    Looks a decent film, but could be the greatest work of fiction ever!

    Anyone looking forward to seeing Old Big 'Ead???

    I'll be going to watch, although I notice the Clough family are not happy with either the book nor the film based on it. For the record, I'd say a much broader and insightful all round view on the man is the "Provided you dont kiss me" bio by Duncan Hamilton. Reinforces how stale football management has become, particularly in the Premiership. Watching the likes of Benitez murder the English language on MOTD makes me wish we had a few more Cloughies

    Apparently it's great for football fans

    A few of my mates have seen it already
    One described it as being like " a nice warm bath"
    Worth a watch
    I got bored of the book - I like Peace but his books tend ro run out of steam, or maybe thats my attention span!

    Michael Sheen is bizarre

    In the film he looks like Brian Clough. But when he played Tony Blair he looked like Tony Blair. And when he played Kenneth Williams he looked like Kenneth Williams. He is metamorphism man.

    My holiday was brilliant thanks - we were in Miami
    The boys had a great in Barbados, I couldn't make the trip, from what I can gather and the flag did em proud.
    Hope all well with you
