I'll Tell You What...: My Take on the Modern Game of Football

I used to think the worst football autobiographies were the 'my career, match by match by match' boreathons. At least this offering isn't one of those. I suspect this is what you'd get if you took an ex footballer who doesn't have much more than a few shallow thoughts on the state of the game, give him a second rate ghost-writer and get them to come up with a book. "Well, that's me done then." 'We haven't even got half a book yet, Robbie!' "Did I tell you about United giving me the bum's rush, the bastards?" 'At least twice'. How about my favourite team mates, then my favourite Welsh team mates, then favourite managers?" 'Well its better than nothing.....just....right, lets get something down....' Really massive Robbie Savage fans will love it but that leaves a lot of us who won't.

Being an admirer of Robbie Savage and his passion and intensity for the game I was very disappointed with this. I expected an account of his playing days and the ups and downs of the Premiere League but instead it was about things like -are players overpaid,is diving cheating, billionaires owning clubs etc. Because of this I gave up about 20% in and left it.

I enjoyed this book very much, plenty of humour and also some insights that you don't always hear about.This is what you get when you have essentially a good character who checks his ego at the door before putting pen to paper.I recommend this book, he has had an interesting career and come across 'interesting' characters.

Mr Marmite gives his views on football and television. He is full of bravado and gives the ammunition to shoot him down from the perch he puts himself on. Reading the book he makes a lot of sense and listen it whisper quietly, people should listen to what he say. He makes no bones about his views given out on 606. His views on technology is a bit short sighted but hey!. Also gives his side to the Roy Keane Whassup story. Good views and good book. Well worth a read

A very good read as Robbie Savage always gives his opinion and refuses to sit on the fence. This book is very good.
