I know possession stats are a scoundrel's refuge but Burnley winning 2-0 with less than 20% of the ball is... something

Liverpool has something like 26 shots, 5 on target. Coutinho alone blazed 7 over the bar or wide

Neville still a moron

Arsenal were incredibly fortunate with the late penalty appeal. Musa looked great when he came on.

I doubt it's real. Wenger's 600 staff comment was utterly laughable though

It’s like a pound-shop Westeros, only made up entirely of places you imagine voted for Brexit despite being largely dependent on EU funding.

I've tried and failed to track down a copy of Striker for years but this goes into an admirable amount of detail.

Matt DC, Tuesday, 23 August 2016 12:21 (seven years ago) link

He reviewed the other one as well at some stage.

There's a link to the other one from that article.

IDS still makes Bruce look like a slightly better writer.

Those books weren't actually by Steve Bruce, sadly. From the comments section here: http://thinkofengland.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/book-review-sweeper-by-steve-bruce.html

All 3 books (Striker, Sweeper and Defender)were published by Paragon Publishing in Huddersfield. They were written by the owner of the company a guy called Reggie Sharpe. A former headmaster, who was trying to make money as a publisher. He was an obnoxious man, who bordered arrogant to most people who met him. He wrote each book in about 3 days, and then had them printed. Steve Bruce had nothing to do with any of them, I doubt he even read them cause they really were drivel. I think he got paid £2000 for having his name and image on each book, and attending a book signing at Waterstones in Huddersfield. I know this because I played a part in converting the text files from M.S. Word format, which Reggie Sharpe wrote them in, to Apple Mac formats for printing, which at the time was the only way most print houses worked. On the second book cover, Reggie appears in the picture as the janitor with a sweeping brush. The whole affair was a money making scheme, designed to sell Paragons books. Bruce was nothing but a paid figured head who’s fame was used to create awareness. But I think that the sales were poor, with only a few hardened fans parting with their money. The rest of the copies were pulped I believe. Sorry to shatter peoples images of Steve the author, but he wasn’t. You were all conned.

Venables keeps his place at the top of the literary manager's league then.

The air caused goosebumps on his skin, his thighs had become flabby and weak since the days when he roamed the midfield for Fellowcheshire United. But it didn't matter. Shorts again. On the pitch. In real boots. "You look ridiculous," she said, with a smirk, patting his knee. Alexa Featherington. The gaffer. Harder than any man who ever played. But did she have a soft spot for Mick? Sometimes, he liked to think so. Sometimes too, the lines in their professional relationship blurred, became more fluid, like a fancy formation deployed by a foreign coach, but never feeling quite so wrong.

You've got to admire his commitment, he was still claiming in 2013 he had written them.
