Levy's wish, Son teasing Tanganga: 11 things we spotted in All or Nothing Tottenham episode four

The All or Nothing Tottenham Hotspur series has certainly got people talking and we've taken a closer look at episode four.

Episodes four, five and six of the show were released on Amazon Prime Video on Monday morning and they deliver an insight behind the scenes at the north London club.

The production company had access to all areas of the club at the stadium and Hotspur Way training complex and a fixed camera in offices, including Jose Mourinho's one, and they caught plenty of what went on at the Premier League club.

Tottenham: 2020/21 season in preview

Here are 11 things we noticed in episode four of the series, which is named Season's Greeting.

Of course it goes without saying but we will anyway, there are spoilers ahead.

Daniel Levy's Christmas wish

The Spurs chairman is speaking alongside Jose Mourinho at the staff Christmas party.

He declares: "I asked for two things, finish in the top four and.... win a trophy." The pause towards the end and subsequent cheers are somewhat reminiscent of a political party conference.

Unfortunately Levy was left with his festive wishes unanswered as Spurs did neither.

Jose Mourinho hates injury reports

Mourinho's disdain for injuries and physio updates is well known and it's not hidden here.

Early on in the episode he gets news about Eric Dier, Danny Rose and Kyle Walker-Peters to add to his growing list of injuries.

He glares at assistant manager Joao Sacramento the whole time as as physio Geoff Scott delivers his report to him.

Dukes, White and Etete's cameo

We get a nice little insight into the life of long-serving kit manager Steve Dukes as he discusses moving Oliver Skipp, Japhet Tanganga and Troy Parrott to the first team changing room.

In the corridor he bumps into academy midfielder Harvey White, who explains he has been at the club for ten years - and striker Kion Etete who had just recently joined from Notts County.

While White would not be one of the players called up at that point, he has since played a big part in pre-season this summer.

A tough time for Mourinho

Anyone who's had or got a dog knows how horrible this feeling is or will be as Mourinho looked devastated as he explains to his squad that his dog has died.

A little Yorkshire Terrier, the pet had been with the family for 13 years and travelled everywhere with them, and he died on Christmas Eve.

Unbelievable Geoff

Realising the gravity of the situation and also knowing how Mourinho is going to react, Scott receives the phone call about Kane's scan and quickly says 'oh my god'.

It's a 12-week lay off and the New Zealander has to explain it first to Kane that it's a serious hamstring injury.

Kane and Son having a grumble

The two Tottenham hitmen are complaining about the schedule and how crazy it is. They talk about the amount of injuries and Hugo Lloris is having the same chat with the medical staff, who reveal there are currently 75 injuries in the Premier League.

Mourinho dropping the F-bomb after he hears the Kane news

Scott has to have an awkward conversation with Mourinho who carries on with training around him.

When he's told it's 12 weeks 'Come on, that's the end of him [for this season].

He heads over to Sacramento and says: "Minimum three months, we're (swears)."

Son teasing Tanganga

Tanganga is quickly taken into the group and during a meal in the player's canteen Son asks him when he's going to sign his new contract.

When the young defender says he doesn't know, the South Korean star nods across at Levy and teases him, saying "ask him". As the chairman looks up, they all giggle.

Japhet's tears

Tanganga gives us a lovely insight into his life and his family, how dedicated his parents have been to helping him realise his dream as a professional footballer.

We learn that his dad gave him a pep talk after he was named in the starting XI for the Liverpool match and the centre-back admits he went up to his room and shed a few tears.

After the game we see Tanganga applauded by his team-mates for his performance.

Then he gets what sounds like Toby Alderweireld telling him quietly "You were good, believe me, you did very well" in the dressing room.

Dele's Bounty hate

The young Spurs midfielder asks for a member of the physio staff's top three chocolate bars. When he's told that they're Dime, Drifter and a Crunchie, he remarks to the room that if anyone puts Bounty in their top three "I'm never speaking to you again".

Dele is clearly no fan of the coconut.

Eriksen's admission

Mourinho tells Sacramento about a chat he's just had with Christian Eriksen, who told him: "I have nothing. In my head I would like to leave now.

In a meeting with the head coach, Levy says: "I was thinking about the Christian situation and for a club of our size to allow a player to leave here on a free iit sends a very bad signal to everyone else."
