Just rented this yesterday and was thoroughly entertained. Basically this movie is shot quasi-documentary style about the lives of hardcore English soccer hooligan's. Pure entertainment ! Basically a cross between Goodfellas and Snatch, It's not as good as either of those films but if you liked them then you will most likely enjoy this. Seriously consider watching this film with the subtitles on as these working class London accents are a bit hard to follow if you aren't straining to hear, however kicking someone's head in translates surprisingly well.

Chanced across this while taking in a bit of Prodigy in between laundry loads. There are several regular speed and sound excerpts of football factory on youtube, but they are not embeddable. Anyone else have a review?

Looks fucking awesome- going to try to find it on the way home. Thanks!
"Are you gonna sit in some poxy office with a cunt for a boss telling you what to do as you count your pennies trying to make ends meet in a country that's sinking into strikes and wars and at the end of the day you go home to your cosy little flat in 'nowheresville' and pull your IKEA curtains shut to hide from the big bad world and pretend it's not happening? Or are you gonna stand up and be counted, make a difference and feel the rush? Just for once say "fuck it". I'm coiled up like a spring and I'm ready to burst and wanking ain't doing it anymore. I need violence to make me feel I'm still alive. I know what I'd rather do, mate. Tottenham away. Love it!"No Roger, No Rerun, No Rent

Good film, avoids politically correct morality bullshit and gives an insight in to a violent world. Some of those involved in making the film had convictions for football violence, maybe gives it some authenticity.
If you liked Snatch, Lock Stock etc check out RocknRolla
