Totally understand the sentiment. I completely checked out from all things NUFC due to that regime (at two points: when they got rid of Keegan—crept back into me during relegation season—then when they engineered Rafa’s exit). Thing is as club captain and seeing the toxic impact on the squad/everything NUFC of what was going on, trying to be facilitative/ambassadorial is understandable. Think you should give the lad a pass for those comments now. He’s earned it.

Phew! We were linked with him earlier in the window.

I remember Rob Lee signing at about the same age as Harrison. He got better and in time, I think Keegan’s faith in him and coaching really helped; he also in time adapted to a more central role. He was representing England a couple of years after he joined us and we all know what a stalwart he was in a very good side. I personally see Harrison as having the same potential and would therefore be delighted to have him.

Based on Howe’s last 19 games in charge, I.e. once he had a reasonable chance to influence, we’d have finished third. Bizarre but true.

Two of his team mates say ?

Hope you have ice… .

Absolutely nowt new on tinterweb re our hoped for striker quest. Glaring gap that really need filled.

Hope it was unusual and didn’t feel like a groundhog day.

Beats retiring to run a pub (…I think)

I gently tuck it in, under my pillow, each evening and softly sing it to sleep. Try it; feels nice.

Shit! Thought I had opened transfer rumours there!! A lot can change in 24hrs.

Trippier is a natural leader and the sensible choice, knowledge wise.

Decent half. Some nice passing movements throughout. Very much like Schar and Botman; add Targett in place of a bit pedestrian looking Dummett (going forward) and defence looks good. Fair play to Almiron, he’s been like a wasp—ok maybe a fly (needs more sting) — but decent from him. Wood… least said soonest mended. Fraser (maybe like a midge…) equally busy.

What was it?

That made me laugh out loud. “You’re a tremendous Nordic meat shield. Have at it!” “If I may be so bold? You have the poise of an apex predator but the eyes of a woodland creature.”

Two from early career, two from his middle third, and two from final third. Sorted!

As many that are required to answer one stupid question?

Can’t help with the songs (you might know them!) but was great and surprising seeing all my lot (kids) dancing and signing along (best they could). Dutch band were superb!

Great atmosphere and occasion at Bramhall Lane. First time I’ve watched a women’s international match, both sets of fans were great. Really friendly and good fun. Pub outside ground was fab too—blasting out songs from both and bedecked with flags.

We could work on the Billy tag. To tune of ‘Billy don’t be a hero’ ? Billy, our local hero, another goal with your right, Billy, our local hero, setting the Premier alight! ?

Must be some ‘surpass to requirements’ we might like to poach?

I miss the days of being on holiday and seeing NUFC tops alongside Man Utd, and very little else.

We’ll ‘cut our cloth’ according to the opposite. Sexy flexy Howeball (copyright).

That is way overpriced. We won’t pay that and seems clear that perceived ‘value for money’’/fairness is something none negotiable at the moment. Might change if we’re shitting it towards the end of next month!

Found this image which captures his game well. Slowed down as he is too rapido for the naked eye.
