fans 'United'

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...What can I say that hasn't already been said about England's most prolific football club. Most people know everything from the Munich air disaster to the treble season of 1998/99, two hugely differing events in the history of an absolutely fantastic football team. I personally have been priveleged to support such a great side ever since my birth in 1986, and having gone on to see them roughly 500 times in various areas of the country (and the world).

Review of Manchester United

Damned United DVD - A damned good watch!

Advantages: Interesting & entertaining portrayal of one one of football's real characters
Disadvantages: Football movies aren't to everyone's taste, controversial character

...for outspokenness and willingness to challenge authority, in addition to his determination and ability to beat all the odds. However, as his powers waned, he unfortunately became a bitter old man, seemingly causing controversy for the sake of it. His comments on the Liverpool fan's involvement in Hillsborough were hurtful beyond measure and were also stupid and wrong and have left a deep impression on many people. Despite his huge success as a player and manager, the most intriguing period of his career, and the part 'The Damned United' largely focuses on, is also his least successful; his 44 day spell in charge of the Leeds Utd team. Leeds Utd were the dominant team of the era, and with long-term manager Don Revie having just left to take the England job, were in search of the best young manager around. Clough may have fitted the bill, but he...

Review of The Damned United

The Damned United Film Review

Advantages: Story, Characters
Disadvantages: The depiction of Billy Bremner

...It'd be interesting to see who comes out as the winner in a most hated poll between controversial ex-football manager Brian Clough and fallen giants Leeds United, considering that critics and opposing fans have expressed their hatred for both down the years. And whereas The Damned United -- a film which depicts Clough's 44-day employment at the club -- will hardly drastically alter people's opinions on either of the subjects, it is still an incredibly involving [British] drama that warrants the attention of anyone interested in football. The same can be said of the book by David Peace, from which the film's story is based upon. Despite friends and family reacting angrily to the author's depiction of Clough's erratic train of thought, it really is a fascinating, semi-fictionalised account of one of the sport's most popular figures. Tom...

United Online

Advantages: The website is incredibly professional looking, and packed full of useful information.
Disadvantages: Sometimes updates can take place a little too sporadically.

...For generations now my family has followed Oxford United Football Club, I've always had an interest in Manchester United also but Oxford United is without doubt my football team of choice. Being born in Oxford I was always around fans of the club from a young age and this is something that helped shape my support for the Oxford United football team. The official Oxford United website is therefore one that I have spent a lot of time on over the years, a website where I can go to learn all the latest news about my football team of choice and keep up with such details as the current league table and the latest fixtures and results. Oxford United is now a football team in the Blue Square Premier (the fifth tier of English football), a lot of teams in the league have extremely amateur looking websites but the Oxford United one is an excellent...

Review of Manchester United

United they Stood

Advantages: A superb ensemble and great direction.
Disadvantages: Knowing the outcome, it can be harrowing to watch.

...On September 11th 2001 the western world reeled as America experienced the biggest terrorist attack on their home ground. New Yorkers looked on in terror and disbelief as two airliners ploughed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Another plane crashed into the Pentagon, hitting at the heart of the government. But a third aircraft never reached its target, crashing to earth in a field in rural Pennsylvania. No-one knows exactly what happened aboard United Airlines Flight 93, but it is thought the passengers decided to fight back against the hijackers, knowing what had already befallen the other planes. To be honest, I though it was too early for a fictionalised film based on the events of 9/11. I was worried that they would be seized upon for as a tub-thumping vindication for Bush's ill-conceived War on Terror. It was...

Review of United 93 (DVD)

Manchester United - Champions.

Advantages: great entertainment, great to watch, good hobby.
Disadvantages: can get to addicted, costs quite a lot to view in real life.

...I am a huge Manchester United fan, i have been a season ticket for years and they are WELL WORTH the money. i went to Rome to watch the might reds in action against Barcelona, yes we lost, but still we won it the year before :) Manchester united are the biggest team in the world as many people will know :) I have always loved Manchester united as should everyone, we have the biggest fan base in the world and have the biggest club stadium in the UK. Old Trafford - The theatre of dreams, holds up to 76.000 people all cheering on the champions of the world, Europe and England and when its not going right we shout even louder, at home when we were 2.0 down to Tottenham and things were not going well the crowd lifted the players and we ended up turning the match round and winning the game 5.2 the whole Premiership were shocked as most...

Review of Manchester United

Trackmania United

Advantages: Great gameplay, Doesn't need a monster PC, Great online community.
Disadvantages: Misses the stunt mode, Perhaps not enough new features for some people

...Trackmania United is the latest edition of the popular puzzle racing game that found a unique niche in the PC video game market. It brings together all the environments found in previous releases. Ice, Desert and rally from Trackmania Original, Island Bay and Coast from Trackmania Sunrise, and finally the Stadium environment from the freely available Trackmania nations developed specially for the Electronic Sports World Cup. Visually the game is very good with a game engine designed to make the most of modern PC technology. That said it is possible to run the game comfortably on older machines by reducing the detail levels and special effects. But of course although impressive, fancy graphics are not what the game is about. This version of the game has for the first time integrated online gaming, peer to peer file sharing...
