Icon Post a change of plan.

As I'm sure many of you are aware the football season started this weekend. There is much to look forward to, mainly lots of football and I've decided to go with a new theme for the next four weeks to celebrate the return of 'The Beautiful Game'.

What I'm after are legendary football managers. I have one definite that I want to do but other than that I am open to suggestions (as usual). You can start sending them in, either on twitter, on the facebook page, by text (if you have my number) or on my general facebook page (if we're friends).

Try and remember that this runs for four weeks so sending me loads at once won't always mean I'll remember what you submitted two weeks down the line so it's best to hold back some of your suggestions. Although I do my best to track back through @ replies on twitter, I'm considering a # tag this week for everyone to use to see if that helps.

Post will be on Thursday, as per, just thought I'd give an early warning of a change of theme. I may go back to the Aussie theme, I may not.

As a little throw back to yesterdays post it is worth having a look here at all the IsleofWightFilms people have come up with so far on twitter, as there are now loads. Some of them rubbish, but many many of them inspired.

My new favourite, yes, superseding even my own gallant effort, is 'Oh What a Lovely Quarr'. Brilliant. Cheers Sean.

#IsleofWightFilms

A couple of days ago on twitter I started a thread for film titles that could be twisted to include the names of places on the Isle of Wight. I had a few ideas myself but there have been some great ones from other people too.

Would be cool to get some more from the good folks of twitter and facebook so if you have any other ideas let me know. If you're going to use twitter don't forget to # tag it and I'll keep an eye out.

Here's a list of what I've seen so far.


The Shaw'shanklin' Redemption - Me
Dr Jekyll and Mr 'Ryde' - Jo Cooper
The Dark 'Niton' - Me
Ace 'Ventnor' Pet Detective - Jo Cooper
'GodsHill's Have Eyes - Me
Men In 'Blackgang' - Calumvs
Robin Hill Prince of Thieves - Fanny_IngAbout & OctaneFlyer
The 'Osbourne' Ultimatum - Me
The 'Brading' Bunch - LJ
'Shide'ways - Me (My personal fave of mine thus far.)
A Room with a Seaview' - Me
'Niton' the Living Dead - LJ
Newport', 'Newport' - Jambo
'Atherfield' of Dreams - Jambo
'St Lawrence' of Arabia - Fernandomando
1984 by George 'Shorwell' - Fernandomando
Finding 'Yaverland' - Fernandomando
Uncle 'Puckpool' - Fernandomando
The Devil 'Ryde's Out - Fernandomando
The 'Gunville's of Navarone - Fernandomando
'Hunnyhill' I Shrunk the Kids - Fernandomando
'Pan's Labyrinth - LJ (Maybe 'Pan Estate Labyrinth'?)

So hopefully you get the idea. Now the challenge is to get one with Cowes in the title...
