WTFiGO!?! Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Had an intense and sustained chortaling session (one of lifes biggest pleasures) whilst watching Mike Bassett.ID was the first hooligan film so just for the sake of originality it gets my vote. (also stars Billy Mitchell a funny little chappy if ever I saw one).Fever Pitch struck the strongest chord with me though. 'How long have you wanted to be a teacher for? 5 years? How long have I wanted Arsenal to win the championship.....?' The man just 'knew'.It's what I remember when England are knocked out of an International tournament or some equally bleak situation and somebody comes along in bliss ignorance (usually female) and says 'don't worry, it's ONLY a game' It just helps me understand the outlet for my passion that Football provides, and helps put some of lifes other, more trivial matters into perspective.Also a memorable quote: 'THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE SO WILL YOU PLEASE PLEASE JUST FU(K1NG **** OFF!!!'The book's obviously quality to, came free with my copy of Championship Manager '94 but I'll save that tale for another day...ps/ONLY a game!!! No! Monopoly is ONLY a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardie Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 The Accents were lame but I thought that Green Street was a good film. Yes, things were over exsagerated, but it is a film after all.ID is better than Football Factory and Green Street in my opinion. Fever Pitch is a quality film too. Is there going to be another football film out any time soon?Goal 2 is out sometime this year i believe this time set at real madrid, then goal 3 is about the world cup i imagine that will hit the big screen sometime in 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich-TWSC- Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 They're all rubbish except Shaolin SoccerAgreed.But as a long-time Will Ferrell fan (Night At The Roxbury!) I enjoyed Kicking & Screaming.The American take on "soccer" can infuriate me, but I've been to U.S "soccer" matches several levels and that film although stereotypical isn't far off the mark.Are Americans the only people that pronounce Pele as "PAY-LAY"?

Red Skin Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 "The Arsenal Stadium Mystery". Not the 1939 classic but the one about Thierry Henry failing to turn up to any of Arsenal's "big" games. It's certainly got Wenger stumped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 "Bristol City - The promotion years"Well the 'Glory Years' is also a contender and what about the tape from the '66 WC Final. Do these count as films? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazareth Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 'Shaolin Soccer' is the only football film worth bothering with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
