It's All Mick McCarthy's Fault

I’m delighted to share that my new book, It’s All Mick McCarthy’s Fault, is now available on Amazon.

What began with my cousin Mick McCarthy signing for Manchester City when I was eight years old became a lifelong journey following the club through every imaginable high and low.

The book is about much more than football. It’s about identity, confidence, family, resilience, and how sport can completely shape a person’s life.
Over the years, that journey led me from being a young City supporter isolated in the south, to writing for the official Manchester City programme, travelling the world following the club, meeting players I once idolised, and sharing those experiences with my son,

I’m incredibly proud to finally share this story -

Available in hardback, paperback, and Kindle on the link below and would really appreciate if you shared this.

The guy in the middle looks like Walter White from Breaking Bad. No wonder there was a blue tinge to his crystal meth !!!

Fuck me, had no idea Mark was on the forum too.
Now I feel ashamed for calling Rodri a crane when I first saw him.

That whopper TwoSips dropped this board as soon as he realised it wasn't as popular as another board.

I saw he was moaning the other day because he has to work and it's not fair.

That's a fair point :( I do hope some of the things I post are of interest to fellow Blues, but I can see your point
