The whole season has been storyboarded, scripted and financially influenced by the unscrupulous financial backing of Netflix.
The fixture list that conveniently had us both as the opening fixture
The late drama on that opening day
The Josh Maja saga and the Karlan Grant sale
The deviation from Sunderland 'walking the league' to 'blown it' to 'going up in the most occasion-impacting way'
The retainer paid to Roland to stop him selling so that we remain a more-interesting 'club at war'
The working of screen-friendly Jonny Williams back into being an impacting character
The fake coppers / security officer that cost Doncaster the semi
The ultimate showcase final that pairs two clubs in a rematch of the greatest club game at Wembley ever.
Its right there in front of us. The obvious 2nd series triumph in the bounce back of 1st series despair.
And there's nothing we can do about it.
18 tickets spare in the lower tier now if anyone is interested...

Is like the Mighty Duck films, we see the likeable Ducks losing the first game yet despite all the odds and a small bit of strange training they over come the bullying opponents
When we hear the Sunderland players / fans start going Quak, Quak, Quak before the game you'll all know its true
My lucky red pants that I wear to every game now have a gaping hole in them so are pretty unwearable (put my leg through them getting them on last week).
I may still wear them though. Will just have to hang loose for the day (wearing shorts will definitely be out of the question!)
