Fear I'm going to get hammered for this but I found it a bit cringey.

Love the club and everything, obviously, but this seemed very sugary and over dramatised for my liking. Sorry.
Now that I have watched it I feel exactly the same, even before your post I had feeling it was going to be like that. The annoying background music plays for the entirety of the documentary actually I wouldn't call it documentary, I would call it a 45 minute advertisement, might do a good job of attracting potential investors.

That's exactly what it is. All the questions the journalist asks are a joke really, powder puff easy balls, and every possible angle is sugar coated. I enjoyed it as a fan would, but to call it an investigation is funny. It's clearly a PR offensive for the US audience ahead of the NFL deal. I mean, the title is our copyrighted motto.

Funny seeing John Fennelly tho, club historian who was previously the head of PR (which says a lot). He interviewed me for a job at Spurs in the press department straight out of uni back when Hoddle was manager. I didn't get it

Apart from the cringiness of the doc, I did enjoy it. Especially the part where the architect spoke about Levy's insistence on having the fans as close as possible to the pitch, the idea of the steep North stand has me in goosebumps. Can't wait to sit there.
