Critics Review
Wickedly funny. The world of Premier League football has been crying out for merciless satire, and finally it arrives. I doubt Garth Crooks will ever work again. - Guardian columnist and BBC Five Live pundit Martin Kelner.
Like bankers and senior BP executives, footballers are unaccountable until something goes wrong. They represent the worst of what’s happened since the 1980s. - Independent
Brilliant. - Sun
Hilarious. - Sport
Taylor is clearly a very accomplished and witty prose stylist. - Daily Mirror

Brilliantly appalling and absurdly fun. - Four Four Two
