I have only watched two and of course interesting, but somehow feel the Sunderland one was a bit more warts n all. Nick On Wednesday, August 21, 2019, 09:00:20 AM EDT, Jeremy Adams <jeremyadam...@hotmail.com> wrote: I've just got episode 6 to go.
Yes it's basically a puff piece to make Radrizzani look good (fair enough, he's paying for it!), also makes Orta look like a die hard Leeds fan, but it's better than watching Love Island or Come dancing. Bielsa has rarely given interviews beyond a press conference so I wasn't really expecting him to feature that much. Why is there absolutely nothing about Samu Saiz suddenly leaving? Seems like they have deliberately erased that from history. How did they select the Leeds fans to follow? None of them were really that interesting, the one I liked the best was Arvid Singh in episode 5 who'd come over for his first game, that was an interesting story. I would have liked a bit more background about the fans they followed, why they supported Leeds, where they were from, how it affects their lives etc. etc. Anyway, I'm hoping part two is better and isn't just another "Titanic 2" Jeremy ________________________________ From: Leedslist <leedslist-boun...@gn.apc.org> on behalf of Guy Thornton <guy.thorn...@inter.nl.net> Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2019 4:13 AM To: leedslist@gn.apc.org <leedslist@gn.apc.org> Subject: Re: [LU] LU: Take Us Home Interesting. I've seen various reviews and comments about the documentary. Some good, some less so. One of the criticisms was a lack of Bielsa, at least talking. The problem is how to watch it? I know it's on Amazon Prime which I don't have and anyway someone here has just tried taking out a trial subscription to Amazon Prime Video in order to watch it only to get the message 'This title isn't available in your location.' guy On 21 Aug 2019 at 1:38, seanscribe--- via Leedslist wrote: > So I finally finished the documentary this evening.
