A good evening's viewing on BBC4

Damned United is excellent.

Ditto^^^^^^

I was a big Leeds fan back then.

I liked the music when Leeds were walking up to the baseball ground.
Deep Purple - Flight of the Rat.

Throw them in the bin

ttt

brilliant performance by sheen imo 

also, the bit on the training ground where he turns and volleys it in was all done in the first take... respeck innit

brian fcking clough uber fcking alles... understand?

Best thing clough did was not get the england job.

Dave Mackay signed at 34 won the top division at 41

Mackay used to spend hours with young Nigel learning him how to play. Longson was a t0sspot BC could have made history at Derby

I blame jim broadbent 

I remember going to the Carlton Casino in Derby one night with a mate, must have been in the mid 90's. Got to the front entrance to be greeted by this scuffle and it was the security chucking out a legless Alex.

i have the damned united on blu ray. i agree its a good movie, but reading how inaccurate it is has damaged it a bit for me. a lot of the events either never happened at all, or happened at a totally different time than the movie says.

a few really glaring ones are clough managed brighton for nearly a full season, in the movie he agreed to go to brighton then changed his mind when offered the leeds job.

the game before the european match, where clough supposedly played a full strength side against leeds and a load got injured, never happened. they played leeds earlier in the season and nobody got injured. for the european match they lost with supposedly a weakened team, they had no players out injured at all just one suspended.
