Just a heads-up. BBC2 tonight (Sunday) at 10.30pm. It does well to condense the quite lengthy book into ninety minutes. The largely factual account of Brian Clough and his 44 days in charge of Leeds United. I've seen it two or three times but not for a while, so I'll be enjoying another watch. Michael Sheen ain't bad as Cloughie but it's Timothy Spall (an actor I can't usually take) who stands out as Peter Taylor. One of the things the film (and the book - actually published as a novel) revealed to me was, despite his public bravado, the moments of apparent vulnerability - well, maybe not vulnerability but little frailties, insecurities of Clough in his quieter moments. Of course, we all know what happened when Clough joined Forest after the Leeds debacle but what happened before is just as startling in its way.

What the hell thread do I put this on? It's quite funny, I think. From the Guardian Football's Said & Done Awards 2016/17 :
Most Confused - Twitter’s @therealmikedean, US hip hop producer, facing down haters in January: “i’m not a reff”; “wrong mike dean”; “soccer is wack”; and “I AM NOT A SOCCER REFF U LIMEY F***. DO YOUR RESEARCH.”

DO YOUR RESEARCH.” The next tweet has to be "yeah I can tell you're not a ref, learn the fucking rules mate because that was a disgraceful decision at the weekend Mike, disgraceful." I imagine he is already being trolled though. Damned United; great film. Best sporting film there is IMO.

Loved it. More impressively, my wife loved it.

Haven't seen it but I'm a firm believer in the saying: "if it's got Colm Meaney in it, then it's good."
