I'm clearly the only person in the universe to utter such heresy.....but frankly I hope it's LOT better than SSTL which i thought wildly over-rated

Well I read the book over the last 2 days and I would have to say it is a good read for a Stokie. I did find myself at times wondering whether fans of other clubs would be as interested in the book even after the first chapter or so, but then again I'm sure it was primarily aimed at the Stoke audience anyway so I'm sure Mr Foster isn't worrying about that too much. So ye, a good read, reflects the moments throughout the season that were almost mirror images of how I personally felt - the Chelsea way game springs to my mind, where I turned down the chance to go due to pricing and ended up lsitening on the radio, and Foster's portrayal of how he felt listening to it (although he did technically watch the last 15 mins ;D) were almost 100% matching my own feelings from that day. Recommended read

Oi OldSmoothie. Leave em alone. If they have an opinion about something they haven't even looked at and think everybody else needs to know about it, that's their prerogative.

You liked that one did you, Rocky? Familiar territory in a man's world. Dave, why didn't you put that link up before? It would have saved you some embarrasment. Nottingham, this book is a far better read than SSTL. When you think about it, how could anyone make a good read out of early Pulis? I think he did extraordinarily well to get many readers to the non-ending. Edit. *Hello Eli. winger's fucked my phone up. It went through a wash because he was here saturday rushing me to save 4 quid on car park fees. OS.

Dave...personally, I thought your review was ok, but your 'enemies' didn't. As you know, I'm not one of them and even your gasworks chat with Mark was fun. M.

Don't mention the post-Leicester curry. Dresden was a'rockin' that night and a sea of red and white. Did anyone not have a hangover the following morning? M.

He's a traitor. No other way to describe him. His front seat on the Boskamp Bummer Bus has now been re-allocated to Victor 'Momo' Meldrew. ;D
