  1. As I am sat in the away supporters pub surrounded by Oxford fans (went with a mate who is an Oxford fan), it seems a poigninat moment to try this.

    I am local to Oxford (Didcot) but I am a Ram.

    Now starting to sound like a dating site, but I'm looking for anyone else who may be local to travel to games with etc.

    I, like all of us is so thankful we still have a football team and would like to try and get to as many games as possible which is hard when mates all support prem teams.

    If anyone is interested or can point me towards anyone that would be then thank you very much.

    Up the ? ? ? ? ?

    Cant find any in the south stand. Been waiting for the strike info to be confirmed before I could get mine

    I think it's fair to say that he's stuck by the club and the club has stuck by him. He played in every single game of the 2013/14 season (53), and all but 2 the following season (51). He would have probably carried on like that in subsequent seasons, but for two terrible injuries, neither of which were his fault. AFAIK he's never been a trouble-maker, never been one of the better paid in the squad, at least until it started to be dominated by under 21s, and always been willing to play where the manager wanted him to. By any measure, for a modern-day footballer, his career at Derby has been notable.

    I don't really agree with testimonials for footballers these days - most of them earn enough if they stay at one club for 10 years at Championship level, because that's a longer than average career, but i hope at least that he signs on for his 10th full season with us, not least because he'll be essential cover at LB/LCB. Then perhaps we can ensure he gets a good send off when we know it's his last game for us.

    I think its not really about the money, its about the recognition.

    I'm about to complete 20 years service for that I'll get a little do, a speech, a free bar and a meal.

    My company don't have to do that but i appreciate they do that for people.

    Despite what we are paid sometimes we dont appreciate how we are treated/respected by our employer. Footballers arent different they just earn more money than us and money isnt everything to everyone.

    Nathaniel Mendez-Laing is potentially a great signing at this level, but he does come with baggage. I hope there's a clause in his contract that if he tests positive again the club has the right to dismiss him and he has to repay the wages paid out to him.

    It may well be he's learnt his lesson and is a reformed character and can be a good influence on the youth. Let's hope so.

    So did Ravel!!
