Nicked from one the reviews, which are brilliant-

"Get it while you can 8 July 2014
By Meff Stelling
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.

I hear it's a good read though and the ending is great.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Liverpool Football Club experience encapsulated in literary form. 8 July 2014
By Harry K
"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.

is it true Brendan has signed another striker? he was overheard in boots saying he's spent a fortune on zovirax?

A genuinely sensational, near-perfect pillowcase, 9 Oct 2013

I have suffered from chronic insomnia since 1997, when I had a particularly terrifying nightmare that the planet had been taken over by goats wearing human clothes. Since then I have exhausted all the medicines, treatments and techniques on the market, and found that the only products that could truly beckon me into an instant slumber were the films of Nicolas Cage.

Despite the gripping plotlines and magisterial performances, watching a Nicolas Cage movie every night for the last 16 years has become somewhat tiresome. Now, thanks to this pillowcase, I can take some days off, safe in the knowledge that I can still get my bedtime Nicolas Cage fix. It brings me great comfort and security to know that Nicolas Cage is lying there beneath me as I drift softly into the land of nod, and sometimes I can even hear him whispering timeless lines like "okay buddy, let's go" and "that's a federal document, sir" in that beguiling, opulently-monotone drawl of his.

The only reason I have not awarded this product the full 5 stars is because it has caused some problems during romantic endeavours, during which my wife finds the pillow extremely upsetting to look at. I don't think she has any particular aversion to Nicolas Cage himself (indeed, she has been watching his films every night for 16 years without complaint) but claims the problem lies with his overly-jovial facial expression and the fact that she cannot be sure what he is doing with his right hand. On such occasions she makes me turn the pillow over, so I wondered if the pillowcase might not be improved by the addition of another image of Nicolas Cage on the flipside (one more appropriate for love-making - a brooding, sexy Cage; bare-chested perhaps).

Overall however, this pillowcase is radiant, unique and 50% polyester; much like the man himself.
