À propos de l?auteur
Adam Hurrey is a football writer and editor at The Athletic, and the creator and host of the Football Clichés podcast. He also had trials for Swindon Town as a youngster, but was genuinely rejected for being 'too small'.
À propos de la quatrième de couverture
Longlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award
A New Statesman Book of the Year
A Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year
Does language evolve? Yes, it does. Will it ever be acceptable for a football commentator to call a shot that bounces before it goes in 'a screamer'? No, it will not.
As the self-appointed world expert on the subject, Adam Hurrey sets off to define the definitive rules of the language of football. Along the way, Hurrey examines case studies of how the football media has reached saturation point and how its language has evolved to keep the machine going.
Have we let the football lexicon spiral out of control? In finding out, this book will be exactly as gloriously pedantic as it sounds.

FourFourTwo"Adam Hurrey is the best observer of football culture in the world. He has a knack for either encapsulating something that's always nagged at you or nailing something you can't believe you haven't noticed before." Elis James"The funniest, smartest book on the language of football. It sends out a message, silences the doubters and lets its football do the talking . a Rolls-Royce of a book."

No, it will not.As the self-appointed world expert on the subject, Adam Hurrey sets off to define the definitive rules of the language of football.He will answer the big questions such as: is it acceptable to say a player is 'breaking their silence' (it's complicated), can headers can be 'lashed' (anatomically impossible), whether a penalty shootout could ever be described as 'late drama' (truly abhorrent), how many games constitute a 'bumper' day of Premier League action (minimum of eight) and just how big a deficit constitutes 'a mountain to climb' (certainly not Liverpool going 1-0 down at home to Wolves in the third minute, Sky Sports).Along the way, Hurrey examines some case studies of how the football media has reached saturation point - the transfer rumour mill, the futile art of big-match previewing, the rise of (and backlash against) football jargon - and how its language has evolved to keep the machine going.Have we let the football lexicon spiral out of control?

paperback. Etat : New. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
