The Guardian Football Weekly Book: Ben Fisher’s car parks of

Guardian Faber has signed the first book from football podcast “the Guardian’s Football Weekly” entitled The Football Weekly Book. I wonder if we’ve sometimes been tougher on Newcastle than Manchester City for example, perhaps as a result of not really understanding sportswashing in the early days when City were taken over (or the fact simply that the Newcastle takeover happened on my watch on the pod) – and then sometimes I think it’s really simple and we’re not tough enough. It’s possible to love the club while holding the owners in contempt, as Manchester United fans, among others, regularly demonstrate. The two-tier car park (the lower tier is boxed off for players, officials, hospitality and disabled guests) developed a notorious reputation after Wycombe were ridiculed online for confirming it had sold out against Sunderland last year. There’s a great community around AFL in Melbourne – everyone has a team, every single person, however much they’re into it or not.Newport v Brighton, 10 January 2021: I’d parked in the primary school where the Newport players and staff park. We talk about teams such as: Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal, PSG (Paris Saint-Germain), Liverpool, Tottenham / Spurs, Chelsea, Everton, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Milan, Inter, Juventus, and Napoli.

During the pandemic I developed a hopeless addiction to those Hallmark Christmas movies that all have the same saccharine sweet plot. Edited by Jonathan Wilson, with Barry Glendenning and Max Rushden as consulting editors, the book will also feature contributions from: Barney Ronay, Jonathan Liew, Suzy Wrack, Nicky Bandini, David Squires, Jordan Jarrett-Bryan, Elis James, Nedum Onuoha and John Brewin. There were a couple of options for those heading to the Madejski from Junction 11 of the M4 in 2005.

Hear Jonathan, Max and Barry in conversation with journalist and football commentator Robyn Cowen, talking more about the book and why fans need to add it to their collection in a very special livestream event on Tuesday 26 September, 8pm to 9pm (BST).
