"It quite clearly isn't *only* a game!"
Two teachers with differing teaching styles clash in the workplace - but opposites attract and Sue surprises herself by falling for the disorganised Paul. br / br /There are three in the relationship though as Paul is football mad and his life revolves around his beloved Arsenal. Sue feels pushed aside during a year where Arsenal are strong contenders for the title, she can't understand Paul's passion for the beautiful game and starts to resent it. br / br /Although football is the cause of much agony in their relationship, we also get to see the positive aspect of football, how it brings people together. From shared moments between a separated father and son, to young and old alike united in the stands. br / br /It's refreshing to see Colin Firth in a role which differs from his usual typecast parts, I've often thought that Colin Firth is a great actor who has been pigeonholed into playing middle-class modern romantics. He does seem to struggle a bit with the accent (but I bet he does a cracking Michael Caine impression) but overall he pulls off the role. br / br /In a nutshell: This is a romantic drama with a good dose of light comedy. You don't have to be a football fan to enjoy the film but it would give it an extra dimension as the football occupies a big proportion of the film br /

Arsenal Nostalgia
Excellent movie with very strong appeal to Arsenal fans, especially those who remember the fabulous dying seconds win at Anfield to take the title. Great for it's humour.

It Isn't Necessary To Be A Gooner To Enjoy This Film
It Really is NOT necessary to be an Arsenal Fan (A Gooner) to enjoy this film - as Nick Hornby manages to capture and portray what it is like to be 'A Football Fan' (The Heaven and Hell we all go through) - Regardless of who you might or might not support - As the film portrays the Highs, Lows, Agony and Ecstasy that most (true) Football fans go through each week, Month and Season.....whether your team be a Big Club or one of the Smaller Clubs - as it is all about the Passion and Love that one holds for ones own team - As Paul The main Character in the film observes how it's possible for your team/club to lift your spirits to the point of ecstasy and then bring you crashing back down to earth the next - which is what it is like being a Football fan.....and so if you are and regardless of whom you support, you will recognise yourself in this film - Providing you are a real football fan - and not an armchair - change your team from week - month type - who knows nothing of loyalty!.. br / br /This is a 6 Stars out of 5!

It's not (only) about football
This film is a love story, and an adaptation from a very good book. I dont care about football, but I'm a Colin Firth fan, and I trully enjoyed this film. Entertaining,and at the same time, complex and intelligent. Really good work. Understated film.

Arsenal before Wenger.
First of all, you do need to be an Arsenal fan. I can't imagine sitting through a similar film about Tottenham. br /For fans of a certain age this film brings back all the memories of the 1988/89 season. You will probably recognise yourself in many of the scenes as I did. br /It's a must watch for all Gooners, buy this film!!
