Let's be honest, nothing will ever beat the VSI years. They offered excellent reviews and didn't shirk the controversial moments, dealing with Little & McGhee, MON turning down Leeds. They had interviews and a narrator who contextualised what you were watching.

 

Carlton did a semi-decent job, their 2002/03 effort was the best, though they did have to contend with Peter Taylor and relegation. They did give us the Central News presenter Dennis Coath as commentator who was, shall we say, not great.

 

An ideal season review starts out by rounding up the summer. Mention Pearson's departure and then Ranieri coming in. We need the voiceover to emphasise how sceptical people were originally. Move onto the summer signings (emphasise Kante, new Mahrez contract) and maybe a goal or two from pre-season friendlies.

 

Then we hit the new season. Voiceover the cup action and arc to focus on Vardy and his run, putting us top of the table, then onto the hype before Man Utd and the eventual breaking of the record.

 

After that re-focus on the top-of-the-table. Explore the defeat at Liverpool and the subsequent 0-0 draws, don't ignore them they're an important part of our character this season. Vardy's goal v Liverpool then a little intro to the Man City game, and another for the Arsenal game.

 

From then on in it's all about the title. Narrator should be focusing on Spurs' results as well to emphasise how the gap closes-widens etc. There should definitely be a brief bit on the Chelsea-Spurs game (goals) to contextualise the celebrations they'll show.

 

Special feature/focus on Everton and then round-up the season in a montage with the voiceover taking about how incredible it's been, and emphasise what the next season will bring.

 

No reflective interviews. If you want to use any interviews take them from the post-match reaction or press conferences, there and then is best to look back on

And please use either MOTD or Sky/BT/World Feed commentators. Nothing much worse than dubbed-over commentary

 

tl;dr - make it a good one Spirit!

 

Great post. Agree with every word.

 

Especially about the reflective interviews. They are awful to watch on the newer reviews.

 

In fact one thing I would add is to limit the interviews. We don't need one after every game, it slows everything down to a boring pace. Sometimes one match should just flow into the next.

Agree. Harking back again to VSI they knew how to do a good interview interjection. 00/01 had those horrible Savage/Taylor pieces, long and drawn out and massively unnecessary. There have been some absolutely cracking pre and post match interviews with CR this season. I'd love them to keep reiterating those post match interviews where he kept saying survival was the objective too.

 

A season review is nothing if it has no context. If it's a collection of goals with a table at the end of each month it offers little for the viewer, doesn't provide any lasting memories. I know those watching will have lived and breathed this season, and we can all pick out the moments, but it has to be produced as if it's being watched in 5-10 years time, when a new breed of fan is coming through and using these reviews to learn about the history, learn about this amazing season.

 

I know I come across as an unhinged weirdo for being so forensic on season reviews but it's a really important historical document for the club and I'd love the final product to be something special.

Having narrowly avoided relegation in the previous campaign, Leicester began the season as 5,000-1 outsiders to win the Premier League Crown but would go on to defy the odds, win the title and qualify for the Champions League for the first time in the club's history with their new manager Claudio Ranieri at the helm.

 

BEST . BLURB. EVER

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this seasons DVD. Please LCFC make it a box set. Nothing left out.

Even Hopper ankles round his neck needs to be in this imo.

Spoke to Jim in the week who confirmed that the club are currently in the process of making a season review. He also thinks they'll be making an additional one of the parade. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
