I liked reading this book because I love football

My favourite footballer was in this book Lucy Bronze I liked that this book had true facts in but always made things funny !!! Also I learnt some facts I hadn't learned yet I also love Football I reccomend this book for people who enjoy watching and playing football or who want to learn more about football

I like this book because it has some facts and some of it was for comedy

I enjoyed reading this book.

It’s a very funny book.

I like it because you have the choice to go to any page and start there. I find it a good technique. There were nice and kind bits, like giving racism the red card, and things I didn't know, like in the 1990 World Cup, Gary Lineker pooed himself. A funny bit was when the author congratulates you for getting to the beginning page without eating the book."Pardon me. It was the 240 pages of a book I ate for breakfast this morning."

It’s a really funny fiction book.It had lots of funny parts and my interest is football at school and how a lot of people play football at school.I would highly recommend people who love football.

I thought it was a really funny book and I love football. I’d recommend it to everyone who likes football.

Brilliant book, just do NOT read it if you want to know only legitimate things about football because it mentions things that aren't real, like inter-dimensional football! Really funny jokes, a real page-turner if you like football.

Very funny

not that good

funny and fun reading!

I loved this book when I love football myself. It was a great read

I like the book because James Campbell plays football in his underpants! He also made the weird League table of picnic ruinations. He also knows what is the most boring thing in the world paradox.

really love this book and highly recommend

This makes me think twice
