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.

Smile Like You Mean It: The Story of My Friendship With Rach, Mental Health and Our Latest Adventure.

I’m very fortunate to have great friends in my life, I don’t think you can put a value on good people. People who have your back, make you laugh, pick you up if you need it, advise you, complement you and at times challenge you. I’m not a great lover of texting or messaging, because it just isn’t the same as being together in real life. To me, a sign of a great friend is someone you can spend weeks or months away from, but when you do meet again, it’s like you were never apart. People come and go, the best people stay. In 2011, whilst at secondary school, I was elected to Sports Council. At this time I was failing to accept that my rugby playing days were nearly over. I have a lifelong problem with my back, it was getting worse. I was seeing two physios a week, hours of laying on my front having my back looked at, coupled with loading up on whatever pain relief the Dr would prescribe me. That was all to try and get through the rugby matches. Eventually, my consultant, Dr Jen...

A RADical Improvement To The Cambridge Beer Scene: The Rad Preview Night!

It’s so good to see Cambridge’s smallest pub back open! I was invited to the preview night and had a great time. For most of my drinking life, this pub was fairly rubbish. The beer, although cheap, was terrible. Most of it came from a brewery, which no longer exists. I don’t miss it. Enough about rubbish beer though, what’s the new Rad like? Well, in my opinion, it’s just what Cambridge needed. The beer scene in Cambridge is sadly dominated by Greene King, there are too few places where you can get both a good range of beer and beer served in good condition. The Rad had one of the best ranges of beer, I’ve seen in ages. There was literally something for everyone. From sours, to various types of IPA, impy stouts, lager and bitter! There were some preview night teething issues with the beer screens, but it’s so good to be able to see the beer list, style of beer and strength so clearly! The condition was excellent, as expected. I sampled beers from Marble, Two Flints an...

Moose On The Loose: Manchester - February 2024: This Is The One

Manchester is probably the most diverse beer city in The UK. It’s got traditional pubs, taprooms and trendy ‘craft’ places, the vast majority of places I’ve been in Manchester have been excellent! This is the story of my second pub trip to Manchester and I’m joined by legend of blog, Rach! The trip started with a massive error, and it’s not having a night out before an away day, because that is always a good idea. It is using trains. I should have driven, still I got do my first delay and repay. Anyway, on to the beer! We started at Hops & Boogie, as we needed to do some shopping in Sale. The Squawk Porter went done a treat! We then hopped on the tram and headed towards a strong contender for best taproom in The UK, Track. Rainbow beer board! My least fave type of glass Track’s taproom is spacious, light and has good seating options. Oh and great beer! What more could you want? Living my best life. We then headed to another taproom, Suresho...
