Sunderland first team are playing against Newcastle u21s in the checkatrade trophy tonight 
Is that a big deal up on Toonside?
That looks a lot more like it for season 3. That gives me until Sunday to finish Billions so.
Is Billions worth persisting with? I watched the first series but didnāt go back.Damien Lewis has a face youād love to smack, even more so in Billions.
Very good I think.

Iām really enjoying it. Agreed about Lewis alright which is why I gave up on it the first time I tried watching it ages ago. That mouth is just so punchable. I gave it another chance because itās on my dodgy box and Iāve done 2.5 seasons in last 4 weeks or so. Iāve fallen head over heels in love with Wendy Rhoades though. I love her more than life itself.

I am watching āYouā at the moment. Surprisingly very good I think and I am completed bowled over by the Beck character.

Unbelievably sexy, but not in a slutty way. Smart as a button as well.

Season 2 is out now.
Three different quarter backs. None of them seem as annoying as that Malik cunt from the first season.
The lad at St John Boscoās looks a top, top player.
Mark Bain is based on the David Brent character, surely.

Watched the first two episodes of that Sunderland show and found it quite boring and disappointing.
I thought it was going to be all access, genuine fly on the wall based on posts here, but itās contolled access really.
You had plenty of āreal timeā set pieces to camera from Bain, Grayson etc so the crew was always present, but Bain told the cameraman to move away for the likes of the Ross McCormack deal falling through minutes before the transfer deadline passed.
Itās just kind of chronological little snippets of chats with various club personalities mixed with atmospheric shots of the city and (training) ground.

All it does is it makes you start questioning humanity. You see a significant number of vitriolic bottom feeders roaring and screaming at fellas trying to do their job while being understaffed and chronically mismanaged. Iām not sure the motivations behind allowing an access all areas fly on the wall documentary from a Sunderland standpoint but it canāt have helped the clubs image. The desperation levels on transfer deadline day was like a young lad in Coppers trying to score a 2 ton Tessy at half 2 in the morning.
Iām sure when they signed up Sunderland were arrogant enough to believe theyād bounce straight back up to top table.
Yes I found it dull as well and now that my opinion has been validated by @Bandage I can stop watching it.
