episode 1-4 - imagine it won't be there for long

Dunno why but I can't work up any enthusiasm for this.

Maybe it's because I know how it turned out?

it's quite interesting in parts, better than most end of season dvds.

I would have loved to see our dressing room in the chumps league after the dippers defeats to see what the aftermath was.

The part where he discusses with with Torrent 4 questions he asked Raz after the Burnley match that ended the win streak was simply brilliant to watch/hear.

So much more to say as I'm back from holiday binge watching into episode 6, but bottom line is it can only give fans increased confidence in the manager's abilities/passion (throughout the series uttering many comments fans have felt and said or wish we could), the players, and the general way the club is run right now.

Briefly, I'd say yes it has blue tinted spectacles on in ways, but also provides incredible insights no one has ever had into this level behind the scenes of the sport as far as I understand. Neutrals will more than appreciate this and I think could see Pep, especially, in a newfound light of even more respect and appreciation.

I was just going to say, that's hands down the best end of season review we've had. Wasn't it the first we did on DVD as well?

Keegan was something else. That team was fantastic that he built. Just pure attack!

We just got shitter and shitter under Keegan.

Do I detect a subtle difference of opinion here?

I'd agree, but then I looked at who took over from Keegan and it was Pearce....

And as I recall, "moses" was desperate for Pearce to get the job.

Wonderful Wiki
"In July 2007, virtually a year to the day that he left the England job, Eriksson was confirmed as the new manager of Manchester City after signing a three-year contract worth £2 million per year, plus bonuses. He was City's first manager from outside the United Kingdom.[42] Before the season started, he signed striker Rolando Bianchi, along with midfielders Gélson Fernandes, Geovanni, Martin Petrov and Elano; and defenders Vedran Ćorluka and Javier Garrido.[43]

On 19 August, Manchester City beat reigning Premier League champions Manchester United to go top of the 2007–08 Premier League after three games without conceding a goal. Eriksson received the Premier League's Manager of the Month award for August. The club stayed in the top six throughout the rest of 2007, and were third throughout October and November, but fell to seventh on 12 January 2008 after winning only one of their previous five games.

In Spring 2008, owner Thaksin Shinawatra claimed that he would replace Eriksson after only one full season due to an "avalanche of very poor results which is unacceptable at this level". In the last game of the season, Manchester City suffered an 8–1 loss to Middlesbrough, the biggest defeat of Eriksson's career. Many concluded that the team had "gone on strike" as a symbolic protest during the game, although a red card for Richard Dunne after 15 minutes made the game difficult for City.[45]

Manchester City ended in ninth place in the league, one place away from the UEFA Cup 2008–09 qualifying positions. Manchester City subsequently qualified through the extra place awarded to the Premier League for finishing as the highest placed team who had not already qualified for a European competition in the UEFA Fair Play League for 2007–08.[46] Eriksson became the first Manchester City manager since 1969–70 to win both league derby games against Manchester United and also achieved the club's joint highest Premier League point total, 55.[47]

On 2 June 2008, Manchester City confirmed by club statement that they had parted company with Eriksson by "mutual consent", with Eriksson still having two years left on his contract.
Following news of his departure, the City supporters' groups organised a petition with around 14,000 signatures which was handed to the club."
Did you sign Mase?

Private Eye slips in a little dig

Cracking first episode, I hope the rest are the same.

Question, though. Is the show available to buy? I, for instance, would love to own this.
