This is a 21st-century guide to unreasonableness, stubbornness and the determination never to be impressed by anything. Crabbit old buggers are not defined by gender, nationality, creed or class - to be a crabbit old bugger is a state of mind, a way of living, a reason to exist that transcends all. "Crabbit Old Buggers", the book, is a guide to these determinedly dour, intolerant creatures. It takes the loveless and misbegotten buggers, pulls them from their dank holes and makes them face the dazzling light of the issues of the day - politics, technology, the arts. It helps the reader recognise the traits that define them, the different levels of crabbitness - from the mildest to the most incorrigible - and explains why a little bit of it in all of us is no bad thing. And it proves once and for all that, for this sector of society, the future is not bright - it is just something that will have to be endured. But endure it they will and they're going to make damn sure that we know they're enduring it. Because sometimes reason enough to go on living is to wish you didn't have to.

Robbo - My Autobiography
Bryan Robson is widely remembered as a fearless and inspirational player and captain, both for club and country, whose presence lifted team-mates and intimidated opponents. At his peak, he was acknowledged as the most complete midfield player in the country, and played at the highest level despite a series of devastating injuries. He began his playing career at West Bromwich Albion, then moved to Manchester United in 1981 for a then record British transfer fee of £1.5 million. He soon became captain, and enjoyed regular Cup success, eventually winning the Championship. He also won 90 caps for England, 65 of them as captain. His autobiography reveals a fascinating insight into his days with the England and United camps and characters such as Paul Gascoigne, Gary Lineker, Roy Keane and Alex Ferguson. He puts the record straight on the 'drink culture' that Ferguson sought to stamp out at United, and describes his pain when he discovered he was surplus to the manager's requirements. He candidly reflects on the highs and lows of his football life, and discusses incidents on the pitch as well as some of the clashes that have happened behind the scenes.
