Spurs Amazon Documentary?

Colonel_Klinck · Aug 31, 2020

Watched the first 3 episodes today. Much better than I expected, they have definitely made it appear better than it was football wise but a very interesting insight into what goes on behind the scenes. Levy appears more hands on than I imagined but maybe that is just for the camera? Its clear we are missing vocal players.

Genuinely LOL’d

I thought Aurier came across really well actually.

Right. I found his bit about is background etc. really interesting. Might not be the player for us, but seems like a good guy.

We have always heard he is hands on, but I agree, seemed a bit played up.

It’s a fascinating watch, looking forward to more episodes

I bet that pint was handed over when the camera stopped rolling.

Agree, in comparison to what I was expecting, and I was expecting the imperial march music to come on in the corridors whenever he appears, I think he's come across well.

Watched the first 3 now. (When's the next 3 coming?)

I didn't really know what to expect as the only other show of this type I've watched was 'The Last Dance' which was on another level and can't really be compared. But I'm loving it. Quite amazed at how much you get to see. I think every fan should watch this, so that a.) they can understand these are human beings, and b.) they enjoy a better understanding of how some of the things work.

Even though he probably edited himself to an inch of its life Levy came across as having the charisma of a corpse.

He's spoken of by a lot of people as being quite shy and reserved to anyone except those he's close to. I think it came across in Ep 1 at least (not seen the rest yet) that he seems to be quite a warm/friendly guy.

Let's remember that he's a short but very clever (academically) bloke who went to Cambridge - I wouldn't expect him to be some sort of mega personality who charms the pants off people. He probably just got his head down in life and doesn't come across as some sort of ladies man or lad's lad. Probably one of those who doesn't let his guard down unless you know him.

Really enjoyed the first three episodes. Really interesting seeing Mourinho having one on one chats with people, especially the one he had with Levy regarding Eriksen.

He seemed genuinely sad about having to sack Poch.

First 3 episodes haven't been as good as the Sunderland 'Til I Die equivalent.

I'm so relieved they have made it a positive show despite the awful shit on the pitch.

Jose is the star but I cant help but love all of our players. I actually got a little upset watching jan in episode three. He so wanted to stay, even talking about his daughter and now he's elsewhere.

Toby too looked over the moon when he got his deal which made me happy. Dele makes me laugh that he seems to laugh at jose all the time and serge is the moody fucker you would expect.

Again im so happy they haven't gone into the scandal and turmoil and just made it a fun and interesting look into our club.

I don't think Aurier came across as a "moody fucker" at all. I was very impressed with his maturity when speaking about his upbringing, he seemed to revel in the time he spent with the children with special educational needs also. He had a very jovial demeanour throughout, from the incident when he spilled the drink over "Jose's trainers" to the larking about with Dele in training.

If thats what you deem a "moody fucker" then....

Watched first 3 episodes. Wasn't going to but surprisingly enjoyed it and looking forward to watching more.
Agree it does humanize the players, Levy and JM. I like JM more and more which is something I never thought possible.
Its interesting that he picks up on things same as fans

Aurier, you scare me. Stupid penalties at any minute

lol. Not sure saying that in front of other players was the way to go but it was good to see he thinks the same as most of us.

It's a completely different show to be fair. All of the Amazon All or Nothing ones are heavily controlled by the respective club whereas the Sunderland one they seemed to give the makers the creative freedom to make it the way they wanted.

I agree though the Sunderland one is better for that exact reason. Based on the first 3 episodes, this one will be interesting up to a point especially as a spurs fan, but I feel like as a neutral it'll be nothing particularly special

Does it cover much of Pochs final few months at Spurs or does it focus more from where Jose took over?

Poch’s gone about 20 mins into first episode. It’s the Jose show

Sonny can protest all he likes ,he stupidly raked him with his studs!!!
Good to see him own up though later.

I'll be interested if he noticeably changes since going of and doing his military service basic training with South Korea. I'm not expecting him to come back a full on brigadier after a few months I'm just interested if he'll start demanding more of himself and his teammates.\

I didn't think I was going to watch this but after a bout of insomnia I binged all three.

For those disappointed in lack of Poch, I really don't think DL would have wished Poch to be seen in a poor light plus as soon as he was sacked by Spurs it would mean he's no longer contractually bound to the Amazon contract and all the releases that were in place plus any NDA's that go with putting someone on gardening leave etc.

IMO.

I think even though there was truth to that it was also a dig at VAR at least how I heard it, I don't think Aurier or others have fully interpreted it that way though. I'll listen to it again.

I wonder if things will pop up as sort of flashbacks regarding our transfer dealings or lack of (especially once H and Son get injured) I can't believe Jose won't say "what kind of top flight club has only one striker" or words to that effect.
