Football According to Mark Goldbridge

It doesn't really matter who you support. Football is a cruel, cruel game. All of us fans have had moments of shock, disappointment, and feeling like a right knobhead. We want our teams to play like winners who’ll fight for the badge to their last breath. More often, there's so many clowns on the pitch we think the circus is in town. We've endured abject surrenders in the pissing down rain, watched multi-millionaire managers lose the plot, and signed players who couldn't pass a parcel, all to the sound of Michael Owen's 'expert' analysis. Season after bloody season. It stings so much your team might as well be sponsored by Dettol. Why do we do it to ourselves?

There’s a lot to love I guess. Nothing will ever emulate the high that a major win or seeing your team lift a trophy brings. Take Manchester United winning the treble: footballing perfection. And nothing else will ever come close. Life doesn’t get any better than that.

As I talk you through everything from transfers to trophies to touchline tantrums, join me as I give my definitive take on football. There's a lot to get through, so take my hand like an over-eager mascot and walk with me out of the tunnel into the glaring floodlights of what it means to be a fan…

…and how to survive it.

Goldbridge at his finest

Very entertaining from beginning to end. As Goldbridge explains his football origins, how he fell in love with the sport and Manchester United. Also, classically, getting little digs in at rival clubs along the way.

Footy fans will enjoy this breezy read

I love watching Mark and his book didn’t disappoint
L. A light read though everything that is right and wrong with football with some great nostalgia thrown in. Audio version is great as hear his passion

Honesty and Novelty

Excellent job Mark Goldbridge! Truly encapsulating and insightful! Here’s to wishing you greater success further and beyond…

Goldbridge Gold.

if you're a fan of Mark's content, you won't be disappointed. Simple as. Hoping for more in the future.

Gold by Goldbridge

Get in - a laugh out loud ride of Football: the beautiful game through the eyes of Mark Goldbridge. The United Stand YouTube channel was my first introduction to Mark Goldbridge’s comedy gold sense of humour. This humour is translated into this brilliant book, written and read by Mark. For all football fans this is a must read. And for all Manchester United fans who know this sleeping giant of a club is about to we woken.

Very good

Well worth a listen. Humorous and interesting for all football/soccer fans. Just don’t let young children listen to it as Goldbridge uses some adult language.

Oh, united and will stand

I like how he blended multiple topics and connected them in weird unique ways at times the piecing made it hard to focus and keep track of exactly what we were trying to talk about in some chapters but overall I think it’s a very good book and has some overall good messages in it not just for football fans, but any reader

What a waste of a credit

As I like the watch along and some of his daily shows I thought his book would be funny and entertaining. It was not, it is dull and drab and his humor must make himself laugh cause it sure didn’t make me laugh. Again really disappointed, he should stick to running a fan channel. I can see how his self aggrandizement killed his best show on that’s football and why Ben Foster doesn’t come on any more. Guess I will stick to RD sports, Webby and ONiel and the Manchester United Agenda.
