Re: AUTUMNAL OPTIMISM: REDS ON THE UP by Paul Tomkins
He's wrote another book? Based on this sort of shite? Fuck me, who buys this drivel?

It's nothing personal against him as I don't know him, but his style of writing is awful. I've read through all that and he hasn't told me anything I didn't already know bar a fact about us conceding less when Hamann plays. Well thank fuck for that, I'll sleep well knowing that now! I don't really care for stats, and everyone knows 64.65% of them are meaningless anyway.

This guy has sold thousands of books. Makes me wonder why a certain fanzine editor doesn't have a go, if someone as boring as him can write 2 books then I think it's safe to say a knowledgeable red with a humourous and interesting writing style could do the same. Although I suspect Tomkins books are bought by your average mainstream red, not your fanzine type.

Anyone on here ever read his book(s)? Is it the same type of stuff?
