About this listen

'As a player and pundit I've seen and experienced plenty of the good, the bad and the ugly. And let's get face facts - there is still plenty of the bad and ugly. Our game can be so much better and in this book I'll tell you just how.'

In his trademark tell-it-like-it-is style, Chris sets his sights on 25 aspects of the modern game that need fixing. From ridiculous rules and feckless agents to dreaded VAR and abusive fans, no subject is out of bounds.

Discover which managers Sutton slams for giving bland post-match interviews, which clubs are fleecing their fans and why he believes Messi and Ronaldo aren't as good as Best and Maradona.

In You're Better Than That! Sutton also reveals who has bagged a spot in his top 10 lists - from the best-value players and most entertaining teams, to the most underrated players and best FA Cup moments.

A former top-level pro player with a 16-year, trophy-laden career behind him, Chris knows the game from the inside out. Now observing from the commentator's perch, his perspective is shot through with experience, passion and occasionally a little anger.

Sutton is a man on a mission, determined to get under the skin of the game he loves and to call out exactly what's going wrong.

I’ll admit I have no idea why I bought this but I’m glad I did. Chris Sutton wasn’t my favourite as a player but he’s a good honest pundit. This book is very common sense and highlights many important and some funny issues in the game.

Not a fan until now.

Brilliantly entertaining book, highly recommended. Chris Sutton’s view on how the game should be ran is very entertaining, although some of it very much tongue in cheek is informative and well thought out.
The chapter on football and dementia must have been very difficult for him to read, due to his very personal experience of the subject but this added to the sincerity of his view on this subject.
Even if you me not a fan of Chris you should give this book a go.

Brilliant, Funny and Insightful

Fascinating insight and so true. Reflecting how true football fans feel about the game. Shame the VAR chapter can’t be updated to show the shambles it is now . A great listen

There’s no better than this

As a Celtic fan obviously I’m drawn to Sutton but I think every fan (including rangers fans) should listen to this book. So many nails hit right on the head, especially in regards to the utter state of youth participation in football. I’m turning 30 soon, as a kid we played football every opportunity we got, wind, rain, snow. Now even at the height of the school holidays the park where I spent so much time is nearly always empty and not only is that a shame it’s a frighten glimpse into what could become of the game we all love so much.

Truer words never spoken about the game

Enjoyed most of this book. I find Chris Sutton a refreshing addition to the football punditry team.

The only negative was I found him to be a bit negative from time to time. But overall it was well worth the download and would highly recommend the book.

Mostly Enjoyable
