"Dom knows Manchester City inside out. Fans are going to love this," Martin Blackburn, The Sun.


"A comprehensive and entertaining reminder of the rollercoaster ride that Manchester City fans have been on over the years," Paul Hirst, The Times


"Dom writes as both supporter and journalist, covering the glory days of modern City and the not-so-glory days of York away in '98, with accounts from fans and those directly involved, plus a hint of the classic self-deprecation the club is known for," Mike Minay, radio and TV commentator.
