Spurs Amazon Documentary?

[Gilzeanking]

So yes, he wouldn't have been hard-up. He also went to Cambridge – I've not made it to ep9 yet (I nearly fell asleep in episode 7) so don't know the context, but he very much did not leave school at 16 - he got a first in economics and then immediately joined the family business.

Yeh fuck knows what all this leaving school at 16 stuff comes from ..

I've not seen past Ep6 the wife insists she watches with me and she's got a lot of things on atm

Anyway , I think the doc is great . Yes we get bad results , but don't have to sit thru the appalling turgid football...er, result !

Haha. I mean, it's something to watch right?

Funny you say that about your wife, is she into football? As I've found that people who aren't that into football are enjoying it way more. There's a few women at work who have no interest in sport coming up to me saying, "You support Spurs don't you?", calling him "Winsky" and declaring their Dele crushes. They couldn't give a toss about the actual football, it's basically The Only Way Is Enfield.

I really enjoyed the first 3 but have found it's completely run out of steam. Episode 7 was possibly the worst one yet. It's just so bland. I fully intended to watch the final 3 last night but couldn't bring myself to do it in one sitting after that one.

Haha nah, had misread it as you’d not watched the last three, was going to disappoint you and let you know there were only two left ?

Ha, yes. I've done one of the final 3. Having read some of the chatter in here, it does sound worth finishing, but i'm not sure the pseudo-terrestrial '3 episodes each week' think really works. They did the same with The Boys and it's just irritating.

I thought the whole thing was worth watching. Enjoyed it despite some minor niggles and got me a big smile about Spurs to start my week off.
I know what you mean about the three episodes a week, but it just fit perfectly for me to watch Monday morning. Changed gym day to Tuesday and got in a binge of that weeks before work.
The Boys bloody annoyed me, they did three first week and then I settled do to watch the next three to find they’d only released one more... ?

She watches the matches with me...tho I'd hardly call her a football person overall.. then again she knows a fair bit , can name team/positions, knows offside etc. She's enjoyed seeing Levy talk and Jose is good television . Doc has got her hooked alright ,happy outcome I'd say .

Sorry to hear no 7 (our next) is dull tho .

People weren't watching/listening properly.
He said that, when he was 16, at a parents evening his head teacher told him that he would be better off leaving school as he wasn't going to be worth anything.
That became a catalyst that drove him on, resulting in top exam grades, university etc. etc.

Loved the ndom levy meeting.
Waiting for the big boss, Ndombele couldn't really be slumped any lower in his seat.
Levy appears, and the player liaison/translator bounces out of his seat to greet the man.
Ndombele manages to slump even lower in his seat.

Here he is falling asleep in one of mourinho's meetings.

I don't think any modern player should be a role model for anyone, but I think I'm going to have to make an exception for this guy.

Thanks for context, as I say not seen it yet. That seems believable - and his rich family gave him even more options to do just that. He didn’t need to be academically successful. But he was. And has ended up more successful and rich than any of us family by some magnitude on his own terms - his dad continued and expanded his father’s clothing business. Daniel thought bigger and outside what he may well have done if he had left school

Comes across to me as if he simply doesn't give a shit.
Even when Sissoko & Aurier were talking to him about having to adapt he didn't seem like it mattered.

I was watching and listening, and I don’t think the head teacher said that. That’s my point. But I might be wrong..

I always need a nap after my 6th big meal of the day too.

I’ll let you all know who’s right when I watch the next thrilling instalment!

Well, the question is more if Levy is making this story up or not. We will never know, will we? But a quite funny scene in the show.

He is 23 how mature was anyone at that age

Only just got round to watching the final three because after Everton, I just didn't fancy it.

The board meeting in Leipzig is one of the most staged pieces of television I've ever seen. Each of them asking each other pro forma questions about finances, implications and scenarios that every Spurs fan knows would have been etched deep into their brains. Oh yes, it's all so innocuous this running a football club for profit. Who me? Oh no, not me Guv, I'm here for Tottenham Hotspur: the finances are all incidental.

The 'we spent £140m net which everybody seems to forget' line at least shows that Levy's no deaf to the accusations leveled at him. What about the season before Daniel. And the one before that.

Was enjoying it before that bollocks.
