Mark and Lard's Nightmare of a DVD

Advantages: Funny clips (if you've never seen any football film/programme like it)
Disadvantages: Mark and Lard are idiots, all clips been seen before

...also many pointless clips of Mark and Lard (whoever they are) acting like total idiots. Some sketches are quite funny but most of them are pointless and are in there to try and extend the length of this DVD. In all, there is probably only about 30 minutes of football action. This DVD has been rated a PG because it contains moderate violence and sex references - it should maybe even be higher (e.g. 12A) because anything with sex references should ...
...particular football DVD. Mark and Lard I think Mark and Lard just decided to jump on the footballing cock-up bandwagon and make their own DVD to try and make money. To be fair, they probably did - but they are still total imbeciles. They act like football hooligans and nutcases throughout which doesn't send out a particularly great message to the younger generation. They are seen drinking beer and even playing with guns (they even shoot ...

Great comedy film!

Advantages: fact based comedy film, great cast

Review of A League Of Their Own (DVD)

Sublime footballing artistry from a French master

Advantages: A fascinating study of 90 minutes with a footballing legend
Disadvantages: Probably not that interesting for non footy fans

...Christmas present from Ms Larsbaby. Zidane is a living footballing legend, blessed with sublime skill and grace, his movements easy on the eye for any viewer. This film was basically following the great man around during the course of one of his games. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT YOU DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS Zinedine Zidane is possibly one of the greatest footballers ever. Born in 1972, Zidane's parents are immigrants from Algeria, and the young Zidane ...
...2000. At 66 million Euros, Zidane became the world's most expensive footballer, joining the Galacticos at Real Madrid in 2001. He retired after the 2006 World Cup in controversial circumstances, receiving a red card in the World Cup Final after headbutting an Italian defender (Zidane later claimed the defender had made some offensive remarks about his family). The picture of the dismissed Zidane trudging past the World Cup on his way back to the ...

Advantages: Some decent parts and good extras

The DVD is basically the behind-the-scenes story of Manchester Uniteds ups and downs of the previous 99/00 season. (That ...
