booksconnect   10 #1 Posted November 19, 2009 The book centres around a group of Sheffield Wednesday fans who follow the clubs fortunes through thick and thin (mostly thin) since the early 70's and takes the reader along the roller coaster of emotions that most fans endure as well as recounting many frightening, hilarious and down right bizarre incidents that occurred on their travels. It is the autobiography of almost every football fan in the country combining the passion of a football fan with a wonderfully nostalgic insight of how the game was. The author, John Firth, has spent the last 4 decades following the club and it has taken two years to write. It is easy to support a successful football team, but it takes guts, loyalty and a whole heap of stupidity to follow one of the also rans.

booksconnect   10 #12 Posted November 19, 2009 @alex3659 - A review like this by a fan about a chapter of 'I Hate Football' : ''By the time I got to the end, the hairs were standing up on the back of my neck and not because I was there, which I wasn't, but because it gave me a little bit of that away day buzz, which is unique, you don't get that buzz anywhere else.''
