I haven't written about soccer in months. I've been watching EPL almost every weekend and especially Sundays at Four Courts, but I haven't been inspired to write about anything. Soon though.
I just watched The Damned United, a movie about England's greatest manager, Brian Clough. Michael Sheen, the actor that plays Brian Clough happens to look a lot like Donagh, the bartender at O'Sulley's, the "other" Irish bar. (relevance? none)
The Damned United is a great movie, but what soccer movie isn't? OK, nvm, Goal with Kuno Becker was pretty terrible. This movie is all about bromance, the guys that really hold the power in English football, and a "cocky little twat from the northeast." Clough is such a lovable prick, he can really only be from England.
And the clips from the 70s are fantastic (as are the booty shorts the players wore back then.)
Point is... watch it.
