I think the soccer element is supposed to be ancillary unless it forwards the narrative.
This pokey little club shouldnt be troubling a Petro-State club like City in the first place, we're just supposed to look past that and focus on the story of the people in the show.
I get where you're coming from though, they vilified West Ham and Man City and thats going to rub a large chunk of people the wrong way. This is one of the dangers of shows like this, personally I think they've done it very well and very tastefully.
But I can separate reality from television...some fans are going to take this personally.
Their portrayal of toxic British soccer fans? Its not too far off the mark...
