Maddogbob Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Football had a soul? Cheers for the heads up, going to get stuck into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I’ve seen 4 episodes now - which I think is all of them. Really enjoyed it, despite the apparent emphasis on Man Ure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Yeah, I enjoyed it too. Depressing that whenever they showed a snapshot of the top half of the league table, we were never in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I had forgotten about the Man U fans groups who had a successful campaign against Rupert Murdoch taking over the club. Was impressive how committed and clever they were but ultimately they won the battle but lost the war on mega rich people from abroad taking over clubs for wealth and ego reasons.

Quickly Kevin Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I enjoyed it and remembering again the madness such as cheerleaders and parachutists pre game. But since it was produced by a Beckham media company it was essentially a United story. Mentions of other teams/players focused on them challenging United. And the cast of people interviewed was a bit limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickly Kevin Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Coverage of our 92/93 cup battles v Everton would have been nice. But other narratives missed to name a few - how top 6 of first season had Norwich, Villa, QPR etc - Forests relegation and return with likes of Collymore and Bohinen - Swindons story, denied promotion then conceding 100 goals - Boros crazy season in 96/97 - a light hearted focus on awful signings, Marco Boogers, Ali Dia, any Sounness signing for Liverpool, John Jensen, Brolin... - Spurs in the 90's - bungs, bans ( overturned) from FA Cup, Alan Sugar in general and his rows with Klinsmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickly Kevin Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Everton as well - wonderkids like Cadameteri and two last day survivals ( dodgy Keeper in 94) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie Henderson Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 It was an interesting watch but I was left with an overall feeling of sadness. It was basically documenting the time that football was taken away from the fans who'd kept it alive from the start and then handed over to the money men to turn it into the elitist circus that it is today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
