Arsenal have announced on Friday that they will feature on Amazon Prime’s ‘All or Nothing’ series and fans are not too happy with the club’s decision.
In recent years, fellow Premier League clubs Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have featured in this documentary series and other European clubs Bayern Munich and Juventus have also been involved in it.
The north London club have released an official statement, stating that they have opened the door for Amazon Prime to show some behind-the-scenes content, the life at Emirates Stadium and the training center for the upcoming season. The statement said:
“Arsenal will take our fans behind the curtain during a crucial season as we focus our efforts on challenging for domestic success and returning to elite European competition.
“As well as capturing the highs and lows of life at the Emirates Stadium and our training centre, the All or Nothing cameras will follow our squad away from the pitch to examine the daily challenges faced by elite athletes, the work we do in our local and global communities and what connects the Arsenal family and our special club.
“The series will launch exclusively on Amazon Prime Video next year in more than 240 countries worldwide.”
However, fans seem disappointed with the announcement given the club’s struggles recently. Here are some of the best reactions:
Could be a little embarrassing or an amazing piece of film which shows how we defeat the odds and win the league 🤷🏾♂️😁😎 I hope for the latter 🤞🏾

This will either be a comedy for rivals or an emotional series of Arsenal having a redemption season. Hopefully the latter 😅

Arsenal Fever View:
After finishing eighth in back-to-back campaigns, allowing Amazon Prime to show the behind the scene segments is a very brave decision by the management. Following the FA Cup triumph in Mikel Arteta’s debut season and overcoming Liverpool in the Community Shield, things looked promising for the Emirates club.
However, they have failed miserably to build up from that success and have fallen behind since. The Gunners failed to qualify for European football for the first time in 25 years. The activity in the transfer market so far isn’t promising either.
With these situations in mind, featuring on this show could be all or nothing for the north Londoners. If they are to manage a successful season by securing a place in Europe’s elite competition that would turn out to be a treat for the fans when the show ultimately airs.
However, if they fail miserably then that would make the north London club into a Comedy Central for the rival fans. Nevertheless, following the recent unsuccessful years on the pitch, the Gunners need exposure to build a new fan base to retain their perch, featuring on Amazon Prime’s ‘All or Nothing’ show will certainly provide that, given its popularity around the world.
