Worst Film EVER?!?
This is probabily the worst film ever made, even Sean Bean couldn't pull it round. They could have chosen a descent club to make it about, but the bLaDeS, they haven't done ANYTHING in DECADES!
Up The Owls!

Who cares about players scoring for the blades such as in this film...YOU'VE GOT......................................D A V I D G R A H A M DUM DUM DUUUUUUM! see you december the third piggie
shareSheffield United are the best team in Yorkshire football. At least there not importing players left, right and centre like Arse-nal or chelsea.
Sometimes supporting teams with a little excitment is more interesting.
I am 100% BLADE and always will be.
"Oh. Didn't we tell you? You get to live forever"
Yeah but only coz Leeds went bankrupt, and it's not gonna last for long.
shareWhoever says supporting Sheff Utd is "Exciting" needs mental help !!
shareOh are you just MENTAL cause your team is CR*P.
Dont be sour, Its not your fault. Bless them they cant think of a better come back then that. never mind.
"Oh. Didn't we tell you? You get to live forever"
THE BLADES ARE GOING UP LEEDS HAD THEIR TIME AND MESSED IT UP, YORKSHIRE IS RED AND WHITE NOW AND WILL BE FOR SOME TIME!!!
shareYorkshire is red and white?
Nah, Barnsley arent that good...
Up the Argyle, roll on February 11!

Who could possibly get excited about playing at bramall lane? oldest major stadium in the world and it shows. shoulda used wednesday as the team, at least then there would have been actual fixtures against premiership opponents.
shareshould've used wednesday for genuine premiership fixtures?, god, is the film THAT old!!!!.
I love this film, and choosing the blades is almost certainly down to choice of actor, Bean would never have made the film in blue and white (incidentaly, Joe Elliot wouldn't have touched the theme song either). oh yes, and are those Leeds fans still laughing now???.
Sean Bean wouldn't have done this film if it hadn't been the Sheffield United as he is a Blades supporter.
Speaking as a non Blades supporter I think he did a really good job.
He always wanted to play for the blades until he picked up an injury and couldn't.
Caught the last half hour of this on the telly last night, I had forgotten how utterly atrocious it was. It's not as if they didn't have a decent cast. It seems as if there'll never be a decent football movie.
shareClearly, people are judging this film negatively mainly because of the club it focuses on. They probably chose United because a) the writers most likely support United and b) Because they wouldn't be able to get Sean Bean in if they'd chosen Wednesday as he's a 100% Blade.
Personally I don't think this is the worst film ever, there's much much much worse out there such as Home Alone 4 which in my opinion is the worst film I've seen. I think Bean's performance is solid as usual and I think he's great at playing working-class roles like this, having come from almost the exact background as the character of Jimmy. It in fact almost seems like a(n) (auto)Biopic of the life of Sean Bean as before he went into acting he worked in the steel works and played football before suffering a career-ending injury.
The acting overall feels very natural as the majority of the actors appear to be playing themselves. Obviously, this is no Oscar-worthy film, but yet what football films are, the makers don't tend to aspire to win awards making films like these.
I think it's a decent enough film, I don't support either Wednesday or United but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the film. The fact it's a Bean film is enough to get me hooked as I'm a huge fan of his.
... Up The Gunners ;)
I love this film. It was hugely popular in my secondary school in the late 90's, this film and Fever Pitch. Everybody had both on VHS, and nobody really cared that the two teams at the centre of the plot were Sheffield United and Arsenal.
