Spurs Amazon Documentary?

I love how shit Burnley’s away dressing room is with the pillar right in the middle of it. I wish we’d emulated that in our away dressing room at the new stadium. We should make it as shit as possibly allowed for the opposition.

Signing Bale is just a negotiating tactic in the talks on renewing All or Nothing for another season.

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.

Made him look?

Yeah I was surprised she asked it too.

Changing space on top of the skywalk. No covers. No heaters in winter. Reflectors in summer.

Kane's "Gender reveal" scene...

WTF is it with Millenials and Zoomers? Half of them do cringey Gender reveals like anyone gives a fuck. The other half think gender doesn't exist and JK Rowling should be burnt at the stake for thinking blokes with cocks shouldn't necessarily be allowed in female toilets.

Ffs..

It's not at Burnley levels, but when I did the tour of the new Spurs stadium last year the guide did mention that the Away dressing room had been deliberately designed to be less comfortable than the Home dressing room; with one example being that the Away dressing room doesn't have a door (it's just an opening at the end of a short corridor off-shoot) so that opposition teams don't feel like they have their own space/privacy.

Hopefully they allow the stewards in to take a massive dump in the toilets and stop them from being able to be flushed.

Amazon absolutely kicking themselves, could have had TV gold in the season we reached the CL final and this season, instead they recorded the shit season with Coronavirus interrupting it half way through.

Whilst I found the whole thing fascinating, I wouldn't want a second season. I'd love to be a fly on the wall, but the dressing room will be happier without all those cameras making you feel self conscious. I'd rather we had a happy dressing room, which is beneficial for the team and the club, rather than know what's going on but it being detrimental to the Club.

Jan made me cry.... I hope he knows how much we love him.

I think this is the worst appointment of Levy's tenure

George Graham, David Pleat, Jacques Santini, Timothy Sherwood.

Just wanted to let you know why I rated your post 'funny'

To be fair, Sherwood has much better record at Spurs than Mourinho, and at least we tried to attack, and Pleat was actually decent for us, at least on one of his spells. Levy didn't appoint Graham, but agree that period was poor, as was the Santini 8 games or so, but at least that led on to my favourite period of the tenure (Martin Jol's)

Reguilon actually should help enormously with the style of football, and that could help me change my opinion of the current tenure.

Kinda jokingly, reading through the feedback some of you are having on this I do have to wonder, how many documentaries have you guys watched in the past?

Like, yeah... it's edited. That's what all documentaries are. They tell a story. Even the ones that you feel are 'so real' or whatever... still edited to tell a story. I mean logistically as well, this is what, 9+ months worth of footage condensed down into a little under 9 hours of television where they're only showing the 'good/interesting parts'? No shit it's edited.

I also think the whole staged/PR spin thing is an interesting take. Other than maybe Danny Rose, who was going into this expecting anyone to go on a full on Tottenham bashing? Even with the Ndombele part, was anyone expecting him to go 'I fucking hate it here, this club is awful, fuck Mourinho'

As a documentary, it's pretty good I think. As others have said it humanises the players quite a bit and does show more of the behind the scenes of the club and is a nice starter insight into the club/how a football club is run.

As a Tottenham fan watching it, it reminds you how turgid last season was and gives you so many moments when you wonder 'what could have been?' especially with all the injuries and everything. I legit feel that if it was almost any other season we'd have all enjoyed it more. Cause of course we would have wanted to relive it all again. How many of us really wanted to relive us losing to Norwich in the FA Cup?

As a PR stunt or whatever for the club, it works well enough. We come out of it looking alright. Levy doesn't cover himself in glory but I kinda defy you to find any chairman who's not a bit weird. Mourinho is charismatic as hell so his stock comes out completely fine, if not better. Players seem fine and the club generally might get a few more people liking us. Doesn't really make anyone hate us or anything.

Amazon lucked out with which season they picked for us. Cause they got to do a whole manager sacking, team is up and down form and then the fun of a pandemic and lockdown so they've come out of this well.

The Last Dance is still gonna be the sports documentary of the year for me but All Or Nothing is entertaining enough.

I like this post but you didn't mention the acting. Come on, there's some seriously high quality thespians at the club and I fully expect some of them to be recognised at the Grierson awards next time around

The dier/son incident was poor. I don't like the way jose was laughing about it. They should be training smart, not going out there to injure your own teammates with bad challenges. Son had every right to be pissed. Jose wouldnt have been laughing if that resulted in a fracture.

Properly archaic stuff.

Can’t believe I’m actually bothering to watch it this morning after yesterday’s shit show.

Episode 7 is a painful watch - I completely forgot we lost 4 games in a row.

My wife commented on my miserable demeanor and shitty responses on Monday night by saying "Why are you watching this programme if it puts you in such a bad mood?"

The combination of Sunday's shit performance and then watching episode 7 clearly put me in a foul mood! Thank god for the Bale developments to lighten things up this week.

I watch episode 9 now. I saw this mentioned, but I also just have to mention it. Fucking funny: Levy telling Ndombele his teacher told him to leave school at the age of 16. Isn`t Levy from a rich family? He was probably an "A-student" (don`t know if that`s an american expression? I`m norwegian).. Ha, ha.. He`s just making up a story!

NB! The analogy of a school experience is understandable, cause Ndombele is acting like an immature and stupid 15 y/o school boy.

 

[nikosramone]

There's a few things that struck me about the most recent episodes...

1) Why is Levy having personal meetings with players to discuss their loss of form? Surely that falls way outside of his remit as chairman...

2) Why Donna Cullen had to ask why Levy is so anti playing games behind closed doors

3) Jose really doesn't like that head physio

4) Eric Dier seems to be the only player that is listening in team talks. the rest of the teams body language (eyes glazed, slumped down in seats) seems to suggest they don't care for what the gaffer is saying...

5) NDombele really doesn't want to play for Spurs.

Sugar hired Graham. Pleat and Sherwood - no amount of booze can erase them from my mind. By far the two worst seasons under ENIC. Santini at the time seemed a masterstroke, who’d have thought that his tenure would end after a quarter of a season having been reprimanded by Mourinho for parking the bus ?. Thankfully it led to Jol, which is where everything good about the Enic era began.

More likely preventing Kane from buggering off

This part drove me insane. Maybe I fell for the TV hook, but boy, Daniel in my opinion couldn’t have looked more like a prick. First, not the way to manage a young personality from a foreign - delegitimization his emotions saying “We know you’re talented but you’re not working hard enough.” It’s very clear from the fucking sidelines this player has struggled physically and emotionally. Second, your personal bullshit experience as a kid in school can no way can relate to this guy.

Lastly, Daniel is clever because you know he knows fans can’t stand him, and know that every word out of his mouth is calculated to show that this job is difficult and he cares about the club. My biggest take away is he knows business well beyond anyone I know and knows how to run a business, but god damn all he focuses on is the numbers.

Yeah his dad, a second-generation clothing retail business owner, ran the rather unsexy but popular menswear chain Mr Byrite ("the Skoda of the high street"), which Daniel turned into Blue Inc when he took over to make it, ahem, cooler (they probably don't have them in Norway, but it's very much not cool).

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.
