This will only appeal to people that are REALLY into soccer/football. It's mostly a bunch of facts about the Arsenal team in the 90's with VERY little story between the two "main characters." Really, the adult lead is only there to narrate and the child barely says anything.

An Arsenal advert disguised as a comic book. If you want to know Arsenal's history since the 90's, this book is for you. Otherwise, don't bother.

This is a great story if you like football, particularly if you are an Arsenal fan. The artwork is good and the story is ok.

This book is not so much a story as it is explaining the history and other aspects of a sport. It is filled with too much dry info and not enough relationship development.

Oh, Arseholes, how do we hate you? Let us count the ways, from your Nuremberg Rally-styled flag waving at every goal, to your habit of employing unattractive French plodders as manager. Beating one of my teams 5-3 when three of yours were clearly offside was never going to help. Heck, I bet you even think there's still a top six in the Premiership. This book, or book-length advert in my mind, is supposed to be about a younger David Tennant taking his new black girlfriend's son to his first footie match. Before it starts the kid gets harangued and harangued about the glory days of Wanker's early years, from when they opened a training ground (and here are the stats to prove it!), to how Wanker used analysis of the game's stats to help improve players (and here is the implausible dialogue to prove it!), to how everyone slagged Wanker off for not spending any of the Highbury-sell-off money on decent transfers (and here is nothing to prove that extended period ever existed).

Yup, everything's fine and dandy in this authorised product, ie advert, which is just plain risible through and through. The fact they thought this would be of interest even to their most hardcore fans, or to the kind of kids they want to attract to the stadium (which allegedly is a permanent sell-out anyway, so why plug it?) shows what a club they are. Oh, and the crowd scenes set in the Dubai State Airline stadium, or whatever it's called? Far, far too white. Just sayin'.

And yes, the above proves I dislike the club, but don't get me wrong – this book, reviewed in an unbiased way as a book, is b-a-d.

This book is full of great illustrations. The story is of an avid Arsenal supporter, Andrew, trying to make a connection with his girlfriend's son, Nathan, by taking him to a game. Some of the book relates back to his own introduction to Arsenal F.C. alongside his close relationship with his father. The idea that sport brings people together runs all the way through the story. The historical references to the team and their stadium gave an interesting insight. Thank you to Philippe Glogowski, Net Galley and the publisher, Europe Comics for an ARC.

Sorry but this one wasn't for me, I really struggled to get into the story. It was mostly the adult character reminiscing about the past, which wasn't really written in a way that I found engaging. His passion and excitement unfortunately wasn't contagious. I could honestly only recommend this to die hard soccer fans.
