An entertaining, hilarious dissection of the language of football, complete with diagrams and illustrations. Open your chequebook for a last-ditch transfer swoop. - Sport Magazine Hurrey's observations are worryingly accurate and will make you laugh out loud. If you want to know when we're officially in the 'business end of the season' or whether a goal was by a shot being fired, drilled, rifled, thundered, hammered, powered, slammed, rammed, or blasted into the back of the net then Adam is the man to tell us. - outsideoftheboot.com Football Cliches is a crusade to analyse and dissect the art of the football cliche. The saturation of football coverage has ensured the emergence of a code, to which everyone in football unwittingly adheres. Literally over the moon to be up there with your Jonathan Wilsons and David Conns of the world on the FSF awards shortlist. - Football Supporters' Federation
