LOL. I got it for Christmas last. My other half ordered it from the Club Shop and had it send to middle-of-nowhere Canada at GREAT cost. Lovely thought tho. Even through the long and snowy winters evenings, I still only managed to get about halfways through. A tad tedious. Still, one day I'll pick it back up.
don't see the problem myself. his agent says 'alan if you add a new chapter or two about last season it should shift a few thousand more copies.', of course he (or his ghost writer) will do it. It will be in the same bland style as the rest of the book so little risk of annoying his current squad, especially as most of those he may have pissed off are no longer at the club.

He was asked this at the press conference for the re-launch. He responded with "I just don't think I got started. You have to get your first chapter in first and in this game that is so important."
'In this fully updated paperback edition, he unveils the clandestine meetings that led to his departure from the Valley to join his boyhood club, West Ham, and ....'
clandestine ? Why ? He'd already left us before he joined WestHam so why would they be clandestine ? Or is he saying that he was in negotiations to join WestHam whilst still in OUR employment ?
How many times does he say 'Ya Know' in the book, his after match comments are littered with them, count them next time he's on, he'll say it at least five or six times in a 1 minute interview.
sadly, one of the few books i couldn't be bothered to finish which, given the subject matter, says a lot...lucky i borrowed a copy rather than bought one...
I've got a signed copy of his original. Bearing in mind that the Hamsters have squillions of fans spread far and wide, maybe my version will be worth a fortune in a few years time......along with my shares in Barings, and Quicksave.....;-(

Big boo to Curbs on that one.
Fcuk of and die you wet spam tosser!!!
Don't dislike him and still have a great deal of respect for what he did for us.
I'm sure we could come up with some alternative titles...
Alan Curbishley: "Football Related Insomnia: The Cure."
He might be at West Ham for 10 years, write a book about them then.
"someone's going to buy this book so why not you"
I'm waiting for his next book
"Cup runs and how to avoid them"
"Great substitutions I never made"

"Those difficult last ten games: How to avoid a late slide if you can't afford a dodgy Argentine"
Surely that would be written by someone who actually knows how to avoid a late slide without a dodgy Argentine?

True : -)
Hardly needs the money does he ? A pathetic gesture that really attempts to belittle his time with us.
