Product Description

Review
'a rather successful and often very funny spoof... the joke keeps working.' (Andrew Baker DAILY TELEGRAPH )

Product Description
'My name is Roswell P. Shambling. I'm a 12-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. I saw Malcolm Glazer bought EPL soccer side Manchester and they are now my favourite franchise. Manchester rules, man!' Roswell is an American youngster who likes Malcolm Glazer and has decided to support Manchester United (or Manchester as he calls them). From his home in Tampa, he follows all the latest developments of his new team, commenting on what he believes Sir Ferguson should do, worrying about Ferdinand Rio getting into a bar brawl in the northern English town of Sweden (and why would he be there when Manchester is in the south?), sadly watching his beloved Roy Keano leave and questioning why he never played for England, delighting in watching Manchester take on the Russian side London Chelseas and seeing the Roonaldo brothers succeed... Roswell attempts to spread the word about Manchester and their successes and failures against teams such as Tott Nam, made up predominantly of young Vietnamese players, through his website, but unfortunately his thoughts are now always well received, with hilarious consequences...

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius.., 8 Jun 2006
By I. Griffiths (Derby, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is the funniest football book you'll ever read. The puns are sublime, the writing is fantastic and the whole thing is beautifully observed. Buy it now, it's great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Very Funny, 8 Feb 2007
By D. Montgomery "BlueMoonOverBelfast" (N Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
OK I'm a blue, (or a follower of Manchester's Minor League roster- as Sherling puts it) but this really is the funniest football book I have read in many years. I have bought it for red friends who have been big enough to enjoy it and have acknowledged the cleverness and irony of the writing. It treats the Americanisation of the sport and the arrogance of clubs like MUFC with the contempt deserved. Very good value for money. Being the story of one part of a season, it may date quickly, - but not just yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very very funny!, 13 Nov 2006
By Robert Holloway - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Adrian Sherling has done well with this. Not only does he manage to aim his sharp satire at virtually every corner of "elite" football, he also hilariously highlights the stupidity of those football fans at the back of the queue for I.Q. Highly recommended.
