As ever, the DVD shelves are packed full of desperate celebrities & minor footballers flogging tediously dull footballing so called funny DVD's. This year however there are at least some offerings worth buying as 2 of footballs most charismatic characters join the great yearly sale.
The first is the snappily titled 'A day in the life of Paul Scholes' which is hosted by Manchester United wild man Paul Scholes. While others serve up the same old funny clips we've all seen a million times before, this concentrates on the more day to day aspects of footballing life. For instance, one clip shows Scholes deciding which boots to wear before a Carling Cup meaningless game against Burnley before commenting 'they wer me favorite boots them!' with his trademark wit. Another shows Scholes in the canteen at the Carrington Training Centre getting some Lasagne for dinner after which he exclaims 'that's me favorite dinner that!'. All in all this is a great buy for anyone who wants to add a bit if colour (in this case ginger) to the Christmas telly listings.
The other is Avram Grant's DVD, which has the title 'Avram Grant's 10 best Press Conferences ever'. The 240 minute uncut action packed spectacular, shows Grant's best Press Conferences in full from his time in English football. It includes the infamous speech when 3 journalists fell into Coma's when listening to his January transfer plans, and when Steve Curry of the Daily Mail stood up during Grant's summary of the 1-0 Chelsea victory over Arsenal and declared 'this is crazy, don't you see what he's doing, he's killing us with boredom.... I'm getting out!'. This isn't for the faint hearted which is why it contains the warning 'People who get bored easily or have no interest in grey motionless humans should not watch without company', but otherwise if you want to see how footballs Mr Happy wows expecting audiences with his electric personality.....put it on your Christmas list!.
Both DVD's retail at £9.99 or if you steal them they're free!!
