Default The Young Guvnors book

Flicked through the first few pages yesterday in town, and it makes Men In Black appear Pulitzer Prize worthy. Honestly, it's like reading an angry 11 year olds diary. Upon further data mining via google, this extract surprised me somewhat.

yep, you've always just recently done something haven't you.

Something really convenient.

If I said you wouldn't last five minutes in space you'd be claiming to have spent a month on mir. Get out of it.

Tried to PM you, but seriously give me a call mate.
All I've done for the past 5 months is sit in my room doing higher Mathematics, I feel like I've lost the will to live. Had to pass certain assessment tests last week to get onto the course I'm starting in September.....

I'd lose the will to live if I had to call someone and listen to them tell me how hard their life is because of some sums.

imagine reading a full book about football supporters thinking they're some band of barbarians

They probably think they're hard when they're reading it. Pictureing themselves there, standing on a road shouting at a crowd, the adrenalin of throwing a bottle at something then running down a street.

no way that has been published - pretty much unreadable. one full stop in the whole thing, what a disgrace.

he should be running whoever was supposed to be his editor, not west fackin' 'am.

Nothing £#%&!s you up like being at a game, getting home to watch the highlights and the camera is on the opposite side to where you expected it to be, (Normally euros ) it can really ruin your highlights tbh, and you start doubting yourself as to whether you were even really at the match :shakehead:

Hooligan books have the potential to give an insight into fan culture etc and would be interesting if they weren't written in the same, cliched manner. I can only read four or five pages of prose full of "plotted up", "boozer" "on top" "we ran them" etc, before I give up. It's just £#%&!ing awful. Do these people actually talk like that in real life :shakehead:

MNiK's account of washing his dishes in RI a few years back summed it up perfectly tbh.

Colin Ward and Nick Hornby* have written the best two books on football fans.

*Not a popular opinion to have nowadays given the lesser imitations it spawned, but 'Fever Pitch' was a great book.
