I have been a big fan of this documentary for years. Absolute fucking quality. Who else is a fan and what are your best quotes?

"Norway are a very methodical team with a very methodical manager."

"Whether he is 13 stone or 10 stone the Norwegians are in awe of him."

"Facking Paul! Come on!"

Watched this again a few weeks ago, it is brilliant.

"Can we NOT knock it!!??!"

Love the press conference before the Holland game in this part and the bollocking he gives Rob Shepherd

I also quite like what he says to the players "Go fucking take the oppurtunity it's there for you and wring every little bit out of it" - shame it went wrong.

Overall not a great manager but not as terrible as the press made out either!

Legendary status now, that documentary. Some of the stuff he comes out with is brilliantly daft;

And of course Phil ''yes boss'' Neal!

Phil Neal a little out of his depth lol

Remember watching this when this was first on & actually crying with laughter. Watched it again on youtube a few years ago. Absolute quality.

The best part is the Holland game when he tells the fourth official that the ref has cost him his job.

I remember watching at the time. It ruined that Mike Bassett film for me.

We got screwed over by Holland, always remember that, then koeman fucked us in the arse when he shouldn't have been the pitch. If only gazza weren't injured for so many matches we would have gone to USA 94 with a good team.

Watched the documentary a few years back and while it was amusing I found it sad too. Never before have I seen a manager so up against it. The media turned the fans against him big time.It makes the Steve kean treatment seem mickey mouse.

McClaren was far worse in my opinion and he got let off lightly with the wally with the brolly tag

 

[Danube]

I always got the feeling FIFA didn't want us in the USA because of our history of crowd trouble, it would have made a mess of selling 'the product' to the Americans,
mind you, we didn't help ourselves either.

 

[hutton who blue]

His eagerness to pontificate and clueless, tactical ineptitude are compounded by his frightening looking resemblance to Rosemary West. That programme on Ch 4 inadvertedly became comedy gold.

 

[Ray78]

That documentary highlighted the inadequacies in the British Game in general.
