Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Thought it was weird they were playing a Mourinho highlights reel in the canteen....seems a lot of the players thought so too...

They're probably just watching Sky Sports (who would have obviously been covering Joses arrival at the time) rather than club propaganda.... and likely have a remote so when the cameras are gone they flip back to Teletubbies.

It's not Clockwork Orange.
 
They touched on a lot of stuff in the first 3 episodes, is there enough content left to make the whole series interesting?

Well our performances under Mourinho are about to get a whole lot worse and we get knocked out of the FA Cup and Champions League.

But we get to see the little angel that is Giovani Lo Celso come to prominence so it could get fun!
 
This might go against the grain of most people, but the doc is making me understand, granted only 3 eps in and less than a year of him being in charge, that the Jose appointment was absolutely the right hire for this time period of the club.

The behind the scenes access opens up a more 4d version to what people think they know is going on in the background.

Though, one thinks this has been polished and managed by Mr Levy quite well.
 
Suggest the other way around. The only reason for this was because this is what I was recommended lol. But seriously it was because there was a growing conspiracy growing amongst Spurs fans in that Levy hired Jose solely down to improve the documentary ratings!! They were very open to when they started filming and how open Spurs were in allowing them access. Our fanbase is literally no different to the scum up the road nowadays isn't it?

Either way, it was dealing interesting listening to them and good questions asked by Flav Flav

Cheers buddy
 
That meeting where he told them too many of them were hiding... and Harry agreeing and telling his teammates it was unacceptable... loved it.

By the way, Jose masterclass touch early when he took Harry aside and said you need to be a global superstar by winning titles. You are the man. Got his buy in immediately.

(Heads up...Don’t read it you haven’t watched it)

Harry coming out and saying without being told to get involved was excellent to see. It didn’t surprise me that they were all just happy to sit there and not engage, but with Harry taking the onus to it really shone a light on them which they need as professionals.

With the signings of Hart, Doherty and Hojbjerg I get the sense that we now have a few more voices willing to respect the manager but also speak up themselves without needing the manager to allow them to do so. If that can spread throughout a few more maybe it will shift the mentality in all the positive ways required.
 
Levy comes across as the sly cunt that he is.
Not only did he not back his manager but he let the squad rot with an unprecedented level of under investment.
But you won't hear about that though. It's all "the facts are results are poor. My heart said no" blah blah. Snake. If you can't see how fake he is then I don't know how some of you lot get through life. He's a greedy businessman whose best work has been convincing the fans he's one of them to the point many become fans of him.

Jose seems to be doing alright with the players mostly.
But let's be real. He almost always needed money and more money than his rivals along with better players.

Can he rebuild on a budget and bring us success?
Well his defensive football is about playing the percentages, not overly committing, staying compact and countering. This works a decent amount of the time. We'll pick u a win, then draw, then lose, then win again etc. More often than not we'll win as we have better players. This is good enough for top 4 and to fluke a cup via bus parking.
We're not getting anywhere near the league though. City and Pool are putting up totals Jose never did even when he had superior resources to rivals.
Will Jose give us a new more attacking, less passive style? I doubt it but in his defence it did appear he was trying to get the team to press and preseason further suggests that.
