Summary

Fascinating and original ... will tell you things even the most ardent United fan will not know' - Jim White, The Telegraph

On 26 May 1999, Manchester United sealed their historic Treble of league, FA Cup and Champions League in the most dramatic fashion imaginable, scoring twice in stoppage time to snatch an unthinkable victory from Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou in Barcelona.

The story of what happened on the pitch is well known, enshrined in the annals of football history. But less in known about how this rollercoaster campaign played out behind the scenes. Thanks to unparalleled insight gleaned from hundreds of exclusive interviews, with United players, coaches, opponents, backroom personnel, club staff, journalists and commentators, They Always Score: The Unforgettable, Improbable, Iconic Story of Manchester United’s Treble Winners peels back the curtain to give readers the most comprehensive, illuminating and entertaining picture ever painted of one of the all-time great sports teams.

This book invites readers into a deep contemplation of their own spiritual journey, encouraging a reflective exploration of faith, the complexities of the human psyche, and the pursuit of inner peace.

    Fat Off Fat On - A Big Bitch...

    In this disarming and candid memoir, cultural critic Clarkisha Kent unpacks the kind of compounded problems you face when you’re a fat, Black, queer woman in a society obsessed with heteronormativity. 
     
    There was no easy way for Kent to navigate personal discovery and self-love. As a dark-skinned, first-generation American facing a myriad of mental health issues and intergenerational trauma, at times Kent’s body felt like a cosmic punishment. In the face of body dysmorphia, homophobia, anti-Blackness, and respectability politics, the pursuit of “high self-esteem” seemed oxymoronic. 
     
    Fat Off, Fat On: A Big Bitch Manifesto is a humorous, at times tragic, memoir that follows Kent on her journey to realizing that her body is a gift to be grown into, that sometimes family doesn’t always mean home, and how even ill-fated bisexual romances could free her from gender essentialism. Perfect for readers of Keah Brown’s The Pretty One, Alida Nugent’s You Don’t Have to Like Me, and Stephanie Yeboah’s Fattily Ever After, Kent’s debut explores her own lived experiences to illuminate how fatphobia intertwines with other oppressions. It stresses the importance of addressing the violence scored upon our minds and our bodies, and how we might begin the difficult—but joyful—work of setting ourselves free.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Manifestation promises that your thoughts can shape reality, attract money, bring back love, heal your life, and unlock abundance if you can only align your energy correctly. But when the result does not arrive, the blame often turns inward: maybe you did not believe enough, maybe your vibration was off, maybe you had hidden resistance, or maybe the universe was testing you. 
     
    This audiobook starts from a different place: you were not stupid. You were sold the wrong mechanism. 
     
    Manifestation Is a Scam explains why the law of attraction feels convincing even when it fails. It breaks down scripting, vision boards, affirmations, the 369 method, signs, shadow work, feminine energy, gratitude, and manifestation success stories, then separates the useful psychology from the spiritual marketing. The result is not cynicism, but a practical replacement: reality, evidence, action, and leverage.
