoying thing I’ve seen in a long while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I thought it captured the atmosphere of a club that is stale and suffering so well. The shocking keeping, the full physio room, the almost eerily quiet dressing room with hardly any interaction. Managers trying to be positive and dishing out sound bytes. Half empty stadium. The only ones who remain jovial are the staff who have worked there for years but they suffer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
