'All Or Nothing' - discussion of documentary

Strange Pep never seemed bothered about any opposition during the season until Liverpool in the Champions league, and was too honest about that on camera.
Don't forget it was edited retrospectively and they have to have dramatic effect and they were some of the most crucial games of the season. I wouldn't read too much into it, he was warning about Chelsea at half time in our home match when they barely crossed the half way line.
 
I love Vinny but his knowledge of South African history isn’t what it could be
Without wishing to turn this into a political thread. I suspect he was trying to get tothe essence to explain to the school children about Apartheid and Mandela when asked rather than give a detailed explanation.
 
Watched the lot and my wife and I really enjoyed it, but, I'll probably not watch it again. It has a handful of revealing moments, most of the Pep team talks are made incomprehensible by bad sound and Pep's all round incomprehensibility, for a documentary about a football team there's very little about football, so anyone coming to it not knowing much about last season probably won't understand just how monumental breaking all those records was.

Nothing about Sergio's taxi accident? I still don't know what Kiddo does, as for the attack on the bus, I'm none the wiser and would it not have added to the story to reveal that Liverpool went on to lose the CL final? Very little of anything was explored in depth, nothing about Pep's relationship with the media, or how the media treats us generally, the poor refereeing, the time wasting, the systematic fouling as a deliberate tactic, or our relationship with the football establishment.

On the whole a piece a corporate fluff sprinkled with fly on the wall camera angles and a bit of swearing, with a narrative bolted on for those who usually watch their sport eating popcorn and swigging Budweiser. There was just enough real stuff to make it look real, but it wasn't.

Oh! And Kingsley narrated it in his sleep.

It serves its purpose and will be consumed all over the world, but as a sports documentary it'll be forgotten.

And Palace.
 
Pep reminds me of Manuel out of faulty towers the way he jumps about! Lol

They say all geniuses border insanity! Pep is right on the line.
