We Are Newcastle United

I was looking forward to seeing which team would be highlighted for the 2022-23 season for this documentary format. Sadly this was disappointing choice. Why give Newcastle United this platform? This is Saudi "sportswashing" plain and simple. There are so many other teams to choose from. As mentioned, this is a PR campaign to try and legitimatize Saudi investment in a Premier League team. Most of the documentary covers the investment group trying to earn money instead of on the field action. I am curious of the money involved to get this produced. Now I feel in some way I am complicit for having watched this show.

A very interesting and insightful documentary into the day to day running of a professional football club. People will say what they will about the Saudi ownership but this is clearly not sports-washing. These people don't know the true meaning off the word. I found it quite pathetic how certain clubs tried to intervene with things to try and prevent Newcastle from competing, such as the sponsorship thing, when clearly other clubs such as Manchester City are sponsored by a company from their owners country. I like this clubs owners. Very professional and appear to have a great working relationship with the clubs staff. They have the best interests of Newcastle United at heart and that's great to see. Other clubs owners should take note (cough cough Man Utd, Everton).

Firstly while not a Newcastle United fan I was looking forward to this series, however I was left disappointed.

Total PR project, cameras on the owners during games, players going back to their communities. Only Eddie Howe come across as genuine and some of the fans, thankfully there was no Jason Tindall

The business side was interesting but there was too much of the board and not enough of players if you compare to All or Nothing.

We all know it's Saudi state owned so the 4 episodes tried to dispel this and brush under the carpet the human rights violations, the theme seemed FFP is stopping them doing what they want and it's all for the love of the fans, as I said total PR BS.

Nothing but true facts in this documentary and it hurts other clubs & fans. All the stops the "Big 6" tried to pull to stop Newcastle spending money while those same clubs spent hundreds of millions. Other fans of other clubs know this but there are a minority who are basically jealous. I am a Newcastle fan and I have always been proud to be. Heard nobody saying a word when Ashley was rinsing us but as soon as billions come Newcastle's way it is panic stations for the PL. Loved this Documentary with all the facts. If this was another club like Man City, I would watch it and give an honest review and not a bad one just because it wasn't the team I support.

This great series brilliantly captures the essence of the iconic football club. It not only delves into the thrilling matches and on-field triumphs but also provides a captivating glimpse into the rich history and passionate fan culture of Newcastle United. The storytelling is both riveting and heartwarming, making it a must-watch for football enthusiasts and even those less familiar with the sport. The series successfully combines drama, emotion, and the sheer excitement of football, making it a delightful experience for viewers of all backgrounds. I binge watched all the episodes without a break!
