Advantages: Top quality content

Disadvantages: Lacks the 'fun' element of some competitors

As a subscirber of FourFourTwo magazine for a number of years, I belive that without doubt, it is the best football magazine aimed at serious football fans that is available on the market. The other main magazines focused on domestic football are Match and Shoot. Match is very good in its own right, but is focussed much more on a younger audience. I find the writing in Shoot to be quite boring and often feel that there aren't enough interesting articles in there. This leaves us with FourFourTwo, which doesn't fail to deliver.

FourFourTwo does not focus on providing a news round up of everything that has happened in the world of football in the last month, it leaves that to the newspapers. Instead, it gives a number of articles that give the reader a better insight into particular areas of football. Regular articles include a monthly look at a particular grudge match from around the world. There is also a monthly "The Boys A Bit Special" article, which highlights promising youngsters who you can then look out for and monitor as their career progresses.

The magazine also looks back in time, to relive and educate the reader on historical football events. There are also regular countdowns of things such as the best footballers outside the Premiership, which adds interest.

A particularly helpful section for those who enjoy reading more about football is the section which reviews the latest book and computer game releases. I have read a number of very good books as a result of reccommendations from this section.

Overall, FourFourTwo is a very good magazine for those who want high quality opinion, debate and wish to increase their knowledge of football history at all levels. It is perhaps not as fun as other magazines such as Match but the content is certainly on a higher level and so I would certainly reccommend it as the best football magazine available.

Summary: A top notch football read
