First off,I LOVE Paul Howard's satirical style of writing anyway throughout his "Ross O'Carroll Kelly" series.
But I have to admit I wasn't feeling too enthused about Triggs,come on,the inner thoughts of a footballers' dog? I did enough pisstaking out of Britain's got Talent last yr for that carry on.
Yet HOW I regret my delay in reading this book,I'm still kicking myself like I'm Alfie Haaland lying on the pitch!!

A good humoured fresh look at Keano through the eyes of his faithful companion Triggs the Lab. Funny throughout, a book for Keanes fans a bit tongue in cheek but a great account of all things United, Ireland and Bob Dylan.
The first few chapters of this book are great I had laugh out loud moments when the dog described her meetings with Ole Gunnar Solskar. I was hoping the book would continue this way but unfortunately as the book continued there were less and less funny moments. I thought the relationship between Triggs and Roy was great but I found the author focused more on the football and less on the comedy. I am a football fan, but I'd rather watch it than read books on it. I was hoping for a funny satire ab

Enjoyed it, probably more than any other footballer biog, its smart, witty, warm and very insightful, on players and the change of PL football culture. Which is more than you can normally say for a football biog. Its also as more likely written by a dog than ones are written by PL players.....
Entertaining and he develops each voice in this story really well, especially Triggs'. As a non-football fan it was too long for me though, it got repetitive after a while. But still good fun, I think particularly if you have ever owned a dog!
I enjoyed this and I know that if I knew more about football I'd have enjoyed it even more. Given my lack of football knowledge, the joke probably got a bit old towards the end but overall I'd recommend giving this a read.
Absolutely hilarious, if you like the Ross o'carroll Kelly books you will live this. Brilliant.

A comical yet surprisingly entertaining read. Triggs has quite a few stories to tell.
