The Damned United

Watched the Cloughie movie yesterday.
Pretty good I have to say, which is rather unusual for a movie on football.
I know it's a comment used far too often however "it's not as good as the book". Personally I think that Clough's hatred of Leeds wasn't portrayed as well as it was in the book. Also there are some bits in the movie (for example: the rather eventful interview in the Yorkshire TV studio with Don Revie) which are not mentioned at all in the book.
I am aware that the Clough family aren't keen on this movie at all so it remains to be seen whether the movie gives a real picture of Old Big Head or not.
Nonetheless it is a very enjoyable movie, possibly even for non-football fans. The reconstruction of England in the Seventies is quite fascinating, with its crappy stadia (particularly Baseball Ground in Derby), its boardrooms full of smoke and flamboyant haircuts.
