Yeah, the whole straight-to-DVD thing told me that I shouldn't bother. 5 bucks is worth the buy for the original.

The sequel is on netflix. Seemed like a bad sequel.

Another good footie film I have that is a good one to check out is called "All In The Game". It stars Ray Winstone and Danny Dyer who stars in the Real Football Factories. All In The game - Corruption, money, power - the not so beautiful game.

Anyone ever seen Green Street Hooligans?

Had to check for a minute, it's just known as "Green Street" over here.

Little bit exaggerated, but still a good film.

Green Street, what a terrible movie, at least for all the wanna-be "hooligans" it caused. SMH.

With how much the English have worked to remove the "hooligan" tag from their football supporters, that doesn't surprise me in the least. I would agree that in this day and age the movie is definitely exaggerated. While I'm sure isolated incidents of this type of thing still happens in England, it's nothing like heyday of the 80's.

If anyone is looking for a real insight into the old underbelly of the English "hooligan" culture, I highly recommend the book "Among the Thugs" by Bill Buford.

There is also a good documentary on Youtube that I think was produced by the BBC about Hooliganism over there. Not sure what its called but its two parts on youtube. Just use the search feature, it was very good, if you are interested in that stuff.

For Podcasts I've been listening to "The Football Ramble" for the past year or so. It along with the Guardian's "Football Weekly" are my two mainstays when it comes to podcasts.

When Barry Glendenning is not on Football Weekly, I get very upset.

The ESPNsoccernet pod has officially changed it's name to the ESPN FC Podcast.

Adjust your subscriptions accordingly.

Tried all 3, just too dry for my taste. It's like I'm back in class listening to a lecture on Chaucer.
