I've found it a bit dull so far. We are interested obviously because we are Spurs fans, but it's not a well made programme. It's been rushed out and certainly isn't something a non football fan would watch. I hate that they have used the club commentary, which is awful, and in reality I don't feel it reveals much. Predictably Jose is the star. There's a few mildly interesting tidbits and some of the chats with the players are good, but it's very PR (and, trust me I work in PR for a sports star, this has the club's fingerprints all over it). This is a long, long way from The Last Dance.

exactly it’s a PR show

As many have already commented on Twitter, it does feel a bit like All Jose or Nothing.

Can't help but feel that Amazon lucked out with his appointment, It's clear that him joining the club made Amazon's narrative very easy and judging by the response on socials, having watched the first 3 episodes many are now swaying towards the Pro-Jose side of the coin which is great work just in time for the new season.

We see him being light hearted, putting an arm around players etc

We see him tear into Dele and Aurier and immediately both respond with game winning performances, which appears to be great motivational man management. But for some reason we don't get to see Poch trying to get a reaction from any of his squad when results were going wrong.

That's me trying to work at home, but for various different theme songs that burrow into your head when they're on 10 times a day

I spent most of the weekend outside in silence working on the car/house and that first sentence has been bouncing around in my head like a game of breakout.

The other annoying one is "Katie Moraaaaggg"

And furthermore, do people actually have any idea how difficult or next to impossible it would be to script and time a live broadcast to occur at the exact moment he's sat at his desk. Not to mention the collaboration it would need between Sky and Amazon. It'd be an almost impossible stunt to pull off. It didn't happen. Put your tin foil hats away, this is fucking ridiculous, this is people desperate to read things into things that aren't there.

SC is famous for it's body language and facial expression experts, this is taking the tin foil hat stuff it to another level.

Comon ac. That bit where we got beaten by utd was clearly written by martin scoreseasy.

Can't fucking deal with Katie Morag. I'm okay with most of the programmes, but I'll draw the line there.

i think a lot of the speeches are staged, they lack conviction
Over the years I’ve seen a few reality tv shows filmed and everything is staged to fuck and it’s passed of as reality

But the sole purpose of the people’s in those shows lives is the reality tv show, our players purpose is to be footballers. Do you really think the likes of Kane and Jose have the time to sit there and worry about a narrative and learn scripts.

Some may have been played up for the cameras, but I bet the message behind them was exactly what was meant. Like the too nice comments, the being bastards and more aggressive, Dele being a lazy trainer, Serge scaring Jose about possibly giving away a penalty etc.

Mourinho: What about Christian? You think he will stay?
Levy: It's an impossible situation. Everything goes through his agent and there's no contact between the club and his agent. Have you talked to him?
Mourinho: Yes. We talked. Any player...six months left...it's difficult. I can talk to him again.
Levy: At least we can say we tried everything...
Mourinho: You know Jan is fucking his wife, right?
Levy: What???

When we beat Burnley 5-0, why do they say:

“First time a José Mourinho side has scored five goals in a game in any completion.” ??

Clearly total bullshit!
