    There were a lot of inaccuracies in their crowd shots in S1 if I remember rightly (people clearly at a match taking place in the summer supposedly reacting to something that took place in a match in January).

    I actually didn’t think the first series was amazing, it was a bit football for people that don’t know much about football, but I guess because it gave us a rare look behind the scenes it still had enough about it to be interesting.

    I never saw Fashanu or Jones as intimidating, if I was playing on a Sunday against either of those they wouldn't have bothered me in the slightest. Keane, Souness those two had a real edge of genuine, nasty violence about them as did our own Lee Bowyer they would have been horrible to compete against and would have brought out the worst in me. The Leicester centre half Walsh was a genuine hard man and no centre forward wanted any part of him
    Agree with that. Van den Hauwe, Mark Dennis, Thommo and any number of 80s players were harder than Fashanu and Jones.
    Billy Bremner, Ron Harris.

    Rodwell was a disgrace . Contract or no contract . He’s exactly what’s wrong with football today . Fact
    You’re looking at the symptom not the cause. Sunderland and other farcically run clubs - including our own - create these situations by handing out these ridiculous contracts in the first place. How did he not have a relegation clause put in there? Why a flat £70,000 per week, why not make it contingent on appearances? True, Rodwell may have behaved like an arse but the club allowed him to do it by creating a situation where they carried all the risk and him none.
    If I remember correctly, Paul Stewart was at Liverpool and eventually left to go to Tottenham.  At one point he said that he was not going to leave Liverpool for another club and then be worse off.

    He made no bones about the contract he was on, even though he was not playing too much football.

    I always had a bit of respect for him after that with his honesty.

    Now just needs somebody to identify that one of the fans was speaking with a ‘Dick Van Dyke’ Cockney accent...

    He went from Spurs to Liverpool. He refused to leave on a permanent deal and spent the last 2 years of his Liverpool contract out on loan before signing for Sunderland.

    Good, confirmed I was correct but wrong on the clubs.

    I really enjoyed the show. 

    I think season 2 (a season that will have a lot of Charlton recognition)

    Is released on Netflix in November

    Watched the first few episodes... Would love each club to make their own version each season as it was a really refreshing look behind the closed doors of football.

    Out of the 18 man squad that started that game 9 remain with the club I don’t think we have much to laugh about and will likely come back and bite us on the ass.

    Who cares.

    I still sing "sha la la" to my Nigel mate and it still winds him up.
    fair play but palace are a rival and that was brilliant

    taking the piss out of other clubs when we are under one of the biggest laughing stock owners in the english league system is the bit i find strange.

    I don't see that as taking the piss out of them, just some lighthearted "banter".

    To be fair as well we're well within our rights to take the piss

    We've got our ownership problems yet can still get promoted over sides ran properly - What does that say about them?

    Depends how you view Twitter I suppose. I like that our media team can make a joke on there and it’s not just used to provide a news service. There’s still a line an official account shouldn’t cross, but I don’t see a need for them to be serious 100% of the time.

    Whatever you do don't follow any North American Sports Teams' Twitter accounts, you'll combust!

    Imagine being offended by a light hearted joke that is in our favour based on one of the greatest days in our history.

    Yes it will probably come back to bite us, but who fecking cares? Really?

    I would not describe the league one final play off win as one of our greatest days in our history. Not to say I didn't have a wonderful day.

    I would rather the cheap gags than the "we was robbed" match comms we sometimes get.  After the 5th or 6th "Ref how is that not a pen" tweet of the match it gets a bit ott.
