I've just got episode 6 to go.

Re: [LU] LU: Take Us Home
Amazon Prime is weird. I have Amazon Prime (because I keep forgetting to cancel it) and that normally means get free postage on some stuff. To watch it, I have to use my Xbox, which is just weird. Then when you get it, half of the stuff you have to pay extra for. Not exactly overwhelming. Pretty sure someone will have ripped it to a torrent? I can't bring myself to watch it really, a) it's commissioned by the owner, so as Sean said, sanitised and b) we all know how it ends (and Bielsa is hardly in it) They're doing it this season as well? Surely they'd have been better served doing last season as part of the overall narrative of going up? -Original Message- From: Leedslist On Behalf Of Guy Thornton Sent: 21 August 2019 09:14 To: leedslist@gn.apc.org Subject: Re: [LU] LU: Take Us Home Interesting.

While there are controversial episodes covered (Bamford's feigning getting whacked against Villa, Spygate, etc. etc.) there's very little new information revealed about these. (For instance, a more "newsy" documentary might have interviewed the intern/employee who actually did the spying against Derby.) Some important episodes are completely omitted. (For example, there is absolutely no mention of Jack Clarke's bizarre collapse on the bench at 'Boro, let alone an explanation of what caused it, beyond the vague "virus" that the club belatedly told us about.) - The series does not go into great detail about most of the squad or the backroom team. There's no mention of the under-23s winning the national championship, no real discussion of Carlos Corberan, Jack Clarke, Jamie Shackleton, etc. - It's a brilliant portrayal of the human side of the club: players, management and supporters. You'd need the proverbial heart of stone not to be affected by the scenes of the players and backroom staff in tears after the last Derby game. In particular, I came away with new respect for Kalvin Phillips, Liam Cooper, Marcelo Bielsa, Victor Orta, Angus Kinnear and Andrea Radrizzani. One can criticize various personnel decisions that Orta made, particularly in his first season, but watching him crying after the Derby game, one can't question his commitment. That guy cares. Also, the scenes with Bob Tappin made it worth the price (okay, it was free with Amazon Prime) on their own. Anyway, I came away feeling even more proud to be a Leeds United supporter, which I didn't think was possible after all these years. Cheers!

[LU] LU: Take Us Home
So I finally finished the documentary this evening. It's very moving and I would recommend it. A few observations: - It's clearly not a completely independent production. While there are controversial episodes covered (Bamford's feigning getting whacked against Villa, Spygate, etc. etc.) there's very little new information revealed about these. (For instance, a more "newsy" documentary might have interviewed the intern/employee who actually did the spying against Derby.) Some important episodes are completely omitted.
