You never know, this one might be really good? I wonder if he recounts his visit to the strip club with Lallana? Good times.
Look, I know its "out for Christmas" or whatever to make some dosh but it couldn't be out as a ****ing worse time. Really people still active shouldn't be doing books imo. he's got to play games and not be going round racially abusing Brazilians and publishing memoirs.
Maybe so Maybe the publishers can just stick a red warning label saying beware fascist hater views inside. The daily mail would be happy then
Let's face it, the only interesting thing in these books (if anything) usually is the gossip or moaning about other people, which can obviously be awkward later on. Apart from the fact that his Story obviously isn't finished yet. And you probably get a different perspective once you've hung up your boots.
I never understand autobiographies of people who probably haven't lived half their lives yet. Tbf, a good writer can make a shopping list entertaining, and these things are all ghost-written anyway - but they all seem a bit pointless to me. A money-spinner obviously, because he needs the dosh, obviously. Such things used to be the province of old gits, wizened and enwisened by a lifetime of experience. Now you get 25 year-olds who have been on the telly for 5 minutes thinking they have something to teach the world.
In the case of footballers, I can understand doing it when your playing career is over, even if you're comparatively young. I guess the people who look up to them most and are therefore perhaps most likely to be interested are younger people and kids wanting to emulate them, in which case maybe book will help inspire them, and they're more likely to read it while the player is still relevant? I dunno, I'm searching for positives. For young celebrities generally, their marketability is based on people knowing them, and I suppose it's a way to build their brand. If people like them, then I guess they want to know them better as well, and it might feel like hanging out with them. Again, I dunno. Being a fan makes you do strange things.
Just had a caller from "HSBC" on a 0345 number saying they had detected potentially fraudulent Direct Debits on the account. Gave me the details and i said, no not me. They said theyd stop the debits and apply some extra security. They then asked me to go through security which I said i didn't want to do on the phone right now. They tried to reassure and asked me to check the number that they were calling from. So I looked up the HSBC numbers for scam alerts, it wasn't there, told the chap on the phone it wasn't there and he hung up. Cnuts.
Had a call some years back. HSBC. Hello, did you do to New York this last weekend? Me. No. HSBC. Oh dear, your debit card went there.
Had a call from automated call from "Barclaycard" telling me to ring their fraud team which i did . them "did you make this purchase " me "no" them"this one" them "this one " me "no" them "this one" me "no ...... hold on yes" went thru a couple more which were correct then did a security check on my added security measure for online purchases ,just to check me out ,and then advised me the card had been cancelled and a new one issued and written confirmation of all recent purchases on the account sent to me to check for any other fraudulent ones . So very occasionally they are genuine unlike the Microsoft ****ers .
That's different because they asked you to ring them (unless they provided a number and you just rang that)
The one that’s going around atm is a message saying ‘hi mum, I’m texting from a friends phone as I lost mine, can you call me on xxxxx’ Got one of those few weeks back, might have believed it, if I had a child… and wasn’t a man.
