Each season follows a different team, capturing the intense highs and crushing lows experienced throughout a season. With unprecedented access to locker rooms, training facilities, and personal lives of the athletes, coaches, and staff, the series provides a raw and unfiltered portrayal of the dedication, pressure, and camaraderie that define professional sports. From the strategic decisions made behind closed doors to the emotional moments on and off the field, "All or Nothing" delivers a compelling narrative that resonates with sports enthusiasts and casual viewers alike.


So which teams are you able to get behind the scenes with? If it's the Premiere League teams your chasing, then you'll be in luck of scoping out the locker rooms with Tottenham Hotspurs, Arsenal and Man City. Besides viewing training montages and reliving glorious games, the All Or Nothing docuseries allows us to see the magnificent journey of these clubs and players. With a strong mixture of highs and lows, each episode gives us an array of emotions, particularly when looking at the football managers such as Jose Mourinho.





José Mourinho's reign at Tottenham Hotspur, spanning from November 2019 to April 2021, was marked by both promise and controversy. Brought in to replace Mauricio Pochettino, Mourinho initially rejuvenated the squad, leading to a strong start that saw Spurs top the Premier League table in December 2020. However, inconsistency plagued the team, and despite moments of tactical brilliance, they struggled to maintain form. Mourinho's tenure was characterized by his trademark defensive strategies, public criticism of players, and a string of disappointing results in crucial matches. Ultimately, being unable to secure a top-four finish or end the club's long trophy drought led to his dismissal just days before the League Cup final. Having said this, the All or Nothing Tottenham Hotspurs documentary shows the prowess and hunger Mourinho had to drive the team. Although his departure left a mixed legacy, with glimpses of potential overshadowed by unmet expectations, Mourinho remains to this day one of the greatest's football managers.




In addition to managers of the past, we look into Mikel Arteta's journey as a previous Assistant Coach at Manchester City to the present football manager of Arsenal. With a new era of rivalry of teacher vs student, Pep Guardialo and Mikel Arteta have written a new story that will continue to fuel the football competition with fire and fight to be the best football club. The rivalry between Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta has become one of the Premier League's most intriguing narratives. Once colleagues at Manchester City, where Arteta served as Guardiola's trusted assistant, their relationship transitioned from mentorship to rivalry when Arteta took the managerial helm at Arsenal in December 2019. Guardiola's influence on Arteta is evident in Arsenal's tactical approach, emphasizing possession and fluid attacking play. Despite the mutual respect, their encounters on the pitch are fiercely competitive, with both managers keen to assert their philosophies and secure victories for their respective teams. Each match between Manchester City and Arsenal is a chess game of strategic adjustments and psychological battles, highlighting the deep tactical acumen and competitive spirit both managers possess. This rivalry not only adds spice to the fixtures but also underscores the growing tactical evolution in modern football. When watching the Man City episodes, we see how admirable Arteta is of his fellow colleague. Both being of Spanish decent, it is a heart warming feeling watching them interact as they prepare the team for competitive games . Having said this, we can't help but anticipate the plot twist as we know the story changes when Arteta leaves to be the manager of Arsenal FC.




Mikel Arteta's journey as the manager of Arsenal has been a transformative and challenging one since he took charge in December 2019. A former club captain, Arteta returned to Arsenal with a deep understanding of its culture and values, aiming to restore the team's competitive edge. Despite a rocky start, marked by inconsistent performances and struggles to implement his tactical vision, Arteta has gradually instilled a sense of discipline, defensive solidity, and a clear playing style. His emphasis on developing young talent, coupled with strategic signings, has begun to bear fruit, leading to significant improvements in the team's performance and results. We see the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the multiple losses of the Premiere League and the heart-breaking return of Bukayo Saka from the Euros 2020. Balancing the pressures of high expectations and the need for patience, Arteta's managerial journey at Arsenal is one of steady progress, resilience, and a commitment to long-term success. This is shown clearly and effortlessly in the series.


Ultimately, the All Or Nothing documentaries allow us to gain better understanding of the game, the phycology of players mindsets on the pitch as well as a different perception of certain infamous players. Stripping away the person from the pitch is imperative. We also look at the impressive journey of each club and how the style of football has gradually changes over time.
