Goalless Draws

''Genius ... Squires'' creativity shines through in this collection – there''s simply no one better at what he does.'' – Best Football Books of 2019, FourFourTwo Half-and-half scarves? VARs? England winning penalty shoot-outs? Modern football can be baffling. But if you''re contemplating throwing it all in for the simpler pleasures of quantum mechanics, don''t despair just yet: help is at hand. In Goalless Draws , David Squires unpicks the modern game with an unmissable selection of his Guardian football cartoons from 2014 to the 2018 World Cup. From the ever-dizzying managerial roundabout to the absurdities of the transfer window, and from the annual tradition of poppygate to the ''stable genius'' of José Mourinho, the result is a riotous reminder of all the pitfalls of the modern game, as well as everything that keeps us coming back for more.
