The great white hope himself has returned to training and by all photographic accounts the boy Winks is raring to get to it.
Whist we’re all braced for the ‘just like a new signing’ cobblers, Winks will be given a genuinely warm welcome.
It was an ankle ligament injury sustained against Burnley on April 1st last season that caused the 21 year old to be taken off on a stretcher and miss the rest of the season.
Harry has been pretty upbeat his progress and told the club site:
“I’m obviously still rehabbing and I’ll be in a good 10 days or so before everyone, just getting myself fit, testing my ankle and making sure it’s okay to go back into full training.
I’ve almost got a pre-season before a pre-season just to get myself fit so hopefully I can come back in the best shape I can possibly be in.”

With thanks to SSG!
Saw that stat yesterday and in true Sid James stylee went “Blimus”
I’m playing in a friendly match this afternoon back in my old home town of Sutton Coldfield. We then take on the Aston Villa ‘Legends’ in a charity match in September. This week, I was informed that 1, possibly 2 of the players that feature in the team we’re playing today have been ‘inside’ for a few years… Wish me luck!
It’s not actually possible to be killed on a football pitch, is it?
I mean, what odds are we talking here?
Depends if they’re tooled up or not…
Crikey, a wrench hidden in their shin pads. Is that possible?
Better that th an a Stanley blade in their panty pads. For them, too.
Well, I guess, when you put it like that…
Which charidee are you supporting?
Ex Violent Offenders Rehab Program Charidee…
Ha, it’s an epilepsy charity. My mate who is organising it has been a long-time sufferer.
Jimmy Savile tracksuits r us.
Depends what they were banged up for. You might find they’re a little too helpful with the magic sponge.
That’s heartening. One of my team-mates said “He’s quite a nice lad really… When he’s not killing people…” 😳
Remember in my Sunday league footy days after one of my team made a sarky comment to one of the oppos that he couldn’t hit a cows c*nt with a banjo. He replied “I’ve done bird for the likes of you”. He looked the sort so there was a def frisson in the air afterwards.
I can imagine there was. Can see myself jumping out of tackles like Eriksen if the ‘friendly’ mood sours at any point.

Lovely stuff. I’m having a dabble with vintage Fila polos at the moment.
Nice. I like the Fila track tops and the Diadora trainers.
The Fila Lecce is a classic. I picked this up a couple of months back. Love it.

Less than 20 Sovs isn’t bad. I had one of these as a kid:

And several pairs of these, but in brighter colors:

Nice. When you say brighter colours, I assume you mean mustard yellow perhaps?
I think I did have the yellow, and the electric blue. Possible red.
Some kids used to slit the bottoms so they sat nice on the old Diadorras…
Yep. To the Farrah’s as well.
The Farrah’s were a slimmer cut from memory and the slitting was often a given.
That is great news. Hoped he wouldn’t be out too long, meaning the club sign someone for his position and then he finds others blocking his way back to the first team and had to move on to get a chance elsewhere.
A few more starts this season hopefully.
Steven Gerrard’s let himself go:
It’s a fair stab at a disguise, to be fair, but nobody’s forgetting that slip.
I liked Walker (the player) and I didn’t want him to leave, but now he has I have zero interest in him. I don’t wish him ill for the future but, now his future isn’t at Spurs, I wish him no more good than I would any other schmuck I might’ve seen from afar, but never known.
Changing the subject: Does anyone know if tax is payable on transfers? Maybe that’s (one of the reasons) why fees are paid in instalments?
It’s 04.50, I’ve got work in 3 hours. Yay, fookin yay.
Are you at work, yet? May I have a double sausage and egg McMuffin meal with orange juice, please?
Bacon and egg McMuffin meal with brown sauce and a Latte for me, please.
I actually prefer a sausage and egg bagel meal with orange iuice and extra hash brown, but I didn’t want to confine Fofty as he still sounds half-cut.
Seems like the usual delay with our orders. Can’t get the staff these days…
I’m on it.
Finally.
All the sorts north of Watford are munters (excluding Alan).
Yes.
You lot talking about football again, Wassamatta wid youz,go to sleep and leave it to the professionals wudja
Ok.
If Pep can get Walker to cross a ball then he can be rightly judged the world’s best coach. Citeh have to have a contingent of home grown players, they’ve paid over the odds for Walker, Sterling & Stones but they have at least bought players raised in the physical blood and thunder of the English domestic league and (ahem) England players. Walker caused chaos in opponents half with his pace and on occasions in our half! Not interested in why he went as it was his choice and good luck to him. However I would say to those suggesting it was down to money, if you were offered a pay rise doubling your current salary knowing you probably have 5-7 years left in your chosen career would you not take it?
I would
G’morning, Plickster.
By the time I have 5-7 yrs left in what ever career I land up in (what’s the retirement age for lollipop ladies?) I hope to have gone to be with Jesus, preferably in a pre-tribulation rapture.
I don’t know. I don’t. I think I do, but when it comes down to it, I don’t. Guess work. Aaah.
Hi UFP.
Hope alls good with you buddy.
Just posting my daily contribution
Can we just fackin sign someone, i actually don’t care who it’ll be anymore, anyone will do, we can re-sign Steven Caulker for all i care
Hello YIE, long time no dislogue.
Hope you’re ok too matey.
Noo, noo…
walker looks like a jerk in his etihad shirt.he has just circumvented his destiny
he has just brainfarted his life
I’m not getting into this “Walker was shit anyway, better off with the cash” nonsense.
It just so happens a good right back leaving a team that is fully functional and full of decent players isn’t going to disrupt things much.
I’m not 100% sure that Bonzo was switched on enough to fully buy into the Poch way, he’s had a few bad injuries, he’s 27 so his value is set to decline from here, 50m was good business etc etc
However, this is essentially a senior first team player demanding to move to double his salary.
Whatever you think of Walker and his lack of certain attributes that may justify such a hefty fee, the fact is his head was turned and his wages doubled.
Let’s hope replaceable Bonzo doesn’t become the trail blazer for more in the team we can’t replac
So much for the “not getting into this”…
Once you pop……
Cheese and chives?
I didn’t get into what I said not getting into, if you actually read it…
could be fun next season watching poch put the finger on walkers weak points when we play him.we know all about him and can induce brain farts . I expect a couple of Dele nutmegs on him would be fun as well
Sneijder is 33. Not the Porky profile. I still hope there will be at least one quality signing [not talking about new boys Rose, Coco, Winks] but fear that we will be treated to avatars of Clinto Cards, Faz, Sissy–DL substitutes instead of useful footballers. This syndrome goes back to Saha and Nelson, if not further.
I invite DD to compile a list of all the pitiful substitutes we have been treated to through the DL years.
If Walker is moving because he’s a serial sex pest (poetic licence), then how on oeuf does he think moving norf will help?
Is he a random shagger? I can imagine him humping some tart’s leg actually…
“But sometimes your path isn’t there and you have to move on and what a place to come and take a different path. Just win trophies – that’s all I’m about and all I want to do.”
What a cock!
Surprised about Gary Linekers criticism of Kyle’s play. I always thought he was a big fan of Walkers.
It was an observation not criticism, which happens to be true.
He is a hoofwanking bunglecrosser.
To Walker – You’re a shit Kieran Trippier!!
Cheers bud, when can you pop over and sort it out? 👍
Click “Safari” at the top then “Preferences”
Click the security tab on the pop-up
Click plugin settings
Select Adobe Flash Player
Scroll down to The Boy Hotspur and turn the facker off!
Restart Safari.
If that doesn’t work, go to DML.
DML?! And there I was thinking you cared..
Just seen Walker in a shiteh shirt, I wish him all the best and hope he haemorrhages brain farts on a regular basis for them. 😜💨
Feels weird..
Then stop touching whatever you’re touching, simples.
Walker can FRO…. couldn’t handle the heat from Tripps or his missus..
41%, 43%, 48%, 69%, 87% memory used, and up it goes.
Why would just one site screw with my memory and not others?

PS how do you disable Adobe Flash player?
try a diff browser – see what happens
Depends on your browser
Search for “disable flash in [insert browser]”
Cheers Nut, I’m on Safari (el capitan 10.11.2), but no idea where to find flash player, I assumed the flash player was Adobe player which I update every now and then, and is in applications, but I cant see any disable function.
PS I currently have no other windows open and it appears (so far) to be ok, will test further.
PPS, I have also cleared the cache and given the computer a stern talking to (pack it in, you are NOT the fakin mac daddy!), so here’s hoping.
YouTube it
Nah, you tube it. I’ll take a cab.
It’ll be like getting a brand new blogger when you get back to full blog activity.
Is it August yet?

Kieran Trippier Wow, you won’t fret so much now!
Some good football there, hope he continues to play like that…pre season starts next Saturday I believe, need some new blood…
I recognize the practical issues that likely allowed the move, but still think there a few issues w us selling Walker: 1) despite being an idiot going forward w very little end product, he is still over all, a very good full back. Leaving. Making us thinner; 2) There has to be a psychological effect on others when a starter leaves for greener pastures; 3) he’s getting paid way more, see no. 2.
Fortunately, we’ve received a huge fee and have Trippier, a much smarter footballer, vastly better going forward (who could really help Vinny this year w good crossing) albiet IMO a full back at about the same overall level as Walker w different strengths and weaknesses.
So now what? We need cover and more attacking players. FFS.
What have got against the word ‘with’?
Make or break year for Onomah, shone for country, not for club by comparison, he either steps up giving a credible option in Att/Mid or goes i think, Winks the example to follow. Seeing as the transfer room is locked and no one really wants to find the key, which will be pissing the gaffer off coz he hasnt quite mastered moonwalking on water just yet and could need a bit of a boost….only following up our most successful premier league season and the champions league as our reward, why wouldnt a paper thin squad be able to fight on all fronts…and at f**kin’ wembley…fills me with dread and cringe everytime i think about it 😨
i’ll give walker he was slightly better than timothy atouba but only just.
With all these old player becoming like new signing, we don’t have to spend any money. The bean counters will be chuffed
On Walker, Trippier proved far superior at the end and his distribution was outrageously good. You can have all the pace in the world but a footballing brain is priceless and Trippier has one…Walker…not so much, just very good at what he could do well. (Just my opinion is all 😉). Trippier will shine, giving effort everytime i see him
Tripps is an infinitely better player.
Absolutely, all day long
But walker still strengthens a side we shouldn’t be helping. Levy is a graveyard for ambition. At this point I would put anyone in charge as at least Risdale tried. Disgusted.
With Walker gone and Winks & Lamela due back soon, we’re actually better off! Oh yesh. Work that one out.
Lamela. Rose. Winks. 3 new signings
Maybe Sissoko has transformed from an ugly duckling? Nah, forget it.
Lol
Hoorah! It’s like a new signing.
BASTARD 🤣
I have to legitimise myself somehow.
Great news. Next year the Man Utd media will be masturbating over him and not Dier
They can chew on what they want
Sneider free agent could do worse for a season certainly has the desired experience and would be handy in the champions league probably want big wages
Agree.
