      Arsenal have confirmed their 2021-22 season will be the subject of a documentary that will be released in late 2022.
      The ‘All Or Nothing’ series will go behind the scenes at the Emirates, filming team meetings, training ground antics and dressing room arguments.
      Mark Gonnella, the club’s media and communications director, said: “We are looking forward to giving our fans around the world a unique insight into how we work day to day.
      “We have one of the biggest global followings in the game and one consistent thing we hear from fans is their desire to see more about what happens behind closed doors at the club.
      “All or Nothing will give our fans and sport lovers an opportunity to learn more about what makes Arsenal such a special club, our trophy laden history and our ambitions for future success.”
      Dan Grabiner, Amazon’s head of UK originals, added: “Arsenal is a historic club going through a fascinating period – and we can’t wait to take viewers behind-the-scenes on the journey of this crucial season.
      “All or Nothing is about intimate access to the passion and commitment behind elite sport and in Arsenal we have the perfect subject for the next chapter.
      “We are looking forward to Prime members around the world experiencing another Premier League season with a new club, through All or Nothing’s signature quality storytelling and access.”

      City were the first English club to be covered by the Amazon documentary series after their Premier League title-winning campaign in 2018-19 was filmed.
      Arsenal’s bitter rivals Tottenham were then covered the following season, which saw the club finish sixth in the Prem under Jose Mourinho.
      The Gunners have struggled in recent years, finishing a below-par eighth the last two seasons and not qualifying for the Champions League since 2016.
      Most Arsenal fans want to see owner Stan Kroenke leave the club, with tensions growing after the failed European Super League plot in April.
      The documentary’s announcement has delighted many football fans on social media, with one tweeting: “This is gonna be PEAK comedy right here.”

      While another wrote: “Can’t wait to see Arteta’s spankings at half-time.”
      But a lot of Arsenal supporters are embarrassed by the news, with one writing: “I don’t think anyone wanted this.”
      Another tweeted: “This will be a shambles.”
      And one supporter wrote: “Can’t we just enjoy the Spurs disaster for a few years before we give them some of our banterlicious content?”

      Premier League confirm new £5.1BILLION TV deal which continues Sky, BT, Amazon and BBC agreement for three more years

      by

      PREMIER LEAGUE chiefs have confirmed agreement on a new £5.1billion TV deal.The deal to ‘rollover’ the current contracts with Sky, BT, Amazon Prime and the BBC for a further three seasons was confirmed ‘unanimously’ at a virtual meeting of the 20 clubs on Wednesday.
      The Premier League have agreed a new three-year £5.1BILLION TV dealCredit: Getty
      But as a condition to get Government approval to bypass the normal bidding process, the clubs agreed to give up £100million between them over the next four years – with the money spread throughout the football pyramid.
      Explaining the deal, which comes into effect from the end of next season, a Prem spokesman said: “This agreement is based on the renewals safeguarding the world-leading levels of financial support committed to the football community through solidarity, youth development and wider community and good causes contributions.
      “The UK renewals for the next broadcast cycle – from seasons 2022-23 to 2024-25 – will be concluded at the same overall value as the current arrangements between the Premier League and its broadcast partners.
      “As part of the Premier League’s developing strategic plan, the renewals will provide financial certainty to clubs throughout professional football as a result of maintaining current levels of support and enables the League to commit to increased funding.
      “This will give security and continuity throughout the pyramid until at least 2025.
      “Pre-pandemic, the Premier League budgeted to commit £1.5bn to the pyramid over a three-year period, more than any other sporting organisation provides to its community.
      “That commitment will be maintained during the next rights cycle and will be supplemented by an additional £100m of funding.
      “This additional £100m will be provided over the next four years only, and will extend support to areas of the football community particularly vulnerable to the impacts of Covid-19.

      “The additional funding will be available to more than 1,000 clubs in the National League system, women’s and girls’ football, EFL League One and League Two clubs and the Football Foundation.
      “It will also support a number of football-wide projects, which will include the Premier League’s work looking at head injuries in football, anti-discrimination and fan groups who receive funding from the Premier League.”
      The deal means Sky will retain the lion’s share of live matches with 128 matches, BT showing 52 and Amazon Prime 20.
      But in a slight tweak, BT announced that, in European weeks it would move its Saturday lunchtime game to 7:45pm if the match featured a team that had played Champions League football the previous Wednesday.
      Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer all complained bitterly about being forced into lunchtime action after Euro matches this season.
      ‘SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON FOOTBALL’
      Prem chief executive Richard Masters said: “The Premier League would like to express our gratitude to our broadcast partners for their continued commitment to the Premier League and support for the football pyramid.
      “We are hugely appreciative of the Government agreeing in principle to allow this arrangement and for their continued support for the Premier League and the English game.
      “Covid-19 has had a significant impact on football, and renewals with our UK broadcast partners will reduce uncertainty, generate stability and promote confidence within the football pyramid.
      “We know that, once concluded, this will have a positive impact on the wider industry, jobs and tax revenues and will enable us to maintain and increase our existing solidarity and community financial commitments to the football pyramid for the next four years, even though we are yet to understand the full impact of the pandemic.
      “It comes at an important time and will enable us to plan ahead with increased certainty against a more stable economic backdrop.”

      Watch Cristiano Ronaldo sulk in Juventus dressing-room in unseen footage for Amazon Prime All or Nothing trailer

      by

      AMAZON have confirmed a new docu-series based on Juventus with a first look featuring Cristiano Ronaldo sulking in the dressing room.
      The superstar winger will undoubtedly play a huge role in the programme, which follows the Bianconeri through the 2020-21 season.

      On Tuesday, the subscription network released a short trailer hinting at what is to come.
      Andrea Pirlo’s arrival as head coach will be prominent in the early scenes of the series, with Arthur Melo’s initiation having signed from Barcelona also caught on camera.
      In his first job in charge of a senior team, ex-midfielder Pirlo says: “I realised that I was in the right place at the right time.
      “I jumped straight into it and it became all I could think about.”

      The exclusive series promises to reveal the agony and ecstasy of other football documentaries with Juve’s insight produced by the same team behind Sunderland ‘Til I Die.
      At one point of the trailer, Alvaro Morata, Ronaldo and vice-chairman Pavel Nedved are all seen laughing away from the pitch.

      But Nedved and Rodrigo Bentancur are among those seen reacting angrily to tough games later on, amid an unusually difficult campaign for the Old Lady.

      Ronaldo is seen sulking in the dressing room, arms folded late in the clip, before hauling himself off the bench.
      With the docu-series slated for release later in 2021, its happy ending is still very much in the air.

      A 3-0 win over Crotone pushed Juventus to third in Serie A on Monday night, eight points off Inter Milan with a game in hand.
      Their place in the Champions League is under threat after a 2-1 defeat to Porto in the first leg of their last-16 tie.
      In May, Pirlo’s side will face Atalanta in the Coppa Italia final, which could serve as the climax to the Amazon series.

      Leeds hit back at Amazon pundit Karen Carney after she claimed club were only promoted to Premier League due to Covid

      by

      LEEDS UNITED have fired back at Karen Carney after the Amazon Prime pundit claimed they only won promotion to the Premier League because of coronavirus.
      Leeds put down a marker by smashing West Brom 5-0 on Tuesday to make it three wins from their last four games.

      I take the responsibility of the Club tweet. I consider that comment completely unnecessary and disrespectful to our Club and particularly to the fantastic hard work of our players and coaches whom were understanding on the pitch for the last two championship seasons by all stats
      — Andrea Radrizzani (@andrearadri) December 29, 2020

      Strikes from Ezgjan Alioski, Jack Harrison, Rodrigo and Raphinha followed an unbelievable own-goal from Romaine Sawyers.
      But Carney, 33, questioned whether Marcelo Bielsa’s all-action Leeds will be able to keep up their manic style of play for the rest of the season.
      The former England international, who won 144 caps for the Lionesses, also claimed Leeds only won promotion from the Championship last term after getting a rest when coronavirus halted the football season.
      Carney, who played for both Arsenal and Chelsea, said: “They outrun everyone and credit to them. My only concern would be, will they blow up at the end of the season like the last couple of seasons?

      “I actually think they got promoted because of Covid in terms of it giving them a bit of respite.
      “I don’t know if they’d have got up if they didn’t have that break.”
      However, Leeds fired back at Carney with a post on Twitter – with the post drawing some criticism for inviting a ‘pile-on’ of sexist abuse aimed at the ex-footballer.
      It said: “‘Promoted because of Covid’. Won the league by 10 points. Hi @primevideosport.”

      Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani claimed he backed the tweet, stating himself on the forum: “I take the responsibility of the Club tweet. I consider that comment completely unnecessary and disrespectful to our Club and particularly to the fantastic hard work of our players and coaches whom were understanding on the pitch for the last two championship seasons by all stats.”
      As Leeds themselves pointed out, they finished last season on 93 points – ten ahead of nearest rivals West Brom.
      Marcelo Bielsa’s side also won their last five games before lockdown came in without conceding once.
      However, the season before – the last full season played – Leeds had dominated in the opening months of the season before running out of steam and failing to advance in the play-offs.
      Carney did have kind words for Leeds’ brilliant performance against the Baggies on the night.
      She added: “Two newly promoted teams and the difference between them in terms of class, quality and also fitness and intensity.
      “Leeds were outstanding, we’ve criticised them in the last couple of weeks about clean sheets and how much they’ve conceded.
      “That’s two back-to-back clean sheets now. I know we said about Meslier earlier, he’s unorthodox in what he does, but again two clean sheets.
      “Fabulous performance and attacking-wise as clinical as ever.”

      Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani apologises to Karen Carney and condemns abuse but insists club’s tweet ‘wasn’t offensive’

      by

      LEEDS owner Andrea Radrizzani said sorry to Karen Carney after a club tweet sparked vile abuse towards her.
      The ex-England star claimed the Covid shutdown in March helped the club get promoted.

      Carney made her comments after Leeds’ 5-0 win at West Brom and the Elland Road social media team mocked the Amazon pundit on their Twitter account in reply.
      Leeds’ trolling fuelled thousands of abusive remarks at Carney — and although Radrizzani branded her  “disrespectful”, the red-faced Italian made a U-turn last night.
      TalkSPORT’s Jim White spoke to Radrizzani and released a series of tweets on his behalf. 
      He said: “I’m very sorry Karen was abused on social media. I wanted to defend my club and our players from a comment, which I felt was harsh from Karen on air.

      “Our tweet wasn’t offensive — simply stating that we won the league by 10 points.”
      Leeds had earlier condemned the abuse that Carney had received.
      A club spokesperson said: “Leeds United completely condemns any abuse received by Karen Carney on social media following last night’s Premier League game with West Bromwich Albion.
      “Everyone at our club respects Karen greatly for all she has achieved in the game, as well as her work in the media and the charity work she undertakes.”

      Carney’s comments came to the attention of Leeds fans after the club’s official Twitter account shared the footage with the caption: “Promoted because of Covid. Won the league by 10 points. Hi @primevideosport”.
      Leeds have not apologised for the tweet itself, with Radrizzani previously defending the club’s actions.
      In response to a tweet claiming the club took part in a ‘disgusting act’, the Italian said: “I take the responsibility of the Club tweet.”

      He added: “I consider that comment completely unnecessary and disrespectful to our Club and particularly to the fantastic hard work of our players and coaches whom were understanding on the pitch for the last two championship seasons by all stats.”
      Carney, who retired from football last July, has yet to publicly address the abuse she received.
      Women in Football, however, have passed comment on the incident, condemning Leeds for their actions.
      They said: “Whether you agree with the comment or not, singling out and ridiculing an individual on an official club account is not what we’re here for.
      “Karen Carney is a well-informed pundit. This tweet is inciteful & inappropriate. Not a good look now, or at any time.”
      Former Leeds star Rio Ferdinand has called on the club to delete the post with other prominent members of the sporting community slamming the tweet.
      According to The Times, Leeds have reached out to Carney over the matter and have invited her to their training ground for a TV report ahead of their FA Cup third-round clash with Crawley Town next month.
      Leeds will be back in action on Saturday afternoon, travelling to north London to take on Tottenham. More
