Synopsis

Football Weekly -- everyone's favourite football podcast -- has decided the time (and the money) is right to finally commit their wisdom to paper. You know what this means: trivia, filler, too much about The Mighty Cambridge United, not enough about [insert your club], and very occasionally an insightful remark.

Expect all the trademark humour of their hugely successful live shows, plus:

Max Rushden and Barry Glendenning’s ‘Blind Date’
Mark Langdon’s ‘World of Meat’
Jonathan Liew’s ‘You Are the PGMOL-Appointed Match Official’
Ben Fisher’s ‘Car Parks of British Football’
A thrilling new board game, ‘Snakes & Blatters’
Philippe Auclair’s shocking FIFA exposé
An exclusive David Squires cartoon
And much, much more!

Edited by Jonathan Wilson, the book will feature the full pod line-up of:
Barry Glendenning -- Max Rushden -- David Squires -- Barney Ronay -- Jonathan Liew -- John Brewin -- Scott Murray -- Elis James -- Paul Watson – Philippe Auclair – Troy Townsend – Ben Fisher -- Jordan Jarrett-Bryan -- Sid Lowe -- Nicky Bandini -- Lars Sivertsen -- Robyn Cowen.

About this title

About the Author

Jonathan Wilson is a British sports journalist and contributor to Football Weekly. He writes for Guardian, Sports Illustrated, World Soccer and Unibet. He is the founder and editor of the Blizzard. His book Inverting the Pyramid was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award and won ‘Best Football Book’ at the British Sports Book Awards. He is the author of eleven other books

Barry Glendenning is the beating heart of the Guardian's Football Weekly podcast due in no small part to his penchant for daily 5am rises and regular ice baths. He harbours an unhealthy bias against your football team

Max Rushden is the host of the Guardian Football Weekly. The bosses very smartly wanted him to have no part of this book. But he demanded the opportunity to see his three anecdotes in print. He currently plays CDM for the University of Melbourne Bohemians in a role he calls the non-moving pivot
