well its enevitable, set in stone some would say, when a popular book is made into a film and so it is relaunched to put itno the public eye more and more. And it all goes mental, and this movie tie in finds itself in the 2 for £7 deal in asda! Anyway, alongside Marley and Me on the shelves right now is The Damned United only it wont look like this;





It now looks like this;



Yes, they have used the movie poster to sell the book off the back of the film. For me not a patch on the other cover but there you go.

Anyway, its a mere couple of weeks till the film is released, hopefully the best football movie since
