The greatest man football has ever seen talks about politics, and you also see a very bad speech by Michael Foot!!
I know very little about Don Revie but from this video I do not really like him.
As Alan Partridge once said: "I won't let him do that, he'd batter you"
"
Maybe a low in the man's life.

Youtube Clips
This is a little like Sports Round, formerly presented by F1 Supremo Jake Humphreys, but better.
Firstly, seeing as it is Manchester City vs. Liverpool this weekend here is a clip of Manchester City trouncing Liverpool 3-1 in the 1977-78 season (Dalglish's finishing is woeful).
All I have to say for this video is "What do you want four fucking cars for?" Golden.
Graveson, the machine, tries to twat cry baby

Roy Keane on THE Ireland Game
Roy Keane issued a furious response to Ireland's campaign for a replay of their World Cup qualifier play-off second leg against France, saying "what goes around comes around" for the Football Association of Ireland.
The Ipswich Town manager's relationship with the FAI broke down following his walk-out from the Republic of Ireland training camp prior to the 2002 World Cup. And he dismissed their calls for "the honesty and integrity" of the sport to be protected in the wake of Thierry Henry's handball which led to France's winner in Paris on Wednesday night.
The former Ireland midfielder was in a characteristically fierce mood as he launched a withering attack on Irish football's governing body: "They can complain all they want but France are going to the World Cup – get over it," he said.
"France were there for the taking and Ireland didn't do it. Same old story. I think the supporters deserve better, the manager [Giovanni Trapattoni] deserves better and probably most of the players deserve better, but I'm not sure the FAI deserve better. What goes around comes around.
"People seem to forget what was going on in that World Cup, and that man [FAI chief executive John Delaney] is on about honesty. I was one of the players and he didn't have the courtesy to ring me. I'd been involved with Ireland since I was 15 years of age and that man didn't have the decency to make a phone call. He could have phoned me, of course he could have."
Keane pointed out that controversial decisions also went Ireland's way in the qualifying campaign, not least a harsh penalty award against Georgia which helped them claim a 2-1 qualifying win in February. "Ireland had their chances in the two games [against France], and they never took them," he said. "But it's the usual FAI reaction - 'We've been robbed, the honesty of the game.' There was one match against Georgia where Ireland got a penalty and it was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen which changed the whole course of the game. I don't remember the FAI after the game saying we should give them a replay."
Talking about France's winner, Keane laid the blame on Ireland's defence rather than Henry, who handled the ball before crossing for William Gallas to head in. "I'd focus on why they didn't clear it," he said. "I'd be more annoyed with my defenders and my goalkeeper than Thierry Henry. How can you let the ball bounce in your six-yard box? How can you let Thierry Henry get goal-side of you? If the ball goes into the six-yard box, where the hell is my goalkeeper?".

Christmas has arrived, and you can tell due to the small number of Christmas adverts sneaking onto TV already, soon the small number of adverts will turn into masses. You will not be able to move without getting slapped in the face by Jamie Oliver and then told to get to Sainsbury’s and buy your turkey! The voice of Ruby will grate on you for two months as she demands we go and buy an auto-biography of a comedian/footballer/TV personality/cook, any other time of the year no one would even dare buy any of these, unless they’re really interested, but soon, senial grandma’s and parents will be going “Heath likes football, let’s buy him Alan Ball’s biography”, not remembering I don’t care about a little man who through sheer luck won the world cup, but this doesn’t care, because I like football.
None of the adverts are more insulting than Morrisons! Richard Hammond, a man who can stand in front of a camera and read a autocue, but then gets his massive breakthrough because he cannot drive, tells me that I HAVE to go and buy mince pies. Why is he doing the advert? What social strata does he attract? The middle class dad’s with terrible haircuts and shit jackets, but last time I looked the majority of people who pack into ASDA are families or women, so why is he pushing a trolley through the North or South poll? Everyone knows it never snows at Christmas.
The worst tragedy is that when you say you hate the adverts you are “Scrooge” No, I do not like a television screen trying to convince me to pass the little money I have on shit gifts for people I probably don’t like, but sadly share a bloodline with.
Abandon Christmas adverts and just play the Elvis supergroup advert
or, the Peter Kay adverts for John Smith (here's one)

Kick Ass (the movie, I'm not telling you to go out there and be violent)
A Superhero film due out sometime next year, I wouldn't post this usually, but it has my all time hero Nicolas Cage in it, so I thought why the fuck not. Here is the trailer, doesn't look mind blowing and it doesn't look shit, so I'm not going watching it.
The White Ribbon - 4/5
My review would be crap because it would take me about four hours to find all the names of the German actors, plus I have a very boring essay to write. But I will say that all the kids in the movie were awesome casting, especially Rudi (the doctor’s son) and the youngest son of the community priest, especially the injured bird scene.
So here you go:

Sold Out!
After not being interested in watching music live since Offset in September today I have been reignited due to a love of the new Flaming Lips album, Embryonic, and also seeing the announcement that Pixies will be playing Primavera Festival in May 2010. However, in the traditional Heath Linn sense every gig I want to go to now has already sold out, and by every gig I mean two gigs, Major Lazer w/ Toddla T & Boy 8-Bit and The Flaming Lips, two gigs where the tickets had been on sale since the Summer Holidays. This is a familiar theme in my history of purchasing gig tickets, and none more painful than Jonathan Richman just a month ago.
There has only been one occasion when I have gone out there and been proactive in not wasting time and buying the ticket straight away – Nick Cave, and that was full of boring old farts who were trying to find their gothic roots from 25 years ago.
Anyway, if I have money left over tomorrow after my fortnightly shop I may go to the academy and try to buy a tout ticket for The Flaming Lips, as has Q magazine says, you have to watch them live before you die, and I plan on dying in the future.

Fearless Vampire Killers Review and New Trailer
Watching Roman Polanski’s 1967 vampire horror movie, Fearless Vampire Killers, thirty two years after its production I am given the feeling that the movie is a kitsch comedy of traditional investigative vampire movies. Definitely one of the best vampire movies I have seen, considering just the other day I sadly saw the homo-erotic Vampire movie horror starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. Plus, if anyone says Lt. Aldo Raines is Pitt’s worse performance they have to watch that plane wreckage of racism.
Fearless Vampire Killers follows Professor Abronsius (Jack MacGowran) and his introvert apprentice Alfred (Roman Polanski) as they arrive in central Europe after a search across the rest of Europe for a mysterious murderer. Professor Abronsius findings have found him being outcast by the academic vanguard, and old, tired and on many occasions suffering from the cold weather they have hit. Alfred soon finds a love interest – the daughter of the in-law, played by his future wife, Sharon Tate.
After attacks on the landlord and his daughter, the inquisitive pairing go off on an amusing search towards the Counts castle. Drama and hilarity ensues as Polanski, and moreover Jack MacGowran give hilarious and strong performances, Sharon Tate also puts in a sombre and expressionless display as well. The searches of the castle in the daylight causes a lot of drama and funny situations – the Professor becoming stuck in the window of the Counts chamber, Alfred being chased around the castle by the Counts homosexual son, dancing in a hall of vampires in hope to save the landlords daughter and the ultimate ending.
Whilst Polanski’s character is a tranquil state of mind, believing he has saved the one woman he loves from certain death it appears they’re too late and instead the one thing they had been hoping to quell and stop, they actually help on its journey to world domination and destruction, just as the Count had hoped.
For some bizzare reason the Studios hasn't enabled embedding for the trailer for the soon to be released in Britain movie The Limits of Control, which impressively has Bill Murray in a role of authority. So, here is the link, because that's the best I can do, sorry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7LsEJcxJs8
Also, a little belated, but here is the trailer for The White Ribbon, a tail of a small town, also known to be a allogory for Fascism - today I watched my second Haneke movie - The Time of the Wolf - and really enjoyed it, so I am definitely off to watch The White Ribbon when it's released (13th November).

Film Library
Today I saw my first proper film library, if you don't count the video rental giant Global Video. I was sat around the halls kitchen with the man-dem and then Eva and Oliver came back with DVDs from the library - which were free! So, like a proper film nerd I ran into my repugnent room and pulled on a pair of split Levis jeans (I'm just trying to illustrate my poverty) and my woman's coat and walked at pace to the library.
When arriving I just saw stacks and stacks of films about the Royal coronation and historical footage of the Vietnam war, World War I&II, Kennedy Assasination and all the other important historical events. I thought 'is this it?', but then Hammond jr. strolled in and started jamming on his guitar.
That last bit is a lie, of course, but I wondered around browsing at all the old cassettes and DVDs of classics like Casablanca, Last Tango in Paris, King Lear (joke), Wizard of Oz etc. and then finally found the foreign cinema section and I could have had a wank right there and then. Shelves filled up with Herzog, Fritz, Fassbender, Bergman, Godard, Kurosawa, Chan-Wook, Melville, Loach, Leigh, Haneke, Hitchcock and...Robocop (Don't know why that was there)
Sadly, I was only allowed to take three DVDs at a time so this has acted as an influence to buy a new PC for my room so I can watch these endless DVDs and do work of course. Oh, I took out Time of the Wolf by Haneke, Naked by Mike Leigh and L'armee Des Ombres by Melville. I am really looking forward to filling my head with cinema history...and Robocop.

Beauty Sleep
Recently, the past two weeks or so, I have been shit scared of going to sleep in the dark. I look around my room and my eyes & brain are not working with one another. For example, last night there were two shadows, but to me I became scared and thought Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin, two men responsible for millions of deaths. But this is not all that happens, I’ve also started to see people when I close my eyes – people will be dancing, staring over the top of me, cackling and other frightening imagery; one example being all the girls in my flat stood over the top of me brandishing kitchen knives – to which I leapt out of bed.
I would now like to tell you about the most surreal and weird dream I’ve had in the past six months. It goes like this:
A man, whose mind is mine, but the body is not, plays for Everton football team and we’re playing against what seems to be a bunch of Sunday league footballers and we’re playing in a cemetery. However, whilst I am playing up front, Yakubu is not, he is not happy about this.
Firstly the former Portsmouth star sabotages my shorts – giving me a pair that are way too big for me and keep falling down and I wasn’t able to replace the shorts till the second half, by which time it was too late. Due to the shorts I was able to score as every time an opportunity arose my shorts would start to fall down!
So, we reach half-time and Yakubu gives me a packet of Skips (unaware to me the Skips are laced with Valium), as, according to Yakubu, we’re all out of fruit, due to this I was slow and lethargic for the rest of the dream. After this, on the way to the dressing room, Yakubu gave me the wrong directions to the changing rooms and I ended up in some sort of warehouse or slaughterhouse. This meant I missed the managers half time talk and the beginning of the second half.
However, that doesn’t matter by the end of the dream as I was met by an unpleasant crowd of Yakubu’s busies and Yakubu himself. Yakubu brandished a mini-chainsaw and started to attack me with it, getting a few hits, but with relatively no pain on my character (So I thought) and then I kept catching the chainsaw, but after a while of this my hand were cut off. For some reason I was now next to a mountain edge and was totally battered, with cuts, bruises and missing limbs all over my body.
In the end, I crawled over the edge of the mountain and jumped up in a cold sweat as I was falling. Paranoia man in cheap shit room.
