Spurs Amazon Documentary?

Rachel! How do you spell that?

To be fair, Rachel and Rachael (and probably RayChell these days, bloody young uns lol) are both commonly used spellings.

I thought it was fascinating, I think we saw a lot more of the human side of the club we all love and yeah it was a good marketing ploy and yeah Levy comes across as a decent human, rather than the hard-nosed negotiator and ruthless businessman that he has a reputation for but that's fine, it was a PR exercise which didn't make the club out to be a laughing stock, which could have happened.

Standouts, Mourinho, undoubtedly the start of the show and it's interesting seeing him work, from the digging out of Dele on day one to the full contact training match in which Dier injured Sonny and Moura wanted to take out Aurier.

Tanguy, he's unhappy, that much came across in the weird Brent style Levy tête-à-tête but he's unhappy because the manager isn't picking him (if we take that as a true account), hopefully, he can start training hard on the training ground and show why we paid so much for him...the talent is definitely there but is the desire?

Yesterdays defeat will have hurt, Hugo, Kane, Dele, Son, Dier are all winners, all ready to push their teammates further, I'd like to see that from Toby, Winks and Sissoko too but I'm not sure it's in them, hopefully, we can add Højbjerg and Doherty to that winner and vocal list and I think Davies will be professional enough to be dirty enough when required, I just don't think the pace or talent is there if I'm being brutal.

We have a superstar manager and we should have superstar players but they're not match fit and I don't think the season is over after one game, against an actually impressive Everton side who may actually challenge the top 4 this year (their squad is lightweight so I don't think they will manage it).

I think Sess will come into the side more through the season as Davies' lack of pace shows through and we get mildly predictable going out wide right for most of our attacks, we may not be as solid defensively but he will scare many RM/RWF and push them back.

Rose...love the guy, love his honesty and I love he was unhappy not playing but he wanted what Walker got and when he didn't sign a new contract it was always game over for him, sad how it has turned out. Maybe, there's a way back but it would be a million to one shot.

As a propaganda piece of our shittest season for a long long time, we came out alright and that's all we can ask for.

I think if Bale is a genuine possibility we should take it, it's not my money but if you're building the Spurs brand then a genuine Galactico and former Spurs player makes business sense to me, CL money counts for a lot, especially if hopefully we can have fans back in the stadium before the end of the season.

Talking of bringing players back, I'd have Christian back, Inter want to sell at a profit and that's fine, we know a committed Eriksen is one of the most gifted creators in the Premier league, his stats back that up and with 4 years on his contract we could have sold him for £80-£100m, that much talent for £40m with Inter already giving us £20m again it makes business sense.

Sorry started talking about the doco and kind of went into wishlist...but hey that's football. Plenty of kneejerk around after just 90mins of football but the season is long and we have a top manager, with top talent. We'll be competing for the top 4 and with Bale and Eriksen, that would be guaranteed.

Oh and sign a striker ffs Levy

It’ll strangely become a covid-19 historical piece. Can’t imagine there’s that many documentary shows that showed people reacting and talking in workplace about covid-19 as it spread and lockdown began.

Thought these last 3 episode were the best as it felt really raw and included a lot more than I thought it would.
I don’t really get the players though, Jose seems all about high intensity and aggression, the players do actually seem to care. They fight, argue etc yet on pitch we get lazy performances.
Just think minute game starts going against us we can’t get going. Watching that has allowed me to get over yesterday and made me hope that at very least we’ll start showing some fight when match fit.

We have spent in the last 12 months circa £140m of net investment in the team...which everyone seems to forget



Yeah Levy made sure that made the final cut alright.

I enjoyed it.

Will there be more episode coming or was that it?

That’s all of the episodes, assuming you’ve watched all nine.

God that fucking line irritated the shit out of me. Said it with such disdain. Seemingly forgets how that money was raised and the expenditure the year prior.

I really enjoyed it.
I think Jose needs time, I hope he is ready to persevere, I think he underestimated what he inherited, you can see he is a winner.
It's been obvious for years we lack the mentality to get over the line, too many nice guys, I hope with everyone fit plus a couple of additions we can win something this season.
Looking forward to seeing lo celso fit, a few snippets in the doc showing his good spell, driving us forward.

Having seen the whole thing now, the last 3 episodes were a little more engaging than the first two batches, but the temperature still never progressed beyond tepid. It wasn't dramatic enough to be one of those "we're going to get a great narrative out of this" documentaries, and on the other hand it wasn't insightful enough to be a true warts-and-all expose of the inner workings of a Premier League club. Mediocre.

Jose was fucking pissed off half time v the spammers

Favourite quote from episode 8 from levy during the finance meeting - “we have spent 140m on the squad, which everyone seems to forget” ?
Of course that made the cut

After not spending anything in the earlier windows. Crazy.

Donna Cullen seems like an absolute piece of work lol.

She seems clueless too. Asking the most stupid questions which I’m surprised they didn’t edit out as it made Levy look like a money obsessed pr*ck in the face of Covid.

Yea was such an idiotic question from here, of course Levy would prefer the fans to be coming to the games, if she can't understand that I really question how she's on the board.

Watched it now, he's just a nice boy exactly as I would've thought, not a good captain or much of a leader but didn't expect him to be, what is your point that he's too soft for us?

Click to expand...

its more just the winks bashing that was going on, and then the segment describing him as much improved/forward passing etc. He definitely comes across well himself as expected

This series would have been much improved if it had the Line of Duty "Cliffhanger" music.

To be fair, with the amount of shit he gets, he had a right to say it.

If it was me i'd say the same. And probably put an "ungrateful ****s" in there

LEvy to Jose on Winks: "He must run a lot..." (nodding)

wtf.

And yet we earned £200m from 4 successive seasons in CL.

Just found it funny that he had to make a such a massive point of it, it was so forced.
