Amazing book. It really puts you inside the head of a hooligan and shows how rational their mentality seems to them. Says a lot about the working class and British culture and politics too.

The film is entertaining. (Another example of a British film ranked half or a full point below what it should be on IMDb).
Might read the book on Saturday. I mean... what else are you gonna do on a Saturday? Sit in your fuckin' armchair wankin' off to Pop Idols? Then try and avoid your wife's gaze as you struggle to come to terms with your sexless marriage? Then go and spunk your wages on kebabs, fruit machines and brasses? Fuck that for a laugh! I know what I'd rather do.

I have quoted the savage opening couple of sentences more than once on here/old sports board. I remember reading the opening for the first time and just chortling, wondering why Coventry City had been picked on to slaughter from the off. What's Coventry ever done to anyone, I remember thinking. It's been a good few years since I read it, so I'm guessing that Coventry just happened to be the next opponents?
"CHAPTER ONE : Coventry are fuck all. They've got a shit team and shit support. Hitler had the right idea when he flattened the place."
The film did have some brilliant lines, though. What about Bill winding up the lad Zeberdee?
- I'll tell you something, Zeberfuckindee, I think I should take you outside and teach you a lesson for mugging me off and making me look a c**t in front of my fuckin' pals. - I... I didn't say nothing. - Come on, outside, you little fuckin' stumblebum. - Leave it out, eh? - Stop mutterin' and stutterin' and fuckin' liven yourself up. [Tense pause] I fuckin' had you there! Fuckin' hell, Zeb, you should have seen your fuckin' face. I thought you was gonna burst into tears. What is it, four, five... eight lagers, Donna, please, babe

Liked that one. I remember one I saw in the 90's where the guy was putting speed on his cornflakes, he was an undercover cop and he'd completely lost it. I.D.(95) was the name of it.

Guy's a total psychopath (obviously). The scene that stands out for me is when they're in a pub and he clocks some geezer he doesn't like the look of. The geezer goes to the toilet, and Tommy walks in behind him, grabs the geezer's head and smashes it against the wall.
