Football? Bloody hell!", as Bill Shankly once said.
By the final chapter of this book I was kneeling on the floor of my living room, floods of tears pattering onto my replica kit, wailing like a hysterical gibbon. My dogs, Rushie and Aldo, wailed in solidarity with me. They understood; my wife didn't. I felled her with a right hook.
Imagine if all you ever wanted was a carrot cake, and then, after 25 years without one, you see your most loyal friend walking towards your house smiling, carrying a carrot cake with your name on it. As he reaches your drive, he tumbles calamitously into a ditch. You rush out to find him writhing in agony amongst a cakey-muddy mess, a hungry raven pecking at his flesh. That is how we Liverpool fans feel about the 13/14 season (the raven is Tony Pulis, by the way).
This book is not just some cynical cash-in to make money out of Irish people. Paul Tomkins has truly encapsulated the modern-day Liverpool Football Club experience in literary form: the misty-eyed sentimentality, the endless self-mythologizing and, above all, the abject, humiliating failure. YNWA.

The reviews are quality.
I tried to buy this in Waterstones but it was raining outside and I slipped. Whilst I was recovering Demba Ba nipped in and got the last copy.

cinnamon blue said:great song last night to the bin dippers ; ' you nearly won the league, you nearly won the league and now your going to believe it u nearly won the league. Was on the train back to Warrington and scousers in my carriage were going mental about us singing that song
It was amusing reading RAWK earlier and seeing some of them claiming that we only sang the Gerrard song. Fact is, we hit them with the full repertoire last night - songs that already existed plus some new ones taking the piss out of them for thinking they had the league won and then blowing it on the home straight. I'm not sure how any of them can complain about the merciless ribbing to be honest.
spent a lot of time laughing at the range of songs sung about the pool and especially gerrard ! Well done singers...M18CTID said:cinnamon blue said:great song last night to the bin dippers ; ' you nearly won the league, you nearly won the league and now your going to believe it u nearly won the league.

shallow... What a knob for saying that.taconinja said:Dipper on the caf talking about how he would love to see a revolution in the UAE in order to derail us. Seriously, he hopes people die so the football club he supports has better odds at a trophy.

When are they going to get the message, that we aren't going away? September 2008 was very nearly six years ago and the time before it is never coming back, no matter how much they hope and pray it is.taconinja said:Dipper on the caf talking about how he would love to see a revolution in the UAE in order to derail us.

The sooner they realise this the sooner they'll stop agonising over the world turning on its head.
