Anyone watched the documentary yet? Load of peeps talking about how good it is

[EighteenSixty7]

Started it tonight, on the 2nd episode now. 
 

The whole reaction of everyone to the ‘98 sending off is embarrassing. Hoddle didn’t help matters before or after. 
 

Enjoying it on the whole anyway.

It's a good documentary. Worth a watch if you're into football or pop culture at the time, even the missus who hates football watched it. 

 

It's not really an insight though like others have been. Certainly not up to the standard of the Michael Jordan one. The best about that was a clear insight into what makes a winner.

 

This for me was too edited , managed, not sure of the term but didn't give you an insight into him other than his dad being a complete bellend living through his kid.

It’s alright

Watched it last night. It’s good, but I’m not sure I feel as sorry for Beckham as everyone else seems to be, and how the doc wants us to feel 

 

The backlash from France 98 was over the top, but he brought on most of the other issues himself,

It’s great 

 

Such a great era of football too 

 

Beckham comes across really well, such a mentally strong and classy individual. A bit that stood out for me was when he played against Simeone for the first time since the Argentina game. Not only did he swap shirts with him after the match, he framed it

He’s only human though, everyone makes mistakes. Luckily for us normal folk our mistakes go largely unnoticed

Looking forward to watching it and I like Beckham and how hard working he was and is.

 

The only annoying thing is that he and his mrs crave the limelight even today like Harry and Meghan. Imagine making a documentary about yourself

I mean the stuff with Fergie, when Fergie clearly laid out his rules and expectations and Beckham went against that. The moving to LA then moving straight back to Milan. People had every right to be narked at him, but the documentary gives the impression that he’s the victim. Even the bit about cheating on his missus was sort of painted that way

Oh I see 

 

I haven’t got that far yet. Did he admit to the affair?

He did everything but admit it

And had a go at Landon Donavan for breaking the rule of 'what happens in the dressing room stays in the dressing room' when he pretty much did exactly the same to Sir Alex
