Best football song by a million miles 

That’s brilliant but us Derby fans can’t even finish Steve Bloomer’s watching at the same time so doubt we could pull this off! 

Not sure if anyone else has posted this but it has bought a rare smile to my day. 
 

Potentially on Feb 1st he could be out of a job anyway so maybe Everton are waiting to see what happens. 

Former Swindon Town defender Jamie Vincent has died aged 46, according to the League Two club.

The left-back had an 18-year career during which he played more than 500 games for AFC Bournemouth, Huddersfield Town, Portsmouth, Derby County, Millwall, Walsall and Aldershot Town.

He helped Swindon win promotion to League One in 2007.

"Our thoughts go out to all of Jamie's family and friends at this incredibly sad time," the Robins said.

Vincent began his career at Crystal Palace before moving to Bournemouth in 1996 where he played 133 times and was a team-mate of Newcastle manager Eddie Howe and his assistant Jason Tindall.

He was named in the PFA Division Two Team of the Season for 1998-99 as the Cherries finished outside of the play-off places on goal difference.

A £500,000 move to second-tier Huddersfield came in March 1999 before a reported £800,000 transfer to Portsmouth two years later.

Vincent played in all three tiers of the English Football League ending his professional career with Aldershot in 2011.

Another impressive showing by Festy today. Granted he’s not yet the finished article but the lad can tackle, has pace and has some badly needed flair. One to watch.

Maybe Steve Nicholson from the D.E.T could rebuild his journalistic reputation by taking up the baton instead of regurgitating news articles from elsewhere and turning them into click bait.

Graham Richards would sort them out!

It'll probably be a 4th choice goalkeeper

Also how Stimac was only a first team regular for one season.

Never ceases to amaze me the rapid decline in quality from the mid 70s to the end of that decade.

Good piece of work BTW.

You can see exactly when The Doc started to do his damage.

From Kevin Hector and Charlie George up front to Gerry Ryan and Charlie George, then Billy Caskey and Roy Greenwood in successive seasons.

Not overly scientific. Based on the highest number of league starts made in Goal, Defence, Midfield, Attack in a 442 formation.

Three ‘subs’ are those with the next most starts.

We had those curtains and that very same ball…dad worked away occasionally…surely not…

What colour is / was your hair? That'd be the clincher!

Leamington 

Leamington non league, Coventry football league

Born in Belper into a Derby fan household and taken along to the BBG from an early age, this is my school picture from whatever year this kit was in case no one believes me ?

 

Mine is even worse as:

A) It was before there was any such thing as replica shirts so my Mum attached a Rams badge on a plain white shirt with poppers

B) My hair clashed with the Trophy football and the curtains

C) It was my 10th birthday and my cake only had a measly three candles.

Remarkably few of us live in Derbyshire!

6. Last time I went to Blackpool I rode on a donkey......…..took me two weeks to get there! 

7. They say that women prefer the strong silent type......….apparently this doesn't apply to farts though. 

8. My girlfriend accused me of cheating on her...................... I told her she was starting to sound just like my wife. 

9. It's 10 years today that my mate Dave came running down the corridor with tears streaming down his face, screaming "Its a boy, It's a boy!"............We haven't been back to Thailand since! 

10. I'm secretary of the Time Stealing Society.......I take the minutes.

That’d be fantastic. Would the Peterborough game work (19/2)? How many of you would come do you think as I seem to remember a few of you going along when I saw you at Millwall the other season?

 

Yes, if we can get it there then I’ll ring round all the companies and see what quotes I can get. Ultimately it has to be worth doing for us all in terms of cost.

I can't make that one unfortunately as already signed up to take the Mrs away for a surprise weekend away. Peterborough at home would indeed be a surprise but not quite what she is expecting!

I know one Ipswich based fan on here who is a ST holder with his family but unfortunately it'll work out cheaper for the four of them to drive in one car than the price you've been quoted per person for the bus. I think the cost could be the issue here.

ASAP while we are playing well and haven't sold half the squad

Possibly but would depend on date chosen as diary pretty full. 

Might be worth getting another quote as I reckon fuel price increases have out that price up by now.

Brian Clough still is the greatest manager Derby County ever had his team won 2 titles at the highest level, no other Derby manager comes close, stats are a waste of time, winning titles is the name of the game.

Derby's major mistake letting him go.

He only won one with us of course, but I'm sure you know that given your user name!

Since BC. Excluding caretakers with single figure games to their names.

On Points per game, Wazza is ranked 20/27. Behind Terry Westley and ahead of Phil Brown

On win percentage, he is 20=/27, same as Terry Westley and ahead of Colin Todd.
