Loved it despite going in thinking I was going to hate it.

From the trailer and concept I thought it was going to be some bumbling stranger in a strange land slapstick. There was the slightest hint of that - I guess it was unavoidable - but couldn't be more wrong.

Football dramas and films nearly always get the on field action so wrong and false looking. Although far from perfect, they did a half decent, believable job. The training ground scenes were a bit cringey. Celebrating a goal in training as if they'd just won the Champions League...

The Roy Keane and assistant manager characters were brilliant and Jason Sudeikis stole the show as the American manager. Funny and likeable. Looking forward to second season. Thumbs up from me.
