The book was superb - I'm looking forward to the film but can't see how it can match the quality of the book.

Much the same was said about Trainspotting, and look how that turned out. You can tell just from the trailer that The Damned United film will be QUALA in its own right :thumbsup:
 






taylor left becaue he said he had failed in getting us promoted.

Clough spent most of the time he BHA manager either holding court in his home campaigning to get the Derby job back/oust the derby chairman or for a Labour MP who was championning his cause to be reinstated as the next derby manager or his own campaign to be the next England manager (a job which went to Don revie)

Brighton
Such was the loyalty to Clough that along with himself and Taylor, scouts and backroom staff completed the walk out, following the pair for their brief spell with Brighton & Hove Albion. He proved less successful on the South Coast than with his previous club, winning only 12 of his 32 games in charge of the Division Three side. Whereas eight months earlier Clough was managing a team playing Juventus in the European Cup, he was now managing a club who, just after his appointment as manager, lost to Walton & Hersham 4–0 at home in an FA Cup replay. Albion eventually finished in 19th place that season

You're right THPP. After having seen that trailer, I can't wait to see it! Jim Broadbent & Timothy Spall - how can it fail?

Mark Bright in his Metro column a few weeks ago said the film was a pile of gash, although he didn't exactly use those words NSC.

"Although famously too boring for the Bulgaria team in Euro 96 who quit their hotel there claiming it was dull and moved up the coast. I'm sure those who have been to Bulgaria will appreciate the irony."

You've got that wrong. The Bulgarian team were never based in Scarborough but at Ravenscar some 10 miles north of Scarborough. Although a beautiful spot it is remote and proved to be too quiet. So the team relocate to Gateshead for some night life.

Hove, f***ing ACTUALLY.
I'm looking forward to see it, although it does seem to be a bit limited in its release.
