Product Description

Review

If there is a more delightfully esoteric football book published in the next 12 months, I for one would like to see it (Richard Whitehead The Times )

Product Description

Nick Davidson and Shaun Hunt are going through a midlife crisis as far as football is concerned. Now they’ve reached early middle-age they are wondering what has happened to the beautiful game. Where have all the muddy pitches gone?. They wallow in nostalgia for 3pm Saturday kick-offs and cup upsets and they rant against inflated egos, spiralling salaries and satellite TV. And they wonder about men in tights and gloves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I was young again, 7 Nov 2008

Andrew Donaldson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Modern Football Is Rubbish: An A-Z of All That Is Wrong with the Beautiful Game (Paperback)

A fantastic book. Cleverly written and intelligent. This book has been written by real football fans who have experienced the same joy and incredible pain that many of us have watching and playing the beautiful game. How I long to be twenty years younger and experiencing the same things again. You can almost smell the wintergreen and muddy boots and the piss soaked terraces on the pages of this book. Have bought loads of copies for friends, who have phoned me straight away to reminisce about the topics explored. Just plain football gold.

This review is from: Modern Football Is Rubbish: An A-Z of All That Is Wrong with the Beautiful Game (Paperback)

This book was bought as a chistmas present for my dad. He is a massive football fanatic who continuously says football is not like the good old days. This book emcompasses this idea building on all aspects of the game and comparing them to previous years with light humour. It was a quick but very entertaining read which i recommend to any older football fans who remember the beautiful game when it wasn't so beautiful!

5.0 out of 5 stars It is rubbish...modern football that is, 1 Sep 2008

Stefan T. Dimic - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Modern Football Is Rubbish: An A-Z of All That Is Wrong with the Beautiful Game (Paperback)

Well done boys, you've said just about everything that most fans have felt for over a decade now.....modern football sucks, to coin a horrible American phrase. The game just takes, takes, takes, from its fans and the players hardlty ever feel much for any club only the size of the pay cheques....or bank transfers I suppose they are now.
I say stuff the WAGS, the highlighted hair ,the perma tan, all the flash and lets get back to reality...us fans have had enough y'know. Look at the crowds for matches already this season, they are down...its not the credit crunch ..its disillusionment.
Modern football is rubbish sets an angry and humorous look at this new world and how bad it is, those of you out there in need of a few good belly laughs and a reality check in words...go get it NOW ! you will not be disappointed.

"Angry of Norrfolk"...."Come on you Yellows"

To be honest, I haven't finished it yet. Why? Because I don't want it to end! I am learning an awful lot about how it was to be a football fan growing up in the 70s or 80s. Read more
