“All or Nothing” Man City Documentary Series on Amazon Prime
- Thread starter Man of Leisure

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I think it’s maybe the 2nd or 3rd episode. It’s the first Manchester derby at OT. It’s actually a really good docu series and I would say well worth a watch, I’m only on episode 5 but so far it’s been really intresting.

Think a lot of the nastiness on here is because we watch how our team play after watching how City play. Simple really.
His behaviour indicates massive amounts of cocaine abuse.
It is internet 101 - 'don't feed the troll'
Wouldn't surprise me. A lot of people in leading positions who need to always be confident in their mannerisms seem to take it to give themselves a confidence boost. At least the more intelligent ones who actually are capable of self doubt, people like Trump on the other hand don't seem to need it because they are really convinced that they are the shit.
They're all cnuts and they win the league by miles.
Each to their own - however I don't think anyone is 'pathetic' for taking an interest in a football show - especially against a bitter rival.
Also United do not get narrated a park the bus club - Mourinho's tactics do. And it's not done that harshly.
And as for 'little old city' can't afford the player - again it's not as bad as you describe. They just say the economics don't work for them. And it's right - in their situation - why pay for him?
Personally I'm finding the series really interesting - more for the little details like how they dry their boots etc.
Does it show any of the players taking injections? Joking.
Imagine if United done one of these, be a fecking Oscar winner. Got Woodward and the Glazers slowly stabbing Mourinho in the back, Mourinho bollocking his players constantly, Lingard sat in the changing room on Snapchat doing Delli Alli Challenges, Luke Shaw getting Maccies delivered from UberEats constantly and the player reactions to getting dominated by the likes of Brighton.
Amazon, what are you waiting for?

Take away the billion quid of oil money, where is the documentary now? It's a fake plastic club. Everything has been manufactured. Nobody there supports city they are all hired hands filling their pockets.
I love these series (Arizona Cardinals and All Blacks ones were exceptional) but no fecking way am I watching this.
Actually it does.

No wayWell perhaps im more cynical than you but the scene discussing the economics of it to me is absolutely blatantly loaded and the united bit is so obviously un necessary. Incredibly kind of you, borderline naive, ti assume its not.
Ived outlined in the post you quoted why i feel its pathetic to indulge in it as a united fan. That wont change for me.
I thought the Jose thing was kind of harsh myself tbh, not as bad as many are making out but unnecessary.
Dunno if this was City or the writers/directors though trying to make it a good guys vs bad guys thing to hype the game. That said its probably an Amazon production thing as United were the only club to ban filming and they were getting a little dig back.

Loved episode 7 (we beat them twice). Delph seems like a big voice in the dressing room.
I've watched it and really enjoyed it. I don't think the players have a scooby what Pep is actually saying though. Most of it is just rambling
Glad I'm not the only one that sees it. I mean there's so many clips of him doing weird stuff that you only see people on drugs do.
For example, take a look at this youtube.com/watch?v=QIieXhN7aeg
It was 4 times the size of a horse tranquilliser needle! I'm not exaggerating.
I'm actually thinking of watching one or two just because i love behind the scenes stuff like this. I hate these cnuts and that's why i haven't watched it already, but i also love the sport and the work that goes on behind the scenes. I'll just skip past most of it and just get to the bits i'm interested in. The tactics, team talk etc.
I specifically wanna see how he reacts to losing games and particularly getting knocked out of the Champions League.

It's nice how many utd fans want to increase the ratings for this show and city in general .
Personally I wouldn't watch it under gun point

Thanks, nice read - not really football related, mind you.
Delph spends most of his career in the dressing room having moved from Villa, a club he said he would never leave, obviously for the money.
I’d rather watch an autopsy than a self publicising City programme. Have they shown us winning at the Emptyhad? Has the owner shown up yet to gloat over his £3bn investment?
There’s some propaganda and pettiness involved, naturally, but it’s worth watching to see how they’re leaving our club behind in the dark ages. It is what it is. Bury your head in the sand if you must.
What matters is that City fans can be happy with the documentary. If one was made on us at the moment it would be as cringy as that Liverpool one where Brendan Rodgers assumed the role of David Brent.

TXIKI: "Good news, everyone! Sanchez has signed for United for £59m a week! They're ruining football."
PEP: "Right, I'm off to end world hunger."
*flies through window*
DR: "Hi, everybody!"
ALL: "Hi, DoctorNick Cugat!"

Little more than PR puffery as all home-made sports documentaries are... boring
He's very highly cognitively neuro. Been surprised by the purely emotive content of his team talks. It's obviously edited to make him look less of the tactical monster we'd all been told he was, and hence City are a 'peoples' project. But he moves those tactical bean counters around the whiteboard like a comedian doing it for random funny effect. I'm sure some of the players must zone out.
I'm sure the players zone out. I would argue that the importance of prematch and half-time talks is pretty overstated. Amazon barely showed anything substantive from their training sessions beyond some shots of goalkeeping drills and a few minutes on El Rondo... probably because City nixed it. I'm sure that's where you'd see the real meat of how Pep conducts his business
Episode 7 also involves an in depth look at the derby. City fans crying at the prospect of winning the league against United, believing the job was done at HT.
Delph's one of the angriest players after the game.
Don't confuse loud for big. Thought he came across thick as shit. Your typical jock footballer. Kompany, on the other hand, big voice in the dressing room and seems like a class act.
Yeah true but I appreciated what he was saying.
Agree re Kompany, he really does come across well throughout.
There were several comments/moments from Pep that kinda surprised me.
- Pep says to the camera "I’m going to tell you something that is absolutely true: I don’t have all the answers! Often when I don’t know something, I act in front of the players as if I do. I do it so that they believe I have the answers and that gives them the confidence to play.
- Pep says at halftime of some game that they're either tied or losing (paraphrasing), "I don't care about the scoreline. I just want to see my team play football. Where is my team? Show who we are."
- "Of course I'm going to defend you until the last day in our lives in the press conference, but here (dressing room), I am going to tell you the truth."
- "Some of you play better when you are angry with me. So if you hate me, hate me guys! No problem at all!"
- "I know your quality is there I know you are talented players. But to become a top top team you have to learn how to play football with courage."
- Pep shows a PowerPoint slide of every possible record that City could still break and whose record they'd be breaking. This was shown before they clinched, but after they got knocked outta champions league. Surprised me a little that he actually used that as motivation.
I enjoyed that (for many reasons) but I thought it was interesting that Pep cut him off initially to make it clear what Delph was saying (they stopped running) had nothing to do with why they lost but then let him finish his rant.
Who better for a PR project to narrate it than Ghandi
I skimmed through a couple of episodes. I just wanted to see the team talks at half time and full time. Also wanted to look into the tactics and what goes on in team meetings, etc - what he's like with the players and all that jazz. I didn't give a shite about the interviews or watching the highlights of the matches or any of that bollox. I hate the bastards, but i'm interested in the background stuff.
It's not a great show/documentary really. Highly sanitised (as you would expect) and they also kind of brushed over the Champiosn League exit. They lost but there was no deep dive into what was said. No full time team talk or anything like that. The main reason i watched some of it was to see how he dealt with a big loss and adversity. But i didn't get any of that.
Pretty shite tbh.
