Not really one of Pratchett's best, although even a mediocre Pratchett is still well worth reading. The topic is, of course, football, as seen through the lens of the Unseen University (as much its domestic staff as the wizards themselves), with additional swipes at high fashion and academia along the way. Ridcully and Ponder Stibbons feature, along with a number of other recurring characters, but the focus is really on a group of new characters, making this something of a one-off.
Full of the usual humour, although possibly with more innuendo than usual, but not really rising to the level of the top-notch Discworld books.
