Literally a racing snake...

F*** me, it feels like I've aged 20 years during that second half! Huge result. Not necessarily for the opposition or the performance, but the situation being what it is it's all about the results now and a win, and a clean sheet, in this game, is huge. Well done lads! 😎

No replays in the FA Cup from the First Round.

Agree. I get the fixture congestion line that's always trotted out with this kind of thing, but there are far better solutions than this. Why not increase the Premier League squad lists from 25 to say, 30, and make them actually play some of the vast amounts of talent that the Premier League clubs hoover up from the lower leagues? As a point of reference, re fixtures - Man City played 61 games in total last year. Winning the treble. In 71-72 we won the league, and neither the FA Cup, or League Cup, and had no European impediments, and we played 60 games. -
Always found it really annoying that in the 88/89 season review video they missed his goal against Wimbledon 😡

It wouldn't be half as bad if it wasn't so utterly predictable. Open up a 7-point gap to 3rd? f*** that, let's phone it in and keep things interesting instead. Every f****** time. Mentally weak, and tactically clueless is not a great combination.

We've had some fantastic sides that contrived not to get promoted over the years, but the best is a toss-up between the Johnson/Gabbiadini/Kitson side and the Mac I side. A crying shame that neither was tested in the top flight. As far as J/G/K go, I've followed Derby since around '87 and it's probably in my top 3 most-exciting forward lines during that time, along with Saunders/Goddard and Wanchope/Baiano/Sturridge. J/G/K seemed to complement each over quite nicely.

"And Wanchope treated the Manchester United defense with absolute contempt" is mine I think 😎

Having only just discovered the saga of this thread I can only say welcome back Ed, and FFS, I think I'd prefer hearing Ed on commentary than reading some of the sh** we post here sometimes. Also, good luck to Sally, hadn't realized she'd left RD. Always thought she was one of the better presenters on RD tbh. Re matchday commentary, I think those of us who grew up with Graham Richards have been spoiled somewhat.

Dwight Gayle - Signed until the end of the season

They probably don't want to draw Smoggy's ire. No doubt if Boro fail to make the playoffs then he'd complain to the EFL that Gayle would have gone to a Championship club and scored a boat-load of goals against their championship rivals.... -

Had to look that up in our dictionary. Says "C**t"? -

If it is blocked by the clowns at the EFL then I'd be demanding a full rationale as to why. - We have whatever we got in the Bird deal - They were happy enough for us to sign a striker on deadline day - Presumably Collins' injury is covered by insurance So, WHAT exactly is the EFL's problem with this? Other than to blatantly screw us over one last time while they can? -

Tbf, it wouldn’t be like the EFL to pass up any chance to be a bunch of c***s. Especially when it comes to us. Not vindictive at all the EFL….🙄 -

Well one of them will be Port Vale so we can pretty much rule them out.... 🙂 -

At least it's been educational. Who else knew it took paint 45 minutes to dry....? -
