Do You Want to Win?

I'm a Hull City fan so maybe I'm biased - we 'ate Leeds apparently. But even if this film was about Hull City (we were in the premier league and got to an FA Cup Final, honest) I'd have wanted more footage of the games. Whilst I found this film interesting, it got a bit dull after a while 'cos it was talking head after talking head. The film needed some action. If there were more game highlights it would've been a good watch. And yet it's got great reviews - but disappointing. 5 out of ten

Oh dear, this was a very amateur, boring view. Football platitudes after football platitudes, after football cliches, after platitudes, and about 3 minutes of action. The banality of dull-witted, uninspiring, and frankly insipid ex-players who are going through the motions, telling stories they've lived off for a few decades, spoken in pubs to people who've likely heard them ten times already. The team had one of the most exciting players of the decade, and it gets about 2 minutes of screenplay - did the then Leeds Chairman edit it, ha ha?

It's almost like history repeating. Manager focussed on extreme fitness gets Leeds up to top division. The stories of Leeds' promotion from old Div 2 to Div 1 with characters like Vinny Jones and David Batty is amazing and well worth a watch by any Leeds fan.

A football film should surely be packed with in-game action. This isn't. Don't tell me - show me! Disappointing.

A lovely look back at how football is so much more than just 90 minutes on the pitch. If all the stars aline and someone as a dream big enough anything is possible in the beautiful game.
