Heā€™s politically incorrect to put it mildly :grinning:

They wouldnā€™t be allowed make it now.

Itā€™s a superb documentary. The mid 90s were a wonderful time.

Liamā€™s documentary - As It Was - is worth a watch too. Heā€™s a very funny and humble guy.

Tiger King gets better every episode until episode three or four. Then it gets worse again. Itā€™s ends pretty boringly.

Theres nothing interesting about Sunderland fc , I wouldnt waste my fucking time looking up what their fans /board / club says . Lads spending hours watching it . Crazy

Good synopsis. I was waiting for a big twist in the last two episodes. First 3 episodes were mental.

I heard during the week that merchandise sales have skyrocketed since the first series. Fans all over the world now.

How do you know?

Thatā€™s the ultimate indictment of footix.

Sad middle aged cunts so fucking scared of their own lives and feelings that they have to project it into lethargic millionaires in the NorthEast of England. The whole point of series 1 is that noone involved in this club gives a fuck about it except for the fans, while a pack of ugly desperate cunts. These wannabe Fever Pitch losers can get fucked.

The other point to series 1 was that supporting your community is important so why can these people not from Sunderland not get involved in their own communities? Mind bending level of wankery.

The Sunderland Til I Die second series isnā€™t particularly good. I enjoyed the first one so persevered with the whole series. The final episode where the owner is in with the wannabe ultras up the back at Fratton Park could have gone very wrong for him if they lost

I saw a bit of it the other day. The fucking sheep in the stadium of light singing about Sunderland being the best team in the worldā€¦ what are you like Siobhan they are in fucking League 1

From memory, ā€œPremier Passionsā€ is very good despite the shit, FIFA film-style name.

Premier Passions is a five-part British documentary TV series, broadcast on BBC One between 24 February and 31 March 1998. It was narrated by actress and Sunderland fan Gina McKee, directed by Newcastle United fan John Alexander and produced by Stephen Lambert.

It chronicled Sunderland A.F.C. during the 1996-97 season, in which the club was relegated from the Premiership, the year after winning promotion from Nationwide League Division One.

The programme gave unprecedented insight into the goings-on in and around a Premier League football team, with the 45-minute episodes following a chronological order, beginning in December 1996 with the club sitting comfortably mid-table and mapping the next five months until relegation on the final day of the season. A constant theme was the clubā€™s thwarted search to sign a new striker who might have scored the goals to save the team from relegation. The boardroom was also not out of bounds as the documentary records the clubā€™s decision to float on the stock market, as well as meetings and debates regarding the clubā€™s move to a new home, the Stadium of Light.

It was shown in a sort of Vincent Browne type time slot which sort of added to the drama of it.

The documentary with QPR was very good that time.
