I like Mean Machine (the remade version of the original 'Longest yard which was then remade twice)

Starring Vinnie Jones.

"It was Pretty Good" - Messenger Newspaper

How are you "gooner born, gooner bred"??

Your parents hate soccer

I was adopted.

Oh another good football movie is The Arsenal Stadium Mystery. not a lot of actual football in it but it's got some quality old school Arsenal footage.

[paul merson]

Escape to Victory is now actually just called Victory. It took me ages to find it on dvd cause I was looking for Escape to Victory. I think its like the whole J Lo thing.

Mike Bassett England Manager... lower division manager gets the England job.... good laugh

[Missing Post Count]

I remember seeing a movie on arsenal's win in the English first division in 1988/89 but can't rememeber what it was called.

Fever Pitch.

"Born Kicking" seems to have it all.
I can't seem to find it on DVD.

The English First Division succeeds in rallying the FA to sign a female professional footballer.

Filmed at QPR mainly, this film seems to have thought of everything
* interfering owner who is cash strapped
* manager vs owner confrontations on running the team
* manager who challenges player reputations (including the captain)
* the taunting of the new player by her team-mates
* an apprentice being "let-go"
* marketing functions the players have to attend
* advertising of products during training times to meet contract demands
* the old talent scout
* putting the club first ahead of player reputations
* the (female) star being dropped to the reserves
* an FA cup run
* the star's mother who is embarrassed her daughter is playing football versus the proud father

I think it is realistic in its approach and delivery. Highly recommended

Not a huge fan of 'Bend it like beckham', but i do like Goal 1 - 2.
