I'm a twit
On the tiger king program now, didn't realise it was this oddball from the Louis Theroux programme.
I'm 10 minutes into the new season of Sunderland 'Til I Die and it's already clear that Charlie Methven and his maroon chinos is going to be the pinnacle here.
Just finished Premier Passions which has set me up wonderfully for season 2 of Sunderland Til I Die.
The Rocky training montage episode of the Mandalorian has arrived. As stiff as Gina Carano makes me, it still couldn’t save what was a fairly boring episode.

Watching Sunderland Til I Die so far has been like watching an Office Space type satire
The new marketing director wanting to make the Stadium of Light into ibiza is absolutely jokes
Anyone seen The Devil Next Door. I just one-sitted it, it was actually really interesting. Basically suspected Nazi war criminal wokring for Ford and living in Cleveland in the 1980's and is deported to Israel to stand trial.
Was really enjoying Sunderland til I Die, and then episode 3 has the warning at the start for ‘injury detail’ so that stops me in my tracks with it.
No idea what they’re on about there?
There’s nothing gory in it. Keep going.
Don't you remember that game when Luke O'Nien had his intestines ripped out by a passing killer whale?
I thought Shefki kuqi had retired?
Episode 5 has close ups of Nigel Farage. That should have a warning.
I watched the first season over the last couple of days. This had me proper lolling:
Started on season two today, Methven is a weird chap.
Oh and I loved that bit with one fan talk about Ovie Ejaria.
"They call him the English Pogba, like".
I watched on but on episode 6 now and switched it off at the doctor gowning up about to look at the Belgian goalkeepers “exploded” finger. Does it go gore in shit like that?
Gore
You see his finger. It's swollen and in a splint. That's about the depth of it.
This bloke watches NFL where people give themselves brain damage for 6 months of the year.
Giggles is a little princess.
I’m just not bloodthirsty. So many shows have to go with it as a gimmick these days instead of working on a good story.
You seem to moan when you see a stubbed toe in TV/Movies.
Finished Justified last night. It really is very good.
Not sure what to watch next. Has anyone watched Lost in Space on Netflix?
I can’t look at Jonny Williams without seeing that gimp from Made in Chelsea.
Coleman’s bird is some bit of biscuit.
That was very good. Into series two now and looking forward to seeing if the new chairman lad (the posh one, not the owner) ends up as much of a spoofer as he’s seemed already.
Jack Ross can consider himself harshly treated imo.
lol at the Will Grigg signing.
Can’t help but like Sunderland watching this but I suppose every semi big club is the same.
Frig. I'm signing up for Netflix for this.
The camera work is a bit more hollywood in the second series. Loses a bit of the realness and it feels a bit scripted, even though you know it isn’t.
Two episodes into Sunderland Til I Die's first season. That didn't half go to shit quickly.
The Checkatrade final episode was brilliant.
Seeing Methven get ever so slightly agitated and his partner try to calm him down

Stuff like that is why I've learned to suffer in silence at games.
Reminds of a few marketing consultancy types I've since being down here, his obsession with Ibiza in particular. Harking after the couple of summers when he was doing industrial levels of coke in clubs as opposed to industrial levels of cocaine in bistros...
I enjoyed seeing the seafront hotel I stay in when working in Sunderland used by the management team ahead of the first game, truly the only place I have ever managed to find that's not on a ring road.
Just finished it. Not as good as the first season, but still enjoyable. Methven really is a grade A cock. His behaviour in the Checkatrade final was ridiculous for a club director.
American Factory documentary on Netflix is pretty interesting and a stark reminder how much it would suck to be Chinese.
My favorite part was the American supervisor going over to China and walking into a high level meeting wearing a Jaws shirt.

I'm almost through. I think he's extremely aware of wanting to come across as A PROPER FOOTBALL FAN in spite of his spivishness. Went a lot less plummy at the town hall meeting.
Jack Rodwell is such a cunt. EDIT: Okay, Robin's finger operation wasn't gory but metal splints being put into fingers still makes me wince.

Am I being incredibly naive but how did the offer go through for the young striker to Bordeaux when the owner knew nothing about it? Would he not have to accept the offer and sign paperwork?
I assume he signed a contract with them to join in the Summer as his contract was expiring and when they realised they attempted to sell him straight away to Bordeaux for as much as possible.
