I only want good footy films on at my cinema cheers!

That ones got Russell bloody Osman in it, well known former manager of Bristol C*ty and therefore a cunt.

Shaolin Soccer sounded interesting though, I heard about that one. And what was that one where these Tibetan monks watch the World Cup on a secret telly or something? Wouldn't mind seeing that either.

Good footy films, Jimmy Grimble

If you had real class youd've gone for Yesterdays Hero with Ian McShane

What's wrong with Jimmy Grimble?

 

[starfish]

Ulzana's Raid & Dersu Uzala. Because the names sound similar, no one else has mentioned, one from the Wild West while the other is from the Wild East & Dersu Uzala is a bloody damned good film anyway.

Fucking good choice.

Not popular with the drug-addled workshy lefties that slink round this board - but a wonderful comedy pairing if ever there was!
