Extra Time Edition

di Davey J Ashfield (Autore)

APS Books, 2025

Extra Time Edition casts a new perspective over what's happened to your football teams in the four years since Relentless Misery was published. As the final whistle blows on the 2024/25 season, the joy ,elation and tears of loyal football supporters across Britain is humorously (and relentlessly) documented by Davey in a very funny coda to his original hilarious book following a bunch of supporters through fifty years of Misery... The good news is that you don't need to have read Relentless Misery to love this. Nor do you need to be from the North East of England like the author or to understand regional dialects, to share the common strands of hope, dreams and relentless misery that are the inevitable fate of almost all football fans. What Davey J Ashfield does - in the great British tradition of the grumbling old git - is to create the ideal opportunities for us football supporters to laugh at our stupid antagonisms, and our insane rivalries while finding common ground in that in the long run most of our clubs lose more key fixtures, trophy and promotion opportunities and local derbys than we win. Or perhaps it's that they lodge deeper in our minds than the fleeting successes. 'Extra Time Edition' is a comic tour-de-force and if you can't laugh at these tales and thoughts then there's no hope for you. In particular a must-read for fans of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Bradford, Brentford, Bristol City, Burnley, Cardiff, Carlisle, Charlton, Chelsea, Coventry, Crystal Palace, Doncaster, Everton, Exeter City, Gillingham, Ipswich, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Middlesborough, Milwall, Newcastle, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Rangers, Sheffield United, Southampton, Sunderland, Torquay, West Brom. West Ham and Wrexham.
