We Don't Know What We're Doing by Adrian Chiles

Most things in life that make you miserable you can change. But you can't change your football team. In his brilliant first book, Match of the Day 2 presenter and lifelong West Bromwich Albion fan Adrian Chiles asks why we feel the way we do about our teams and go to such great - almost bizarre - lengths to follow them. Seeking an answer to the oft-chanted question 'Who are you?', Adrian meets the fan who's missed only five games since the Second World War; the woman who has never seen her side concede a goal because she always covers her eyes; and the octogenarian who, relegated or promoted, weaves a rug to celebrate. The story, just like supporting a football team, is by turns hilarious, heartwarming and heartbreaking.
In his hilarious new book Adrian admits he thinks about his team more often than sex* DAILY MIRROR *
endearing... no league winning histrionics, but plenty of nutty fans and tragic defeats. * ZOO *
this is a very funny book peppered with Chiles's trademark '2 Good 2 Bad * wit’ *
