If you guys have been following the English Premier League (if you haven’t and do want to, check it out on Disney+ Hotstar), then you will have an idea about what is currently happening at Arsenal Football Club. Each of the twenty clubs has played 3 games each so far, with Arsenal losing 2-0 and 0-2 to newcomers Brentford and European Champions Chelsea respectively while also getting humiliated at home by the League Champions, Manchester City, with a score of 5-0. Arsenal is now at the bottom of the league, and the footballing club is in a disarray at the moment. After such a tumultuous start to the season, Arsenal Football Club is said to be removing this portion of their playing period from Amazon Prime Video‘s fly-on-the-wall docuseries ‘All or Nothing: Arsenal’.
Arsenal has been down on their luck for some time now – having finished outside of the top 4 in the League for 5 years in a row while remaining in the 8th spot for the past 2 years. With more than half their team being forced to quarantine due to Covid-19 cases and a few injuries, Arsenal has the perfect excuse to give for their three back-to-back defeats in the league. However, their coach, Mikel Arteta has been having a tough time managing the squad and has been looking a bit lost in a recent couple of months.
While all of these reasons do bring about sympathy, removing a portion of an important part of Arsenal’s journey, no matter how humiliating, is uncalled for. There is no point in allowing the docuseries to happen in the first place if the club doesn’t like the results their players produce. Tottenham Hotspurs, their London rivals, had an ‘All or Nothing’ series made about them, the year before. They were on a worse losing streak, which ended with the head coach getting sacked three months into the season and a new one being appointed. The cameras never stopped rolling.
‘All or Nothing’ is a documentary series created by Amazon Prime Video. The web series makes documentaries every year on various sports on various teams including American Football, Football, Rugby and Ice Hockey. This year, the ‘All or Nothing’ series will be focusing on the Arsenal football club, which will release for viewing next year.
