Yes probably lol but its a fairly well known in sports psychology that focusing on the negative is not a good way to go.
Was just surprised he does it so often. Or thats just what Amazon showed us.

Oh man, that Super Jan pic as a gift from the team. ?
Not sure why people keep comparing it to The Last Dance in a negative way, by the way...
One was the story of one of world sports best ever careers and after the dust had settled (and a contender for the best sports doc of all time to date), while this is a very quick overview of a short period of time at a club that's very much in transition and when everyone is mid-career.
It is what it is and I'm not sure why so many here were hoping for car crash TV.
Some bits I loved, some bits I didn't, but I love where this club has been heading and I desperately hope we win something soon and get there. The ambition has been pretty clear. ??

Yeah it does bring back how much shite JM has had to deal with but the squad is in this state because of 1 man and at the end of the day the buck stops with him. Joke really that Poch was sacked when the squad had been seriously underfunded.
Also bizarre as we were moving into this world class stadium, top 4 every year and yet we still acted like a mid table club with no money.
If a club is run well, buys well and has a good coach, the benefits come quickly. Unfortunately the opposite is also true and no matter how successful or how big you are, a few bad windows, wrong coach, poor management of contracts, and the whole thing unravels very quickly.
I think thats why we've suddenly seen a change of direction as far as investment goes. We simply cannot afford to fk around when we have a 70k stadium. We simply have to be up there, permanently.

Late to the thread but just finished the last episode... Australia is a long way away! Levy comes across as a careful but decent kindaguy. Mourinho is like one of those specialist American oil rig fire fighters. When they turn up with all their ego you just have to suspend reality and look at their record, hoping they will do the job for you. The modern reality of being a player on the edge of the squad came through in the eyes of those players. One funny aspect was the way they seemed to film most of the training on the same spot, right outside the front of the building, when there were acres of pitches onsite. My lasting impression is that for all the faux anger and shouting and booing we lack a natural leader, who should be the onfield skipper. A pity it didn't run on to the excitement of Bale's arrival.

Watching the episode again where Sacremento and Mourinho are talking about the team (Ep 1) and I was concentrating a bit more on their talk about Kane being a silent leader, the team being too nice etc.
I'm by no means fluent in another language, but I know some French and Spanish, and I would have expected they would talk in Portuguese, but it sounds like they're talking together in French? Thought that was a bit unusual.

Gotta admit - I'm a bit gutted the Amazon documentary wasn't for 2 seasons like the Sunderland one on Netflix!
I'm very excited and optimistic for this season and would have loved seeing it all come together in the transfer window, the return of Bale, seeing how our new signings changed the dressing room etc...

I just skipped through the episode to that bit out of interest (yes I'm bored). They're 100% speaking Portuguese.

Interesting. I don't know much Portuguese other than Bom Dia, but it sounded like a very feminine language like French (ending in softer "ehh" sounds rather than what I assumed would be more masculine in Portuguese "ohh" sounds )

Sorry mate, not really sure what you're getting at there with those noises but I promise you they're speaking Portuguese.
They're both romance languages, so there's a lot of similar (latin-origin) vocabulary and I suppose the way the French and Portuguese pronounce the letter J is sort of similar, which may be where your confusion is coming from..? Not sure where you're from but if you're more used to hearing Brazilian Portuguese, that sounds very different to European Portuguese so maybe that's thrown you off as well?
Either way, like I say I'm absolutely certain that they're speaking Portuguese. You're more that welcome to disagree though if you like

I have no idea - I wasn't disagreeing, purely elaborating on why I was thrown off by it

No they didn't. Our implosion last season was great advertising for All or Nothing. A documentary about a successful Tottenham team is largely only going to appeal to Spurs fans whereas a documentary featuring a Spurs shaped turd circling the toilet bowl appeals to everyone.
