Thanks for the tip in return. Looks like my kind of thing, I’ll be investigating further…

Lovely! Thanks for the recommendation, I’m definitely going to give it a read.

Everybody loves American journalists at first, then they find out we actually have zero reverence for all the things we’re supposed to have reverence for, and then they turn on us.

Have you read The Miracle of Castel de Sangro? It’s hilarious, and really shines an amusing light on small-town Italian football. Mamma mia! It’s so good!

p.s. ck – I keep forgetting to mention a book to you. I thought it’d be of particular interest as it is about CCFC, and is written by an American academic. It’s called Staying Up and by Rick Gekoski. He wrote this behind-the-scenes account of Coventry’s last good season in the Premiership (1997/98). I found it a really funny and thoughtful book. It gets very interesting indeed when the players and staff start to turn on him – especially wee Gordon.
