plenty of derbies... - By: godzilla78, 17 Sep 2008
The author (along with other contributers) covers derbies from all around the world both big & small. Whilst this is an interesting mix from all continents, each derby is covered by 11-15 pages which is also a weakness. Just as you get reeled in, the chapter is over but is entertaining none the less. The derbies are also viewed from the side the author happens to be with at time of writing thus it may come across as one sided. Some chapters are the work of other writers such as the West Ham/Millwall segment which really should have been removed from the book. I have nothing against either team just the poor lad's mag journalism usedin the chapter. No information is given as to why the teams hate one another & all we are given is a scenario of fans sittingin a pub slagging each otherin cockney slang.
