Kid Icarus Posted yesterday at 11:52 Share Posted yesterday at 11:52 Responsible for the loudest, most spontaneous and widespread celebrations I've ever heard inside SJP. He was absolutely fantastic in that match and even without that insane purple patch was brilliant for us for a good year to 18 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted yesterday at 11:53 Share Posted yesterday at 11:53 We must be trying to find a replacement this window if we can.

The Grealish thing revealed that people outside NUFC saw him as a joke but he was anything but. I'd like to believe most fans see his time here more positively than negatively at least.

NG32 Posted yesterday at 12:04 Share Posted yesterday at 12:04 The lad had some great moments, helped save us from what looked like certain relegation and then his amazing run of goals that helped fire us into the Champions League.

PRL Posted yesterday at 13:31 Share Posted yesterday at 13:31 (edited) My memory is shit these days but was there a brief period under Rafa when Miggy, Perez and Rondon were almost like a budget HBA, Cisse and Ba? One of the few times during the Ashley era we had a genuinely exciting attacking outlet. It’s easy to forget he came in under Rafa and survived the hellscape of Bruce to then flourish under Howe. He’s one of the genuine old to new era connecting players and I think that alongside the PSG goal as well as the ‘purple patch’ that was key the winter before in getting us those wins that took us into Europe afford him cult status. My own personal fave memory relating to Miggy was meeting a blind toon fan in the Fulham end next to the away section, the radios for the blind folk were not working for some reason, so he asked me to describe to him everything that was happening on the pitch, while all the Fulham fans around got gradually more irate. Eventually the bloke sat next to him and in front of me tells us he works in the Fulham ticket office and he’ll get us seats in the away end if we agree to fuck off and leave them all alone. Excitedly agree, walking underneath the stand to the disabled gantry by the away fans (not quite the away end seats I expected), we hear the crowd erupt above us. Miggy had just scored his side foot vollied masterpiece and I was arm in arm with a blind dude I had never met underneath the stand. What a day.

Chris_R Posted yesterday at 13:42 Share Posted yesterday at 13:42 I'll always love Miggy, that patch where he was banging them in was great fun and he always plays with a smile. Great lad. Delighted we're actually selling someone for money though, for far too long have we just let people drift away on frees. Need to be more proactive like this.

One of the few times during the Ashley era we had a genuinely exciting attacking outlet. We looked good in Rafa's last half season here. European places good. If ever Ashley had any intentions of backing Rafa and the club then that was the time but of course we all know how that turned out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
