The new documentary about his post Beatles work should be very good, if the book is anything to go by. (Out on Prime on Friday).

Welcome back

I was mad at all of them I guess!

10 out of 12 ain’t bad 10 out of 12 ain’t bad While Liam Manning couldn’t match Michael Duff’s four opening wins as a new Town manager, a rescued point against a surprisingly strong Blackpool side — given their league po…

frustrating point, but a point nevertheless. #htafc

And with that, I’m off skiing. See you at the end of March.

Theresa May?

Sweet Revenge Sweet Revenge The revolving door to the manager’s office at Huddersfield Town has rather taken the lustre off the traditional introduction of the next victim to take charge, and this was doubly so …

An excellent start for Manning and a hugely enjoyable derby

Why is the Yorkshire Post obsessed with this nonsense?

At one point in the second half, when we were on top for those 3 minutes, my mind went back to Warnock sneaking a win at EP and turning his time at Town around. Should’ve known better

In Barbados?

No report as I’m away but he has to go now. The lifeline of flat track bullying and scraping a draw at Lincoln has not been grasped - another woeful display against anyone half decent - which is barely what Stockport were. #htafc

It was the Gooch one that killed us IMO. Sorensen is terrible defensively and Exeter exploited it. (I wouldn’t have had Feeney as the central defender of 3 either when he came on for the injured Roughan)

We won’t get fooled again (we will) We won’t get fooled again (we will) Hugely questionable substitutions by Lee Grant in a very disappointing second half gave a competent, disciplined Exeter side the impetus to grab a deserved point…

Very late Exeter report #htafc

Ending the year on the up Ending the year on the up With a third win in a row against opposition who could be described as the bad, the grim and the ugly, Town enter 2026 with renewed optimism, sitting in the top six and ca…

Platform built, now finish the job #htafc

Absolutely

Town hammer the not too Valiants Town hammer the less than Valiants Three bursts of intensity buried an abysmal Vale side to give Town a potential platform for an assault on this mediocre league in 2026. One game remains of a dism…

Excellent win and entertainment at last #htafc

I think that’s fair comment - despite being very conservative second half, they worked hard and looked more like a team unit than for a long time.

False dawn klaxon? False dawn klaxon? Somehow, Lee Grant has survived yet another run of poor results with an expensive, misfiring squad still searching for form and consistency in a league of muddled mediocrity, but…

Can Grant build on this one, as the flat track bullies strike again?

Merry Christmas

He couldn’t get out fast enough! Not one for League 1

I’d have kept Duff, and appreciate that our manager turnover is appalling - it’s got worse under Nagle.

It’s Over It’s Over The latest in a litany of errors and missteps during Kevin Nagle’s tenure is surely about to come to a head, with Lee Grant heartily booed by a worryingly thin crowd, thoroughly unconvinc…

Thoroughly depressing afternoon and surely Grant’s swan song as Town manager?

Treble Trouble Treble Trouble Calamitously poor defending from Huddersfield Town overshadowed some encouraging positives in a hugely frustrating performance against AFC Wimbledon. Sadly for manager Grant, most at…

Recovering 3 times should’ve been a cause for celebration. It most definitely wasn’t!

More to do with the inadequacies of others though. This is a really strange division and now that he has worked out a formula to win, the depth of the squad should take us a long way. I’m looking forward to tomorrow after that.

An excellent Stag do An Excellent Stag Do For 30 minutes, Huddersfield Town excelled in murky Nottinghamshire, obliterating Mansfield Town by scoring three times in 15 minutes—and they could quite easily have doubled t…

A very late report on a very encouraging performance #htafc

Love Dylan but I saw him a few years ago at Bethell Woods - quite awful and he sounded like Selma from The Simpsons. I’d travelled a long way from NYC - if he’s as bad, Leeds to Harrogate isn’t far!

Town sink poor Pilgrims Town Sink Poor Pilgrims Sometimes, adversity becomes the mother of invention, and Town’s familiarly dire list of injuries finally forced Lee Grant to make changes that have seemed glaringly obvious…

Better. Now build on it. #htafc #HUDPLY

I went to the last quarter final cup appearance as a 12 year old. I’m now 65.

There isn’t a single club of note with a worse cup record over decades.

It’s just self inflicted in recent years with ridiculously weakened teams.

Grant exposed Grant Exposed Huddersfield Town’s annual collapse has come a lot earlier than usual this season, with the (admittedly limited) initial promise extinguished before the clocks go back. Another Kevin …

A worrying and hugely disappointing evening #htafc

St Greg’s (Huddersfield) had a magnificent football team in about 1973 which got to the semi final of the English Schools cup with Tony in it. I remember getting the afternoon off to watch it.

His good friend Gerry Quinn, also in the team, managed Emley against West Ham in the FA Cup 3rd round.

Haven’t seen a replay but I was expecting it to be given

Same old song Same Old Song Concern has turned to worry at the Accu Stadium as the 25/26 season begins to mirror last season’s unacceptable disaster. A promising start is dissolving, with goals drying up, injuri…

Bad day and too many parallels #htafc
