Slight amendment Bobby.

I'd rather watch a Brazil nut decompose.

Deluded prick

You learn something new everyday, beating Luton is now a big scalp. :)

Why are their hangers on in the media pushing the most in form team of the last five games? It’s proper weird and just prolongs their agony, this is where their problems lay from what they have done in the last ten years. The media seem desperate to sprinkle glitter on the turd as they cling to any slight ray of sunshine that shows they are progressing back to the promised land.

They’ve made hard work of getting past teams any half decent Premier League outfit should be beating. They’ve lost to teams in the Champions league who don’t have the budget that United have. It’s death by a thousand cuts for them, they win and all of a sudden everything is right with the world.

The media uses United’s fanbase to generate revenue. They tell them what they want to hear and they get viewers and clicks.

Spot-on about Leeds. The longer time goes on the more the history is re-written positively about Leeds and their anti-football team. Brian Clough was 100 per cent right about them. The "dirty Leeds" team set back English football for decades. Their physical style was copied by many clubs and crowds plummeted everywhere (also helped by the hooligan menace which Leeds also flourished at).

The Damned United remains the best Football related drama I have ever seen

Does that mean Giggs misses out on yet another Wales cap?

The book is brilliant as well.
Not a huge fan of Michael Sheen, but he is excellent as a cocky, arrogant and almost manic, Brian Clough.
Some big stars in the film - including Stephen Graham as Billy Brenner...

Am amazed he played as much as he did !
The shite-house was bullied by the GPC, although don't think Giggs had that much affinity for his birthplace ?
How he ever got the Welsh national manager's job is unbelievable. The waster showed no regard for the team as a player, then hung-on as long as he could, before the last court case scandal forced him to walk away...

You have to ask the question why measure over the last 5 games?

Why not the last 4 or the last 6, maybe it just happens that they weren't the most in form team over that period :)

I think the best measure is to see who is best over all the league games played this season, and guess who come out on top and who sits in 6th.
