I liked Sakas frustration at his team mates not knowing what a maze is.
I agree with you in most parts but it is what it is. I suspect once you actually watch them they will be the same as the others, quite sanatised, heavily edited & fairly boring.Fair points and something I'm sure most people who have played at some level would agree with.
But to then put yourself in front of 10 cameras and have the world see it out of relative context is quite idiotic. These documentaries bng in some welcome monies I'm sure, but you lose the essence and soul of the club even more than the usual branding nonsense, because you're actually monetising the internal processes, something that should remain sacrosanct.
It comes off as twee and silly to most outside watchers, especially opposition supporters (regardless that Tuchel might be making little voodoo dolls of all his players in Season 3).
Not a fan, Jeff. Off with Amazon's heads.

Ole: "Will someone shoot for feck sake? Marcus you're 35 yards out, shoo.....nevermind, you always do. Donny, if you ever get minutes, shoot! Cath, if you're on reception, shoot!!"God he’s talking about pashun within the first 20 seconds of the first episode. I only wished we had done this during Ole’s reign. The team talks would have been incredible.
Course you canCan’t really laugh at them as ours would be a lot worse if did one of these “inside” shows for us.
... because they have no personality?Basically his method only works with younger players. No wonder he has to get rid of the 'big egos' in the dressing room, because they probably wont buy into his weirdness. Personalities like Saka and Smith Rowe are PERFECT for him.
Pretty much. They're like naive kids who will sit there and absorb anything you give them.... because they have no personality?
Bit of a leap that.Basically his method only works with younger players. No wonder he has to get rid of the 'big egos' in the dressing room, because they probably wont buy into his weirdness. Personalities like Saka and Smith Rowe are PERFECT for him.
Long may they stay naive if they keep having double digits seasons.Pretty much. They're like naive kids who will sit there and absorb anything you give them.
Dont get me wrong, Saka is a manager's dream. Too bad you cant have a team full of Sakas.Long may they stay naive if they keep having double digits seasons.
Finished the third episode, Nuno looks very introverted and his mistakes clearly didnt help... Ramsdale would get on my nerves very fast. Always seems wrong to hear GK shouting and ranting about the performances of guys who just ran 15km.
if it can bring the fans on board with the manager and the players, then why not?Starting of episode 3 atm and I am really loving it - would love us to have something like that soon with Manchester United also.
Why post this then?Not interested in the slightest about anything to do with the gooners.
They are our rivals and should be treated as that.
We can’t laugh at them because a hypothetical show about us might be worse?Can’t really laugh at them as ours would be a lot worse if did one of these “inside” shows for us.
I can't believe nobody has done this joke yet. It's a smart and subtle one but once you get it, you can't stop laughing !I can answer this question: nothing.
It’s just some entertainment. Calm down.Not interested in the slightest about anything to do with the gooners.

Worth a watch?Arteta comes across well and pretty likable after the first 3 episodes.
It's just a show on TV about a football club.Not interested in the slightest about anything to do with the gooners.

I'm really not sure what you expected. Arteta to throw a few DDTs on Auba or rugby tackle while dressed only in a towel and baseball cap?Said it before, this whole thing is another PR machine to show Arteta in good light. You could see the way when they lose camera focuses on players and how Arteta's cringe team talk is shown as a savior.
Honestly it's a smart move ny Arsenal. They are banking on Arteta and the best way to keep most fans buy into him is show him in good light. There is a reason even his cringefest things are shown in a positive light.
He has been backed by the club to the hilt now and this season is very important for him as well as the club. Some of their fans can pretend missing out on top 4 is fine if they achieve more points than last season but truth is it will be a massive failure and a huge egg on the club's face. You can run this PR only for some time. His PR has run for close to 3 years, now to walk the talk.
No doubt massively helped by some rousing strings on the soundtrack. The right music could make a man reading out his shopping list sound like the final scene of Dead Poets Society.I actually expected to hate this, find it completely cringeworthy and lose all respect for Arteta.
But it's actually really interesting, and I'm surprised by how well Arteta comes across. I still can't decide if he's a good manager, but I like the man. Compared to the out of context clips, I even thought the team talks were surprisingly inspiring...
Josh Kroenke, ơn the other hand, makes me feel sick every time he's on screen.
Oh of course. I know I'm a sucker for a well produced PR piece. But my expectations were Brendan Rodgers levels of cringe, and I'm relieved that I've come out of this not thinking that Arteta is a complete idiot and charlatan.No doubt massively helped by some rousing strings on the soundtrack.

Maybe Arteta missed a trick when he played YAWN. Should have used the documentary soundtrack instead.
I think a few words from a charismatic leader who you believe in could work quite well. Fergie and his “lads it’s Spurs” would be a classic. For a sport like rugby where they need to be at fever pitch from minute one I can see the need for a really passionate hype man (some good clips of rugby dressing room speeches over the years) but any speech involving flip charts and diagrams can get to feck, obviously.I honestly think an "inspiring" speach would be wasted on me, regardless of who was giving it. Even if it was Fergie in his pomp, although I'm sure in the moment it would be incredible but then you have to go and stand around for ages in the tunnel and start thinking about what's for dinner.
