    Starts in a couple of weeks, I’m looking forward to this. It’s gonna be a grim watch to be fair but from what I heard they also commissioned a second series for this season which will be a lot better.

    I'll watch it for the behind the scenes stuff but I'm not really keen to relive the depression of last season. If there is a second series it'll be a lot more enjoyable to watch.

    The behind the scenes stuff should be really interesting and it will interesting to see whether Short, Byrne, Grayson, Coleman, N'Dong, Djilobodji, Grabban and all the other villains of the peace do come across in the way that we all imagine they might.
    I just hope it's better than the Juventus documentary that was on Netflix. That was dull as ****.

    The first one was premier passions and we got relegated then, too.

    Hopefully it will be 3rd time lucky, if we are doing it for this season.

    It’ll be a class watch, now that we are recovering.

    The City one on Amazon was superb.

    Anyone watched any of it yet?

    Watched the first 3 and it’s ****ing fascinating.

    2 things are immediately and abundantly clear.

    Bain was an idiot, didn’t have the first clue.

    Grayson was a decent fella but was blind as a bit and didn’t have the first idea about the scale of the task. Shocking appointment.

    Aye? What’s his name I’ll keep an eye out.

    I’m pleased to say the fans they have used and spoken to have come across really well, far removed from Sky hunting out the idiots.

    Daft as it is, and as if we didn’t know it enough, it doesn’t half bring home the scale of the club, and the catastrophic mismanagement of it.

    Just starting number 5, I’m trying to get my decorating done before the weekend but it’s a massive distraction.

    Just watched episode 1. It's quite poignant seeing all the pre season optimism, and knowing how your season turned out. I felt for the bird who said "it's like a bad relationship - they keep letting you down, and you know you should get out, but you can't."

    As a football supporter from the other end of the country, of a club (Saints) equally used to frustration and despair, I will definitely watch the rest of this series.

    Good luck for the rest of this season, was hoping you'd stop the skates from running away with the league.

    Finished it and it was a great watch.

    The way things changed at the end of the season made the ending perfect to set up the second season, couple of lovely parting shots at Short and Bain that only our fans will spot.

    Was really well done, well put together and produced.
