Blimey that's a long time being the tallest building. 

Strictly speaking, it wasn't the tallest building all that time. The spire was struck by lightning at one point, which knocked a piece off, making it shorter than the Great Pyramid.

DPD aren't...

Here is a bit more detail from Richard Cusack.

 

Is the company really called Derby County (the Rams) Limited?

Two long-term regional sponsors of terrorism now exchanging "precision attacks" on each others terrorists in the other's countries. What could possibly go wrong?

No idea what or who prompted Iran to start this particular Shia v Sunni conflict, but it seems like a death-wish has taken hold of the IR regime and appears a crazy move even for them.

With one being a nuclear power...

All political parties have their grubby paw prints all over this, A report today saying even the Arch Bishop wanted Vennalls to get her CBE...My God 😁

She's a vicar in the Church of England. The Archbishop of Canterbury was probably looking at that aspect of her life rather than anything else. Besides, given the utter tossers that get these gongs, he might have just assumed she was going to get one anyway.

Days of passing out from the back are gone…. Vickers put his foot through everything 

And we scored from one

Just read this…

That certainly explains his dramatic fall in playing time.Only got himself (or his agent) to blame really.

But if the ref gives the free kick they don’t score and everything still looked rosey?

But he didn't give it. It's what happens and the players have to deal with that. By getting on with the game, regaining composure quicker etc.

and Collins misses an absolute gaper

Have we settled for a point?

Ref not giving that free kick has cost us here

Our inability to be calm under pressure has cost us

Who remembers when we were 2nd? 15 minutes ago

NB: they'd scored 7 goals away from home before tonight

Well well well, the ref does have his cards

Blimey, we look a right mess at the moment

rubbish

Her indoors: How's it going? Did I hear you cheer?

Me: 1-0 at half time. It's not enough.

Her indoors: What would be enough for you to relax? 5-0?

Me: Yes but even then an early goal for them in the second half would make me twitchy.

(the life of a Rams supporter)

How is it possible for Collins to miss by so much from there?

Has Wildsmith forgotten to reply to a Warne text or something? 

This screams of Paul being desperate for Vickers to be his number 1 and has waited for Wildsmith to drop the slightest of clangers before dropping him.

Poor decision and terrible man management if so.

zzzzzzz

He’s played 28 times ain’t he? We’re only in January. 
 

Averaging 55 minutes an appearance so not just 5-10 minutes here or there. 

According to transfer markt, 97 minutes in total since 7th November in the league. 20 minutes since Christmas.

Agree that on paper it looks good but Reading aren’t picking him at the moment. Could be that the uncertainty has unsettled him.

If he signs, will his grinning buffoon dad be seen at PP?

 

Mire importantly  did daddy pass on his football 'skills' to the lad? Such as running around chasing shadows?

He wouldn't be a starter he, but at 20 he's a decent player to have in the squad and develop. Whilst I would prefer Arblaster, I wouldn't be upset if we signed Savage to be backup to Bird.

Why pay a fee for someone who won't be a starter?

Got 4 goals from midfield for a team in absolute crisis? 1 goal per 7 matches for that s**** is nothing to be sniffed at. 
 

Also have to look at it that there’s a big chance we lose bird either now or in summer - will Hourihane still be here after summer? I’m not so sure. Same with regards to Smith. 
 

That’d leave us with Fornah and Thompson? Add Savage to them and a more senior player on a free in summer and you’ve got some decent options. You’ve got youth and legs. 
 

Id be very much for us making transfers that seem cheap but have potential for the players to grow with us. 
 

people always used to say they want us to be like Brentford well Brentford never signed players in their prime. They signed good players from underperforming teams based on their chairman’s model and developed them before selling them on for a fortune. 

He's not getting a game at a team in absolute crisis

Look at that team. 3 years after winning the league. It vexes my soul. Afflicts my humour.
