Was a fake scene though, those pundits were not real pundits.
Was it? Still, we know that there is a consensus amongst a not insignificant proportion of fans and pundits that it is the case that he is 'past it'. Results are what will change that though: nothing else.

I hope that wasn't staged because that would be all the motivation anyone would ever need to prove those fkers wrong.
The part where he turned the TV off and said it was but he certainly feels that way.

He will hear people say this about him regularly and he's certainly out to prove them wrong.

People love to hate Kane. Literally any excuse to put him down and they are on it in a flash. I personally don't get it but it's just how it is.

When most of the thread (or content on here) is constant snide remarks about how people talk, their personal appearance etc, it isn't really a surprise. It's like listening to bullies in school, except most people are well past that stage in life.

I'm willing to bet there's not a single person throwing criticisms about that wouldn't look better on any 'behind the scenes' cameras. Jose comes across well because he's both naturally charismatic, but also media trained and has spent the last 16 years or so with a camera in his face.

Watching the first 3 episodes made me realize how much I’m gonna miss Vertongen - fucking legend, I think he knew he’s time was up though

Also that Aurier goal against olimpiacos was sublime, wow I can watch that the whole day

Walker Pieter’s came across incredibly camp too

I think also that players are often scared to let their guard down in case they end up saying something that will end up all over social media. I think that Harry came across pretty well considering that it's hard not to feel self conscious in those situations.

I have to admit I was a bit disappointed with Dier's reaction to that substitution. It must have been hard to take, but I consider him one of the "leaders" in our dressing room. If that ever happens again I hope he is up supporting the team instead of sat there sulking and feeling sorry for himself.

Then again it could have just been negatively edited of course.
Going to defend him a little here.

In the last year under Poch, he'd been continuously injured and then left out so much by that point, he was probably doing a lot of soul searching and either thinking it's time to move or trying to understand what has happened to him.

To his credit he has responded brilliantly and will probably be our no.1 CB now.

Probably why some of them are anonymous - likely that agents would be advising people like Eriksen to keep their head down.

I think I’m going to use the argument that I’ve been ‘negatively edited‘ more in day to day life.

Watched the 3. Nothing earth shattering so far. It’s been suggested that it’s a very sanitised version of events but perhaps football has become so sanitised that this is actually how it is. Let’s be honest, lads in their 20s going about their working day are hardly going to be exhilarating viewing. Some things that needed to be said were said, good to see. Levy is probably the best CGI has to offer but he’s still not quite convincing. 6 episodes to go and then the fall out over editing and who was misrepresented. Meh. It is what it is but for entertainment I’d watch The Last Dance again.
It is all about entertaining and another little string to our interest of Spurs ...

I wonder if Levy, Jose and players have all had preview screenings of the episodes, or are all watching them as they are released like we are?

I'd happily watch a gogglebox style fly-on-the-wall programme of them watching the All or Nothing series about themselves. Would they be surprised to see their own on-screen reactions... would Serge cringe seeing his drink spillage incident and being told Jose's afraid of him giving away a shit penalty? Would Kane think he needs to improve his pre-match speeches? And would Ndombele watch his canteen performances and feel hungry again? ??

That piece with Sky Sports saying Jose was done and him saying fuck off didn't seem right to me.
The SS side of it sounded like it was read from a script, not a studio discussion.

I don't see what that is supposed to be doing to change anyone's mind - the conversation is so unnatural and the inflection of the "is that really the football Tottenham want to play" is someone reading out an opinion as if it's their own, and I've never known anything that unnatural to be on a respectable broadcast.

So, the options are:
- He was watching something very badly produced;
- They have dubbed the audio over the top of maybe Charlie Nicholas or someone to keep it more anonymous, or;
- It is a bit of fiction used for effect.

I think there's a reason why they show things like SSN on all other shots, but at no point do you see the TV on or any visual hint of what is on it or who is speaking.

I remember seeing the discussion.
