There probably been lots of discussions about this before. Feel free too lock it mods if use feel it is a dead topic.

I watched it again last night for the third time. I just think it is a fantastic film. Maybe a tad bot more enjoyable for United fans than it is for the neutral.

I think it is a fantastic film which touches on so many issues. Ken Loach really is a genius when it comes to portraying real life on screen.

Some of the issues he touches on is the following:
-Current state of football symbolized through Fc United
-Troubled Youth
-The effects of weed/green or what ever you may call it.
-Also the power of friendship and looking out for one another.
-The influence of football and footballing individuals in peoples lives.
-The Genius of Eric the King.

Feel free to discuss and add your own views.

Loach couldnt make a better football film if he tried. Brilliant film!!

“When I used to hear Muhammad Ali proclaim to the world that he was the greatest I used to smile,” Murphy once said. “The greatest of them all was a footballer named Duncan Edwards.”

Fair play to Cantona, he really took the piss out of himself. The "I am not a man-I am Cantona" was brilliant.

I was once in a Ken Loach film!

No shit

I was an extra in the film "The Wind that shakes the Barley". Apperared in a few scenes, it was awesome seeing Loach at work. I got one speaking line which was later cut out. Assholes.

He nailed this film, its a good'un.

You should be able to get it handy enough online.
