1. Scream Queens - Monday, 10pm on E4
It's Halloween week, so what better way to mark the occasion by watching a bunch of horror movie clichés screaming their lungs out and being as catty as an Apprentice contestant?
Jamie Lee Curtis stars in this hilariously camp horror anthology series which also contains a who's-who of young stars from Emma Roberts to Lea Michele to Nick Jonas. Even Ariana Grande isn't safe in this Mean Girls vs Midsomer Murders madness.
2. Catastrophe - Tuesday, 10pm on Channel 4
It only feels like yesterday since Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's messed-up romcom began, and we're being spoiled rotten...

Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has given his blessing to the homeless squatters who have taken up residence in his new hotel and allowed them to stay in the building during the winter.
Former Manchester United star Neville and hotel co-owner Ryan Giggs have received planning permission to transform Manchester's historic stock exchange into a new boutique hotel, but the building was sitting empty as the footballers planned for extensive renovations to take place before opening. Housing activists occupied the site on Saturday (October 17).
Wesley Hall, leader of housing activists Manchester Angels, told the Manchester Evening News that he was left "crying and shaking" after talking to Neville on Sunday.
"What a great guy Gary Neville is," Hall said. "We've been in negotiations with him and things are looking good. He said the main building work isn't taking place until February, so we'll be okay to stay until then."
I'm crying.

Documentary film The Class of 92 documented the journeys of a group of footballers as they went from fledgling youth players to worldwide icons in a matter of years.
Now, a new BBC series shows how Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt are taking on the serious side of football: owning a club.

There are few clubs that polarise opinion like Manchester United. Love them or loathe them, you can never ignore them. United have been one of the biggest clubs in the world for decades and are one of the best supported clubs in the world.
Naturally, a club of United’s stature are nearly always linked with players from all over the world.
For a club that has always looked to its youth ranks for talent, United have never been shy of bringing in star players. Even back in the 1960’s George Best and Bobby Charlton, graduates from the youth team were joined by Denis Law, whose transfer from Torino was a British record.
Fast-forward to the Alex Ferguson era, and the like of Giggs, Beckham, Scholes, the Nevilles and Nicky Butt found themselves rubbing shoulders with Eric Cantona, Juan Sebastian Veron and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew was given permission to speak to Crystal Palace yesterday about their vacant manager’s position after the two clubs agreed on a £2 million compensation package.
Pardew’s trusty leftenant, John Carver, has been installed as caretaker manager until The Magpies’ owner Mike Ashley finds a suitable replacement. The Toon are in safe hands if Carver’s record in the role is anything to go by.
The 49-year-old is one of the few managers in the history of football with a 100% win record following his previous tenure as Nufc’s babysitter-in-chief. Albeit, this incredible win percentage came from just one game after the late, great Sir Bobby Robson was inexplicably sacked in September 2004.
The former England manager, who was also assisted by Geordie John, guided Newcastle to three top five finishes, the Champions League second group phase, a UEFA Cup semi-final and...

Although goalkeepers, defenders and forwards are clearly all vital parts of any football team, midfielders are invariably the creative hub, influence and leadership of the side. They contribute both going forward and defensively, and they play in an area of the pitch that is the most pressurised.
Since the start of the Premier League in 1992, we have seen some truly wonderful midfielders grace the greatest league in the world. There have been homegrown talents and foreign imports in abundance, and week in, week out they have showcased their brilliance.
This list looks at who have been the 10 greatest midfielders to grace the English game over the last 22 years, Not the most decorated.

Newcastle United are good at cliches: last season was a season of two halves, fan attempts to dethrone Mike Ashley were marred by in-fighting and theoretical clashes and the side were almost relegated because of the one thing that no side can do without – goals. It’s no surprise then that the club also flirted outrageously with the old adage of being “too good to be relegated” before slipping with a quiet sob and a deflected own goal out of the Premier League at Aston Villa, much to the glee of the locals. For their part, they rubbed the old Geordie Messiah cliche in our tear-stained faces as we went.
Whether that side truly were truly good remains to be seen – what is obvious is that they weren’t too good to be relegated as the final Premier League table proved otherwise, and Mike Ashley was...

★★★☆☆ If you're wondering what to buy that special Liverpool fan in your life this Christmas, then Gabe and Benjamin Turner’s Manchester United-centric documentary The Class of '92 (2013) is definitely one to avoid. Focusing on the legendary golden generation and their influence on the Red Devils' 1999 treble-winning season, the Turner brothers tell the tales of six first team graduates of the 1992 Fa Youth Cup-winning side: David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Phil and Gary Neville, and Paul Scholes. Even the most rudimentary football fan will already be well-versed in the major historical highlights of these young stars.

Scholes the joker, Schmeichel scalding his privates, Beckham just one of the lads … Tom Horan on a film that casts a new light on 90s Manchester and its football heroes
How many documentaries can claim to capture the spirit of an era through the reflections of an ex-prime minister – and the story of a Danish goalkeeper scalding his penis on a giant tea urn? Not many. But it is unquestionably true of The Class of 92, the British film that premiered this week in London.
The Class of 92 is remarkable not just for being an excellent film about football, a subject that rarely translates to the big screen, but for being about so much more. Using interviews and archive footage, it follows six Manchester United players who met in their early teens and together won every honour in club football. But what emerges through the reminiscences of David Beckham,...

Football is intrinsically cinematic. The elation when the ball hits the back of the net, the despair when it doesn’t. The personalities, the transfer story-lines and the hold it has on so many people’s hearts. Documentary makers Benjamin and Gabe Turner play heavily on this notion, as their latest feature The Class of 92, dramatises and illuminates the sport – as we delve into the group of young boys who followed their childhood dreams and became Manchester United legends. You may be concerned that unless you’re a United fan you’ll feel alienated by this picture, but instead we explore a team camaraderie and get inside the politics of football, allowing enough in here for any fan of football to appreciate and enjoy. Yes Liverpool fans, even you.

Ben and Gabe Turner's football documentary The Class of 92 puts Manchester United's treble-winning team of 1999 under the microscope, specifically the six players - David Beckham, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs - who graduated from the club's youth academy and became some of the most decorated players the English game has ever seen.
Simply put, the Turners' film is funny and moving - essential viewing for football fans. Contributions from the likes of Tony Blair and Danny Boyle put the time period of The Class of 92 into a wider cultural context, but at its heart this is a Stand by Me-like tale of six young friends growing up together and sharing many ups and downs.

With The Class of 92 on the horizon, Digital Spy takes a look at eight soccer stories that could make incredible movies...

David Beckham has revealed that he would choose Brad Pitt to play him in a movie.
When asked by talkSPORT's Colin Murray which actor he would like to portray him in a film based on his life, Beckham quipped that "Brad Pitt would be the obvious choice".
"Him or Leonardo DiCaprio, or maybe Bradley Cooper," he added. "They're not bad looking guys!"
Beckham also spoke about his retirement from professional football, saying: "I'm coping pretty well. I had lots of things set up for when I called it a day. I was very lucky I finished my career on such a high.
"My career was pretty successful over the last 20 years and to be able to finish my career at Psg with a trophy, and then walk away from football, was very special.
"It's never easy retiring and it's not easy to walk away from something that you love but...

Director: Ben Turner, Gabe Turner; Starring: David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes; Running time: 99 minutes; Certificate: 12A
It feels like yesterday that Alan Hansen famously wrote off Manchester United's young side at the beginning of the 1995/96 Premier League season, insisting that "you'll never win anything with kids". Yet, here we are over 18 years later, still talking about that very team, enough to warrant a much-anticipated documentary.
The Class of 92 centres around six members of that season's winning side, who rose from the ranks of United's youth team to become some of the most celebrated players in the history of the game. On paper, one may feel this would be aimed purely at Manchester United fans, but soon after the initial introductions, this clearly isn't the case.

The Class of 92 is a splendid film about six Manchester United friends living their (and our) dreams
Who knew? It is difficult to imagine a feature-length film charting the rise of six Manchester United footballers from Fa Youth Cup to Champions League winners being so laugh-out-loud funny. The Class of 92 is no comedy but it expertly and easily aces the six-guffaw test by which such movies stand or fall in the world of the Observer film critic, Mark Kermode.
Football, friendship and fame are the prevailing themes of a splendid documentary made by the film-making brothers Gabe and Ben Turner, but there is no shortage of funny either. Reunited for just one day last summer, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Phil and Gary Neville, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes clearly revelled in recalling their seven-year ascent through the United ranks, from put-upon first year apprentices to treble-winning kings of Europe.

While phrases like The Red Devils and Old Trafford might not have much meaning for North American audiences, for those overseas, it's the nickname and home of Manchester United. One of the most celebrated, popular, beloved (and hated) soccer teams in the world, their reach has broken beyond the sport thanks to superstars like David Beckham. But a forthcoming documentary is going take things back a couple of decades to when someone like Beckham was just another player on the pitch. The trailer for "The Class Of '92" should be fascinating for both footie fans and the unfamiliar, as it features folks like director Danny Boyle, Tony Blair and Eric Cantona giving context to the rise of the club in the early '90s. Six key players—Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Phil and Gary Neville—also take part in the doc, talking about their time together...

It charts the rise of 6 footballing mad friends David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Phil and Gary Neville and their time at Man United, how they rocketed to hguie celebrity status and how their lives changed because of it.
From the trailer below, it seems to be a frank and honest account of their times at the club, how to them it was just a bit of fun playing football with their best friends and how the era changed for both them and football. Featuring interviews with the likes of Danny Boyle, Tony Blair and Eric Cantona, we get to hear about how culture was changing during this time in so many respects, how Oasis were the biggest band...

Former Manchester United and England icon David Beckham is confident new boss David Moyes can guide the defending Premier League champions to the title in his first season in charge of the Red Devils.
Beckham admitted that Moyes faces a tough job at Old Trafford as the first manager to replace Sir Alex Ferguson following the legacy that the retired Manchester United boss has left behind.
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Beckham said:
“I’m sure he has had lot of mentoring, he is one of those managers that has always picked up the phone and spoken to Sir Alex.
“It was always going to be difficult job for whoever succeeded Sir Alex because of what the manager has brought to Manchester United, what he has brought to the game.
“It’s going to be interesting, but I still think United will win the league. I’m a Manchester United fan!

Well, here we go again. Silly season is almost upon us. The new television deal struck by the Premier League with BskyB and British Telecom is worth a barely believable £3.018 Billion over the next three seasons. An incredible 70% increase on the current deal.
Added into the mix, Manuel Pellegrini and Jose Mourinho are newly installed head coaches at perennial heavy spenders – Man City and Chelsea respectively. Both bosses will want to put a personal stamp on their respective squads but perhaps the most intriguing events will unfold at Old Trafford where the post Sir Alex Ferguson era begins.
Much has been speculated regarding who the current Premier League champions are going to sign, with a plethora of midfielders and a select few defenders linked in recent months. Since the announcement of David Moyes, it has been widely assumed that Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines would follow suit from the Toffees.

Since the start of the English Premier League back in 1993 so many greats have graced the league, especially in the famous red of Manchester United. Sir Alex’s team have been the most successful force of the entire era, thanks to a gallery of iconic players. Players ranging from King Cantona, to the ‘Golden Generation’ (which included the Neville brothers, David Beckham, Nicky Butt and the evergreen Scholes and Giggs), to the great striking quartet of the 1999 treble winning campaign (York, Cole, Solskjaer and Sheringham), and up to the most recent additions to a start-studded Man United history: Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and one day we might even add Robin Van Persie to such a list.

Today’s news that former Newcastle United and Leeds United midfielder and Wales manager Gary Speed was found dead left what I believe will be a lasting emotional scar on the footballing world, as well as having a profound personal effect. Speed was part of the team under Sir Bobby Robson who threatened to bring the good times of Kevin Keegan’s Entertainers back to St James Park, and his willingness to work for every team he played for endeared him enormously to fans.
He was a professional, the kind of player who cliched adages stuck to with genuine sentiment and who still holds the third highest Premiership appearance record behind Ryan Giggs and David James predominantly in a position that required a serious amount of commitment and energy to become anything close to the highest level. That is some going.
