Thank You Neil Harris

I’m gutted to see Harris go, but if I was in his position I’d do exactly the same.

Seeing the club, that you love in trouble is hard. It’s especially hard when you can do little about it. However, that’s not the position Neil Harris is in. Millwall are currently in the Championship relegation places, and clearly don’t fancy a couple of league games against the mighty Cambridge next season (should we stay up). Millwall have acted today and sacked their manager. Harris is nothing short of a legend at Millwall, he’s their all time top goal scorer and had a successful stint as manager there. Harris clearly has a real affinity with Millwall, and I don’t think anyone can blame him for leaving us to help Millwall in their hour of need. I would drop everything to help Cambridge, but I very much doubt I’ll be asked to be the new manager.

Harris’ departure has come at a pretty much the worst time that it could have. Saturday 24th February, we host some dodgy team from up the A1. It’s looking like we will be without a manager for our biggest game of the season. The Pish fans, all 12 of them, must be licking their lips with a taste for blood.

I’d like to thank Harris for the signing of Lyle Taylor and a couple of great memories.

Harris’ first game in charge was Charlton away, one of my fave away days. United fought back from 2-0 down, to earn a valuable away point. We also go an indication of the way Harris’ United would play.

Harris’ also masterminded my first away win for two years! A commanding 4-0 win, up at Carlisle.

I’m sad to see Harris go, but I understand why he is choosing to. The timing isn’t ideal and I was really looking forward to seeing where Harris would take the club. Thank you for the memories Neil, and all the very best for the future.

Supermarket Weep - Lidl

It’s been a while, but Supermarket Weep is back! The series where myself and some ‘lucky’ guests, try supermarket own brand beer and beers brewed specifically for supermarkets. In previous episodes we all went wild in the aisles of Tesco and Aldi. Welcome to Supermarket Weep - Lidl. A piece of advice for you, don’t trust the terrible cupboard holders that these beers come in. I opted to go without a bag or a trolley and regretted that decision. The beers all fell out of the cupboard and onto the floor. I stuffed my pockets with some of the beers, which caused my shorts to fall down. A new low for me is accidentally exposing myself in a Lidl… Trolley to the rescue! Ignore than BrewDog, that was for something else! For this episode I was joined by friends of the blog, Dan and John. We kicked things off with Excelsior Lager, a French inspired beer. This was bad, like really bad. It’s a really watery beer, with a weird sweet taste. Awful. Next up was San Marti...

2024 In Review & The Beer Moose Awards!

“Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time” sang Pink Floyd in 1973. They’re sort of right, each year feels shorter than the last. In fact, it does not feel like a year since I was last writing a blog like this one. Contary to what Pink Floyd said, I found time to do quite a lot in 2024! I rode a new personal best 211 rollercoasters! 2024 will remembered as a bit of a rollercoaster (sorry). Great heights and moments balanced by a devastating loss and a rather poor Cambridge United team. This blog is aiming to be a review of my year, with some awards thrown in! Let’s get into it! January: January started with an FA Cup tie, away to Blackburn. I decided that Blackburn was sort of near Liverpool, so like all good away days we made it into a pub weekend. It was an absolute goal fest! Sadly, like most goal fests The U’s are involved with, it ended with United on the losing side. 5-2 Blackburn. Golden bird I liked Liverpool, it’s a smart and nic...

Phantasialand - My Happy Place

Using the phrase happy place makes me feel a bit cringe, but I don’t really know how else to describe how much I love Phantasialand. If I close my eyes and think about where I’d most like to be in the world Phantasialand and The Abbey come straight to mind, and I know which one I’d have more fun in at the moment! Ever since my first visit back in 2016 I’ve been in love with Phantasialand and it was time to return after a two year absence. I couldn’t wait for two full days at Phantasialand! We pick this up following Moose On The Loose In Cologne ( Link! ) in snowy Brühl, around 20km south of Cologne. The sight of Brühl Schloss greets you as you exit the train station: UNESCO tick! The next morning we made the walk from the hotel to the park, just before this walk I was convinced to join Strava! We arrived just before opening and received a golden welcome: The Berlin area Dragon Phantasialand has six dragons and now you’ve seen one of them! You may see more dragons later, but only i...
