I just can’t bring myself to watch “Pogmentary”, but I do want to take the opportunity to express my disillusionment with a man, who though brilliant on the football pitch when he’s up for it, is at the bottom of it all just a man who craves attention.
Pogmentary
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
In fairness, I also didn't know who Elvis was until last year when he was on telly
Pogba was a waste of space from the off
At least he issued this when he's not United player anymore.
Imagine being off form at United for a long time, then he had the cheek to have a book coming out. Woahh... what would people say?

I'm almost certain they were thinking Elton John but they're all too far up their own rears to know about anyone but themselves.
And yeah that intro line is absurd. What do you think of the lawyer so far? She seems so transparent to me...I also stopped watching after the first episode
Why not verify if something is real before posting it to cause outrage?
Exactly. Good riddance to him.
This must be getting so many views from people who hate him and adding more money into his pockets.
It is last two minutes of the first episode where he is saying:" Ever since I was a kid I've wanted to be number one, to win. And it's still the same."
Then he says: "For me, United is the best.. If you can go higher, you do it."
Then video changes from your screen shot to him sitting down and talking.
Like you, I stopped watching after about 3/4 of the first episode, I just can’t do it.
I don’t know who this is for, it feels like a massive ego trip for the player and his family to watch and feel like they’ve ‘made it’ in life.
I watched up until they started talking about him wanting to go into TV or film when he retires and then listened to him speak about as clearly and eloquently as Rain man. I hope he’s planning on going into French media because he’s difficult to like and understand in English.
The lawyer is a joke, she’s riding this train until the wheels fall off. This is her meal ticket and it’s painfully clear to see, but they’re all getting rich so I doubt any of them care. I don’t think she even sees a person, just a money making brand she can take part in.
I found it hugely tasteless when he was talking about a nothing offer of £300k a week and then did some staged filming of him riding in a car to Manchester Arndale, to hand out a couple of Big Macs to 3 homeless people before deciding that was enough generosity for one night and cut the filming.
The whole thing is a badly made fluff piece, it’s painfully transparent.
He says some nice things about Manchester and the club, not sure how genuine they are though.
He’s already got the money. Amazon don’t pay out on a viewer by viewer basis
So that's just a fake subtitle, fair enough, that doesn't sound bad.
I'm sure they get a bonus the more successful a show is. I remember Jeremy Clarkson saying they get bonuses for that
Mr. T says "Quit Your Jibber Jabber, Fool!"
We offered him 300k per week? Unbelievable!
Is it your first day on the internet?
At 29/30, I'd say his days of demand are all but over and he'll find it difficult to attract offers which match his ego .I think he should go to Greece as Narcissus followed by a swift rendition as Icarus.
Was the 300k we offered a bump in salary or the same was getting on his old contract?
290k so a 10k rise.
He knows what is doing.Rile up Man UTD fans and get that sweet free PR for the documentary.
A lot of it is, but if you change the settings some is in English, and the subtitles are English. When we first put it on, it was all in French with French subtitles, so relieved to find it could be changed. Or on second thoughts...
Ive just watched the first episode. I like Pogba and always have done even when he was in the academy. I don't care what anyone says but he's spent a lot of time in manchester and does love the club and in a perfect world things would have turned out better but we move on and so does he. I wish him all the best.
You'd think by the reaction of many that he had committed a crime.

true, true
The best thing he's done for us in 3 years.
I was worried when he was linked with City because I was sure it would convince us to offer much more and do something stupid.
I'd rather eat broken glass than watch that tripe.
Still bums me out how much of a bust he was.....I was so excited when we re-signed him.

In episode 4 of 5 Mino and Paul talk about Uniteds contract offer being significantly insufficient. They want more money. Greedy b*tches. In the final episode Paul says United didn't offer him a contract - contradicting himself.
Says he is a United fan... He would fit in perfectly at PSG, City or any of the other sportswashing clubs.
Fergie and Mourinho were right.
He didn't do himself any favors making this ridiculously titled; "POGMENTARY".
We're better off without him.
Best of luck in your future endeavours, Paul.

Almost forgot about the scene where he drops off food. shocked at how pathetic an attempt that was to seem like a good bloke. Just so so strange. If ever you asked a wealthy and out of touch individual to go do some philanthropy this is what it would have looked like.
And yeah just bad programming in general. Pogba is not coherent and his attempts at trying to be philosophical are so bland and soulless. I can easily watch a half dozen episodes of the newest and dumbest reality trash without a problem. But this documentary was painful. It's so so bad in every way. Again all hype no substance
Just watched the series. Sad to see a break-up play so publicly. I always believe it's never a good idea to bring back a contract rebel, it doesn't work and never ends well.
Does anyone still believes he loves the club?
It’s an absolute cringe fest. My girlfriend, who was sat next to me and usually takes little interest in anything United, remarked “what a complete bellend.” Sums it up for me. Won’t miss the guy and have lost even more respect for him for releasing such an unashamedly egotistical piece of propaganda. Jogba back to Italy with all the other Primadonnas.
Didn't see the documentation and only read quotes. Going by them I'd say he massively overestimates his own ability. I always thought he was one of the most frustrating players to watch. So much talent but such dumb decision making most of the time.
thing is its a few years in the making aswell. All that time filmimg yourself and family of you pondering life and your feelings.
I wasn’t going to bother, but it sounds like this might actually be worth a watch just to see him being a complete tool?Yeah. He doesn't come off well.
Let's just hope for the sake of humanity that Graeme Souness doesn't have Amazon Prime.
Anyone clued up on his outside football ventures able to tell me how or why he thinks he'd do well in America?
Footballers need to go back to being footballers, the genuinely top ones will be retiring with enough money to set generations of theirs up for life.

Unless he is a fool he can retire right now and live the rest if his life in full luxury.
I won't worry too much about him.
Two thumbs up - Louis van Gaal.
You know this documentary was not going to be some creative revelation when they went with 'Pogmentary' in lieu of the far better 'Pogumentary'. I like Pogba, but I honestly have zero desire to watch this, seems like an absolute cringe-fest of someone drifting further and further away from reality. His lack of options now needs to be a wake-up call, he's going to be 30 in less than a year, these are his prime years and while we always caveat his performances as 'very talented, but...', it's time to step it up on a whole season rather than with some outings with the French NT.
