Quite, not really due to the genre but more location. AQOTWF was filmed mostly in Prague with a predominantly European (mainland) cast and a good chunk of BoD was shot in Yorkshire.

Possibly a walk-on or featured role in both. I'll have to ask them.

I personally don't think AQOTWF is that great an adaptation. Good film - poor adaptation. I can still appreciate both flips of the coin in this respect. If it wasn't an adaptation from a German classic then without a doubt it's a superb picture but it is and adaptation and I feel it failed in key parts to adapt in the right moments.

Interesting reading here in that regard - German critics haven't taken to it as well as the RoW critics have.

It's a different world from 1990. Our demotion happened bang in the middle of Italia 90 and was headlines for a few days but then the World Cup distracted everyone.

No social media, no fans phone ins or 24 hours sports coverage. We were limited to marches, petitions or bombarding the FL with letters asking for Wembley ticket money back.

IIRC we stopped our legal challenge as delaying the fixtures being published meant no football pools (remember them folks) and we could we liable for the lost revenue.

The next season 90/91 we played away Newcastle on Boxing Day so clearly had Sunderland's fixtures!

…the ‘wide?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. What an utterly Pointless thread !!

You've all gone softer than Prince Andrew in bed with anyone over 18.

Why haven't any of you called HenryHallsHeid a cunt yet? It is the usual gesture after all.

Insightful but Triple H, welcome cunt

Probably reducing our debt by £5m

Surely it's about time a serious question was raised to the AB about where all the Twine, McKirdy & James Brophy munney has gone?

Are you requiring the Pullman Coach or Des Wagons-Lits with full dining service WB?

Got attached to the little buggers.

Not so. They could impose a large points deduction which would not be enough to relegate them but sufficient to render a season meaningless and unable to qualify for European competition. Chuck in a transfer ban for a few windows and that’d do it.
