IS THIS FILM ABOUT WEST HAM SEEING AS RAY AND DANNY ARE WEST HAM FANS??
shareIt's a fictional story apparently, but there are certain similarities to a famous ex-West Ham manager who still manages in England.
shareThe writer, Tony Grounds, is well known for including a reference toWest Ham in all his screenplays, but funnily enough I did not spot it in this film. Maybe the fact that Ray Winstone and Danny Dyer were in it was sufficient West Ham connection.
shareit must be, i mean west hams the only football club worth any credit these days.. AND i would just like to say WE meaning WEST HAM should of won the game the other day...
shareCan we stop with the West Ham bashing now please? We are having a bad enough season as it is without the rest of the IMDB chiming in!! After the disappointment of THAT game in May, and the comings and goings of Argentinians and Managers, I would like us to start 2007 by trying to STAY in the Premiership. That's all I wanted to say. By the way, we have a lot more famous fans as well, not just showbiz bandwagon jumpers (Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal etc...)
sharethe youngerst thing did sound like theo walcott, but arsenal or arsene wenger wont sell him on!
This to me seemed more like bolton. Winstone = Allerdyce dyer the managers son who's a players agent... panorama anyone.
but then again... bolton buying an english youngster???
am i having a laugh?
It was filmed in Coventry and the stadium is the Ricoh Arena. I assumed the team wasn't supposed to be any particular 'real' team, but seemed to be very much like Coventry City a few seasons ago, before they dropped out of the Premier League.
shareAs a West Ham supporter I'd recommend you read "Broken Dreams" by Tom Bower. Specifically the chapter on Harry Redknapp...
