Publisher's Synopsis
Every football fan's dream - a pocket guide to the game to cheer you up while your team is losing again!
Why do so many people devote their leisure time to playing or watching football when the net result is usually so agonising? Giles Greaves takes a slice at the whole game and puts the boot in - where it hurts. Packed into this little illustrated book are 250 humorous, bawdy, sharp observations about everyone's favourite game - and many one-liners you won't be able to resist repeating on the terraces.
Some teams are best watched on teletext.
Managers leave the way they arrive: fired with enthusiasm.
Most strikers are like jigsaws: once in the box they go to pieces.
Some teams are up and down more often than the bog seat in an Indian restaurant.
Footballers are like babies: fine when they're dribbling but likely to s**t themselves when they've got an audience.
Dodgy keepers: forget the idea of throwing yourself under a bus. It will most likely go under you.
