We'd "dropped" to 6th at HT. FT brings us to settle at a respectable Christmas 4th place. 4pts behind 2nd with a game in hand. Effectively 5 points if Bolton win their game in hand. It ain't perfect. There's a lot of work to be done. But imo, it is very, very acceptable, and gives us plenty to be hopeful for, and plenty to look forward to. My cockles are well and truly warmed. ... I just hope that last kick peno for wycombe doesn't prove to be costly when we chivvy up at the end of the season! 😲

Say what you like about her last performance at PPS... but I ain't listening! This pic is absolutely glorious. Well done, that woman! Just look at her full time face... 👏

Luton and Burnley seem up for a fight. Bring it on. Merry Christmas, @Red_Dawn 🍻

Gotta say, that was as clean a tackle as clean tackles go. I'd also add:

Third from bottom Luton (currently winning v The Toon) stand 2 points behind Forest... Luton with a game in hand. Interesting... very interesting!

1-2 cherries lead...

That's the problem right there. Ain't things never improving, while guys like you are allowed to sit. Get theesen on thy bloody feet, yooth! 👀

I sometimes get the impression that once every blue moon, (some) players put aside any coaching instructions, and just think "what the heck...". It's almost like some of them even have a mind of their own. "Instinct", I think they call it? See a team mate in space? A good run through the channel? A defender has just slipped, or pulled a hammy? Sod it, let's try and play them in! It's like something just snaps, and they make a decision there and then! It's quite shocking to witness. I saw my mate the other day, and he reckons some white guy once saw that the oppo keeper was way off his line. He only went and took a shot from his own half, lobbing the stranded keeper and scoring a goal that some went on to describe as "World class". I seriously doubt his coach at the time (whoever that was?) had had him drilling that day after day at the training ground? 🤷‍♂️

It's great fun. Nothing ever, ever goes wrong...

I turn up with a metaphorical smile on my face, but I ain't exactly buzzin'. It ain't buzzin' on the approach to, or around the outer perimeters of, the stadium, 10 mins before KO. I'm happy to sit and watch, applaud a good move, cheer a goal or a close effort. I even occasionally go "Ooh" for a near miss. But I don't think I've started a NE rendition of "Come on Derby" all season. Even after going a goal down. Something needs to click, for us all to be buzzin' again, I reckon. Maybe we're not far off that click? Next month? Easter? Not quite this season, but hopefully next? Who knows when it will happen, but we need that click. We need to have something happen (on the pitch) that brings back the belief. We ain't there yet.

And brought to our attention by our esteemed leader @David too, so we're hardly running shy from it! How to go from oneupmanship to 4daysbehindmanship in 7 seconds. Dawny has embarrassed herself there. #pisstakenotpisstake

I'd like to say I wholeheartedly agree with that. I can't, as I haven't got a bloody clue what you are wittering on about... but I'd like to. If they offered a cuddle emoji reaction thing, I would have given you one. (Stop it!)

I used to advise that, if your baby doesn't like cold milk, warm it up in a microwave for 90 seconds, but after being invited to help the police with their enquiries for 7 bloody hours down at Full St nick, no way am I making that faux pas again!

a/c? Brrrrrr! 🥶 ❄️

Me too mate, although you spell it different to me. It's almost an annual treat, now. #enjoy

"If God had intended football to be watched from seats, He* wouldn't have called the spectator area a stand". *Gender pronoun used merely to disguise the true Identity of God, and is no way based on fact, true events, or even on what Brian would most definitely have said way back when such terms as "Of course he worra bloody bloke, yer daft bint" were perceived as "acceptable". etc.

Are we allowed mixed teams now then? 🤷‍♂️ ... And is she any good? 🤷‍♂️ #multigender #genderfree #unspecifiedgender #whatevergenderwhatever

I have a cunning plan already afoot... let's just they they are being specifically designed to work with rail seats/safe standing. I'm calling them "Terrace-Tena". #patentpending

Summed up in one word, for me... #bringitonyoumofoknuckleshufflingne'erdowells

Ooh! I am 3.5 years ahead of schedule, in my 4 year quest to become established at the top of the championship! Yeah. Go me!

I like having a player called Fozzle. Either that, or I need new specs. 🤓

That explains why B4's post were the cream of this forum. #groan #dcfcpuns.co.uk #we stand up a-whey #etc
