Sports on Screen: Manchester City: All or Nothing

So far in our series on sports on television, we’ve already watched with glee as Sunderland plummeted down two divisions and Tottenham Hotspur rode out the Coronavirus to come back stronger. This week, we’re completing the triumvirate of football documentaries from the past couple of years in looking at Manchester City: All or Nothing.

The season that is covered in the documentary is the 2017/18 English Premier League season. Don’t remember it? Yes you do, The Citizens were one of the Teams of the Century that year.

Pep Guardiola’s side were utterly dominant across the season as they amassed a record-breaking 100 points and swept all before them in the Premier League, including their cross-city rivals, Manchester United.

Therein, unfortunately, lies one of the problems with the series that Tottenham and Sunderland’s documentaries don’t encounter – the luxury of unparalleled success.
