I don't read the daily telegraph, but I do quite often flick through the headlines on their website. The daily telegraph seems to set the agenda for the conservatives and consequently the current government so it is useful to keep an eye on what the telegraph are saying (even though most of it is crazy). Anyway, they have been noticeably ramping up war talk, we should get prepared to go to war with Russia etc. Mental.

I thought this topic was going to be about Mary Earp's underwear is outerwear dress.

Whilst most posters have focused on b4's positivity, he could at times develop a pathological dislike to certain players. Whenever Stephen Warnock appears on the TV or radio I'm reminded of b4 because he was one such player. Being sent off in an FA cup game was an unforgivable offence. Chris Baird was another, but I can't remember if there was a trigger incident. Nick Blackman has already been mentioned by other posters. Is it possible to name an 11 of b4 dislikes? I guess Eric Steele could be in goal.

I only read this sad news at lunchtime today. I'm not a crier. I don't ever cry when there is some sad story on the news. I've never understood how anyone could cry at the death of a celebrity or a member of the royal family, people they've probably never met. Yet for most of this afternoon I found myself blubbing my eyes out over the loss of b4. I've never met Daniel. Being an infrequent poster I've only read his messages on this forum. B4 was the definition of a supporter. Towards the end of a season I'll find myself looking at the fixtures imagining an unexpected turn around of form, an amazing sequence of results that will project Derby into the playoffs or autos. Of course I'll never publicly express these dreams, we've mostly been conditioned as adults to have a cynical outlook. B4 believed though and was not afraid to say so. I hope B4s family and friends can take some comfort from these messages. He will be missed.
