Drinking game, whenever Kaluuya says Arsenal are a ‘young team’ take a drink.

You’ll be passed out by middle of episode 2.

I'm 2 episodes in and it's pretty dull tbh. Might be entertaining if you're just getting into football or are a massive Arsenal fanboy, but it's so heavily dumbed down and edited that there isn't much juicy stuff there.

I guess the most entertaining/funny aspects are Arteta's amateurish management talks but even they're not that entertaining - they're just a bit shit. It's not full David Brent like Rodgers and his envelopes or outrageous like Jose's "intelligent ****" speech. Instead it's generic corporate-babble and manufactured emotion.

Also not sure there's been a single mention of tactics or strategy which might be quite interesting. it's literally all surface-level stuff aimed at a mass-audience (which makes sense tbf).

Think I'm just gonna skip most of it and just watch the episodes where Aubameyang gets kicked out and their hilarious end of season collapse. Can't imagine there's much else to get excited about.

I love drinking games, may make it a whiskey shot

From the snippets ive seen, it does seem so staged and just so watered down, its more a soap than anything. Im going to double speed watch it i think - 2x speed. The pace at which lego man speaks - it will be like normal speak anyways the fucker.

To me it , the thing I noticed most is that Arteta and staff talk to the players like they're children. It's stands out once you notice it.

Other things

Saka and Tierney, possibly ESR and maybe possibly Ramsdale (though he's a big whinger) the only likeable people in it so far. Arteta is a cross between a corporate team bonding trainer an outdoor education teacher and David Brent. Aubamayang is a grade A dickhead. Even the doctor is a bit cringe.

At least half an epsiode concentrating on how shit Tavares is. A bit tight even if true.

Tierney eats too much chocolate and lives with the training ground chef

The training facilities and stadium look like a regional sports centre built in the mid 90s. porthole windows in all the doors. And someone needs to clean the moss and mildew off the white walls near the entrance.

The main takeaway is the entire squad looking bemused at Arteta's waffling most of the time so far. And it's his waffling that is taking up most of the show. Almost about him more than arsenal.

That comment made me laugh more than it probably should do!

I think when the teams aren't good they make the programme about the manager rather than any achievement, because there isn't one. They did it with mourinho didn't they.

Arteta best artist

 

[spurs mental]

Honestly they are the weirdest set of fans in the world.

 

[KaribYid]

Noticed in their All or Nothing doc that for the 5-0 loss v City they showed the goals but none of the dressing room reactions or fall out after it. Can imagine that's the route they'll take when covering us smashing them at the Lane.

 

[Ndombers]

Why would you not watch it?

I can't wait! It's gonna be hilarious.

What is it, 10 episodes? Fuck that. I only watched the first couple of ours.

As someone said I'll wait for someone to make a montage

Just respond with

"Arsenal have had more registered sex offenders than European trophies."

 

[riggi]

Heard it’s boring.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Arteta draws cartoons for team talks I take back all my praise about their pre season, we will be just fine finishing above then again ?????

they are or are not?

Quite. They won the league at the end of episode 2 and I hope it just ended there. ?

 

[Cavehillspur]

I just seen a clip of them celebrating in changing room like theyd won the title, after beating Leicester. Starting dancing and singing chanting to have 2 days off, with creepy Uncle Mikel prancing around in the middle like a clown, cringe.

 

[WePlayWednesday]

I’ve not seen this comedy show yet, but I’m looking forward to it. It’s been fun reading everything you lot have written, keep going?

 

[Serpico]

Don’t like Arteta - talks in a tone that doesn’t motivate. They had to use subtitles on occasions which is odd.

 

[glacierSpurs]

To be fair, lego head spoke very well when he talked about wanting ESR to improve as a person more than as a player. That was rather inspiring. Perhaps he's better speaking to just one person. Him speaking to a big group is pure cringey... Trying too hard to motivate every single time.

 

[easley91]

Just starting it now. 4 minutes and Aubameyang's cars and dress is utterly ridiculous. Immediately comes across like a flashy ****.
