Written by experts and offering readers the opportunity to pass off appropriated knowledge as their own, the Bluffer's Guides provide hard fact masquerading as frivolous observation in one witty, easy listen.

Instantly acquire all the knowledge you need to pass as an expert in the world of football. Never again be found wanting when asked what Albert Camus said about the ‘beautiful’ game, why a surprising number of other famous writers and thinkers opted to play ‘between the sticks’, why a rotation system is not to be confused with a revolving door management policy, and why an impressive collection of trophies is no way to describe the perma-tanned WAGs in the directors’ box. Bask in the admiration of your fellow football lovers as you pronounce confidently on the merits of English ‘pluck’ over German ‘efficiency’, and hold your own against the most tribal of rival supporters.

“I’ve been using my own version of this for years, but now there’s an official Bluffer’s Guide anyone can use to present their own football show on radio.” ANDY JACOBS, co-presenter of Talksport’s Hawksbee and Jacobs Show
