Jesus mate, you know what he meant, why is it always an argument?
I know what he meant and disagree with it. Thatās the point of a forum
85 lost their jobs at SAFC when they were relegated from the premier league. They did not have the luxury of blaming a bad recruitment policy to justify not making a sacrifice for the good of all. Iām sure if they were asked to do 10% more for a bit less then they would do it. Rodwell didnāt even give SAFC the steam of his pissā¦

Finished the Sunderland programme. Enjoyable.

Jonny Williams seems like the nicest guy in football. Sheasy also seems a decent bloke. In fairness most of the people featured seem likeable (the chef, the taxi driver fan etc) and you find yourself rooting for them.

that Martin Bain comes across as a bit oily. Maybe itās his Hun background that had me suspicious of him.

Chris Coleman has a lovely missus.

those nights when the first team and manager show up in local pubs for a Q & A session are a mixture of cringe and hilarious.

berating the manager, the players, the board, not turning up to matches so empty seats galore, walking out of games with half an hour left and turning on all concerned when anything goes wrong but still considering themselves the best fans in the world.

Sunderland have had their fair share of terrible keepers.

Gibson, Grabban and Rodwell are all cunts.

And Sunderland looks like a pure kip of a town
Anyone have a link to the Man City documentary on Amazon cc @Copper_pipe
The North East generally is. Newcastle is another kip.
Leave it with me.

Sunderland is meant to be much grimmer than Newcastle which is fair going. Think I said it on here already but I couldnāt get over how haphazard their recruitment policy was. They wouldnāt sign one lad because the assistant manager went to game and he was wearing gloves 
Is it any wonder they sank like a stone ffs. They bought another lad because someone offered him to them. I mean is that the level of due diligence that goes into these million pound deals

Considering recruitment is the most important part of football many English clubs seem to not treat scouting very seriously
The intro song for the Sunderland documentary really sums up the place.
A toxic cloud seems to hang over the place on a full time basis
The NFL does not come across all that different tbf.
I thought birdbox was very very good
As a man who dreamed of blindfolding Sandra Bullock for years, Birdbox moved me in ways I canāt explain

Watched a few episodes of black mirror, so far so good
Finished it this evening unraleable some real salt of the earth fans and staff in the canteen and offices. The CEO came across as a slimy character.
Iām on episode 7. I think theyāll just about survive.
Gibson went completely Wolf of Wall Street on it
