Haven't you heard mate? We did! It was clo(w)se, but we got there. Now is the time to build a new life... Softly, softly, catchee monkey... patience is a virtue... one day at a time (sweet Jesus)... etc, etc... If we have to scrape by for a while, losing to the likes of Crewe and Bradford, then so be it. It's much better than being dead. 🐏

Gotta say, it's a bloody good job King @David provides us all with a direct link to the fixture list. 🙄 I've said too much. etc.

It's ok... Turns out this is an old video from 2021, shot shortly before Arsenal signed Tavares from Benfica. ... They have since married, and have two beautiful puppies... one of each. *Some of the above is unsubstantiated internet hearsay. The rest, I made up for japes... but I'm not saying which is which, so I'll see you all in court, I guess! 🤓 #heavenmustbemissinganangel #don'ttakeawaythemusic #etc

I've done some research, and to be fair mate, it's not as many as you might think. It's actually few enough for them to count on the one hand... six, to be precise! 👀

on the highlights... there's a big white arc of shaving foam on the grass, and the ball is behind it. Admittedly, not centrally, but it's still behind the arc. I'd be amazed if there are no rules in tiny print somewhere, confirming this is more than acceptable (Otherwise the ref would pretty much tightly encircle the ball with his shaving foam, no?). I expect Mr Webb to politely tell them to do one!

Have to agree. we were clear top in Jan ‘07, above Brum, and with Sunderland nowhere in sight. I booked my hols for the end of May on the strength of that. I watched Pearson’s Wembley Winner in a bar on Majorca with a tear in my eye! 🐏

We wasted 2 hours pre-match sat in a very quiet Waterstones waiting for the DCFC fans cavalry to arrive. It was only after coming back on here to double check, that I realised we should have been in Wetherspoons! I really need to start going out more! 🙄

Derby boys, we are here, whoa oh… absolutely tearing up the place…

And we’re here… and even already checked in! Smashing! 🐏 not much of a view mind. off for a rampage shortly… come on you Rams. Do it for us full fans! 😜

Oh! Thank you. How on earth did you know. I've hardly mentioned it! 😁 🍻

I know where you're coming from mate. 👍 *

Despite my earlier suggestion for a change, on the whole, I do agree with your opening paragraph. My call for change was more poking my nose into the conversation than a crusade for change, if I'm honest. I'd probably say "There's little point in changing it, as there's little room for improvement" as opposed to "There's nothing wrong with it", but that aside, I'm with you. We all know where we stand before a ball is kicked, and we all know what needs to be achieved, and by when. As you say, we all know where that line is. And it's as fair as it's likely ever to be. 👍🍻

Thanks! 😁

I think the word you're looking for is Biennial... if that! 🤣

I've considered your outlandish suggestion for a good number of milliseconds, and come to the conclusion that I'm 100% with you, brother. #feckham #wemarchedonourown #partyondude #etc ... and someone should film us doing it, then send it to the FSA for them to share! 🐏

OK. We'll stick with what we have then... Finish 3rd to 6th... win a two leg semi-final... then head to Wembley to boil the entire season down to one game. 👀

Ah... but I have a cunning plan... The first game is on the Saturday, the second game on the Sunday, and the Wembley Final on the BH Monday! Sorry... I forgot to mention that bit! 😄

I'd quite like to see: 5th at home to 6th... Winner away to 4th... Winner of that at Wembley v 3rd. 3rd place may not guarantee promotion, but it guarantees a Wembley day out, and just the 1 play off tie to try to secure that promotion, rather than 3.

I try to avoid feeling a failure by being romantic all year round... even in the week! 🤓 We treat each other (materialistically and/or in other ways) as and when we deem fit, and play next to no part in all this calendar-related marketing department guff! Admittedly, it can sometimes appear that we are miserable gits or tightwads etc (no exchanging cards for Xmas, no valentine flowers (but plenty throughout the year), and more often than not, not even actual "un-wrappable" birthday presents either! For example, my birthday present this year is a weekend in Lincoln to go see the Rams Away... and maybe a steak dinner at Bernie Inns! 😁 It works for us. 👍

That's very generous of them, and I don't like to seem ungrateful, but I don't think we want a statue of John Rudge at Derby, do we? 👀

I'm gonna don the tightest "bonnét de pedant", and give a hypothetical thumbs down to this, as their catchphrase was good night, not goodbye. I know... and I'm very sorry.

A big fat juicy comfortable Birthday win for Messrs Mucker and Bloomer! 🐏 Away win. 1 - 4 S Bloomer frgs 🐏 🍰
