'At last, the definitive guide to football phraseology across the
world... Sparky and very funny.' Paul Hayward, Daily Telegraph
''Amusing and informative in equal measure.' Oliver Kay, The Times
An expertly compiled and utterly fascinating compendium of the
weird and wonderful words and phrases used to describe football
around the world. To speak football is to speak a language of a
thousand tongues... In this ground-breaking global glossary of
football words and phrases, you'll discover the rich, quirky and
joyously creative language used by fans, commentators and players
across the world. From placing a shot 'where the owl sleeps' in
Brazil, to what it means to use your 'chocolate leg' in the
Netherlands, via Wembley-Tor - a phrase adopted by Germans to
describe a dubious goal - this comprehensively researched book will
entertain and inform in equal measure. Discover the unfortunate
Finnish term for a holding midfielder, what it means when South
Korean fans get nostalgic about a 'Leeds season' and why Dundee
United supporters should keep their heads down in Nigeria. With
over 700 terms from 89 countries (including 29 ways to describe a
nutmeg), this is the definitive guide to the global language of
football.
The domestic cat is shrouded in mystery. How did it acquire
abilities that defy explanation? This book speculates on God's
reasons for creating the cat and putting it on earth.

In "Trading in the Shadow of the Smart Money" Gavin discusses why
market manipulation is actually a good thing for traders and
investors who can read the chart correctly based on universal laws.
All markets work because they are governed by three universal laws,
which are the law of supply and demand, the law of cause and effect
and the law of effort versus result. To make money in life there is
a fourth and very important law, the law of attraction, and for the
first time in any book on trading that we are aware of Gavin
unlocks the key to success in trading and investing in the markets:
BELIEF in your human ability to make money and in your system to
read charts. The book gives actual trade set ups taught to Gavin by
Tom Williams and gives over 50 annotated color charts explaining
the VSA principles bar by bar.
