Product Description

Product Description

"The thing about obituaries is that it's better to publish them after the subject has died..."

The 2011/12 English Premier League football season provided one of the most thrilling climaxes to a title race in the history of the game. For Manchester City, Sergio Aguero's injury-time winner capped off a roller-coaster season for the club, that cuminated in their first top-level title in 44 years. Through the articles written by the author throughout the year, as the club moved from one controversy to another, you can relive the most amazing of seasons, from drug bans, to player strikes, from Derby day drubbings to the key moment in premiership history - there was rarely a dull moment..

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading! 4 Jun 2012

Really good look back at a momentous season at City, charting the peaks and (small) troughs in this most glorious of seasons.
Too often with fans, football reviews are biased one-eyed reports whereby everything the team does, on and off the pitch, is right and every one else is wrong. This book, however, is a refreshing move away from that. The author is obviously a mad blue, but is open and honest, seeing fault where it exists and giving praise in its turn. From the Tevez refusal to warm-up/play in Munich, through the Balotelli-is-the-devil phase of the season, Howard gives reasoned argument and opinion on all the major incidents in a year that changed City forever.
If, like me, you are a fellow light blue (actually if you are a fan of football), then this is a must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing take on events and wider issues 31 July 2012
By GlossopLion
Format:Kindle Edition
This is an excellent read, not just for Manchester City supporters. Hockin manages a rare trait of being balanced in his views but mainly honest.

We all know the ending of the story but the twists and turns of the season are played out in Hockin's lively observations you feel like you were alongside him. The book details not only the facts but as an underlying theme the changes in mindset that he has to endure as a Man City fan in 2012. Although without the injury time this may not have needed to be agonised over, a point not lost by the author.

Hockin wanders from the Man City path with success outlining, again, his honest observations on the football world from Harry Redknapp to the press pack. If you are firmly in the Alex Ferguson and national press fan club this may not be for you but you will be missing out on a cracking good read and an opportunity to look yourself in the mirror.
