Trivia:
When Sarah asks Paul to quote Byron, he quotes a famous couplet, "The Assyrians came down like the wolf on the fold; / Their cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold." But he changes "purple and gold" to "black and old gold." These are the colors of the Wolves football team.

Goofs:
Anachronisms: When, as a child, Paul Ashworth goes to see the Reading FC game, the Reading FC Club Badge on the rosette of the supporters is the one which did not come into being until around the 1987-1988 season. The badge that should have been worn in the 1970s, when the match took place, was the old style 'Elm Trees' badge.

Quotes:
Jo:
[regarding Sarah's sudden interest in her boyfriend's favorite team] It's all a sinister form of male manipulation.
Sarah Hughes: Rubbish!
Jo: It's true! You get colonized! Your native culture gets driven out, and it's replaced by stuff that you don't like and don't even want to know about.

I adored this film. I had seen the new, American version before seeing this. I like them both very much. I love the British version because it is about football, and personally I am a football fan.
Colin Firth does a wonderful acting job. This movie is full of good British humor. The characters are put in serious situations that are made humorous (ie the baby), and the lead character's reaction is quite hysterical.
If you enjoy British humor and a good looking British man, you will not be disappointed by this film. It is fun, but it has it's serious moments as well. A very sweet film that analyzes the depths of our mind and how we deal with obsession.
