I'm on holidays in Scotland at the minute......not bad

Really bad signal here.  Your post is like an internet version of Norman Collier, but I think I've got the gist of it.
Are you on honeymoon?
Congratulations.  Sounds like it's going really, really well.  Respek!
 

Still 4.2 which is the same as before I think. 

Tasted ok too. ??

A quiet week of Derby County news means that it's time for another ex-player interview!
Listen here: Rams Review Meets Miles Addison!

- The fixed semi-final first leg against Juventus and THAT penalty miss at The Baseball Ground

I hope you enjoy the podcast as much we did recording it! It was an absolute blast! Let us know your thoughts on the podcast and your thoughts on Alan Hinton!

We recently sat down with Derby County title winning legend Alan Durban and discussed his sporting career! We found out what brought him to Derby (even though he had a chance to go to Hull) and what it was like working under Brian Clough. We find out about his cricketing career and what it was like winning the title with Derby! We also found out about the European Cup Semi-Final against Juventus (a match that saw Peter Taylor arrested) and we find out what it was like to make his Wales debut in Rio. He also discusses with us Don Revie's Leeds United side.
Listen Here: Rams Review meets...Alan Durban!
It was amazing to sit down with this legend who I grew up with stories of for an hour. Mr. Durban is an incredibly nice gentleman who has done a lot in the game. I hope you enjoy the podcast as much as I did making it! 
Let us know what you think about the episode!

Hey everyone,

Our Season Review pod is out now:

What a season, eh? After an infuriating, relentless but ultimately relief-filled campaign, Chris, Anton, Tom and Richard look back on Derby County's woeful 20/21 struggles in the hope we never have to endure a season like this again.
Was this year as bad as 07/08... if not worse? Who did we select for our Player of the Year and Goal of the Season? We also discuss what went wrong for Phillip Cocu (and Wayne Rooney), and brace ourselves for next year as we wonder what sort of points deduction the Rams can get away with... if they're still a Championship club.
LEAVE A REVIEW! If you like SBW, please rate us on Apple Podcasts or Facebook.

Thanks for listening this season! Chris, Tom, Richard and Anton.
 

As I was unable to go drinking beer in the Czech Republic this weekend as originally planned the Czech pivo has had to come to me.

Shameless bump: Here are the Apple and Spotify links, for those of that persuasion.

This final one for now shows the same WLDd as an earlier table but this time I have colour coded wins as green lossses as red and draws as amber to make it really easy to spot good and bad runs of form.
Again, I have slpit this into the 2 halves of the season and just out of interest added our overall win/loss/draw percentages for first/second half and overall.

Good luck Rams against The Massive ,hope you stay up .
Your fans were some of the most fervant in our fight against the Oystons, hope to see  you in the Championship next season. 

Evening all - cautious to not even acknowledge that the current situation is a reality and not a dystopian nightmare, I'm working on a second book at the moment that will build off the back of Pride (available in all standard book stores, probably)
A few interviews deep now (The Mac is coming up shortly...) I just wanted to put it out there that if anyone has any questions for:
Robin van der Laan Igor (no, really. I'm not sure how either) Spencer Prior I'd love to be able to put a few to them during the conversations I've got planned. Feel free to either drop a post below or DM with anything you'd like me to ask them.
Here's to Saturday. I think. 

Listening to Eric Steele on radio Derby...has he taken up the crack pipe of late?
I used to think he was excellent but I swear he's gone wrong since king Edward Rooney took over.

Post gardening reward beer. 

It’s never good to go down. But it won’t be the unmitigated disaster that some make out.
 
If the takeover doesn’t go through Mel won’t plunge us into administration. We’ll have less revenue but it isn’t the stark drop from premier league funding to championship, and whatever happens (providing things get vaguely back to normal ) our revenues will be higher next season than this season with fans back in stadiums and corporate facilities open again regardless of whether or not we are relegated. Only Sunderland could match or beat our revenues in league one, we would be a powerhouse at that level. 
We are 137 years old. In that time we’ve spent 5 seasons in the third division. Someone may correct me but have we ever been in the bottom division?  
It would’nt be easy necessarily as Leeds Forest and Sheff United and Wednesday can testify but we will find our level again which is a second division club as a minimum. 
Hull sold their 2 best players plunged to relegation with a hopeless squad and owners who will no longer put any money in. They will be back in the championship at the first attempt. No reason why we can’t.

It's match preview podcast time! Derby badly need a win. So do Blackburn who have only one win in their last 15 games. We spoke with Rovers Chat to discuss the match, Rovers poor form and who to look out for on Friday. We also spoke about ownership and creating a sustainable business and footballing model and gave some predictions.
Listen Here: Blackburn v Derby preview podcast 
As always, let me know your thoughts on the podcast and who thoughts on the match in general.
Hope everyone is doing well!

I had this at the weekend and it's the best Pale ale I've tasted. 
It was part of a mixed box selection so only had one unfortunately. 
Highly recommended. 

It's Bristol City preview podcast time! We are joined by the Bristol City pod, BS3 Talk and the Second Tier Podcast to discuss Saturday's game! We find out what is going on with Diédhiou and his contract, is promotion the aim? Is Dean Holden the right man for the job? Who are the key men? The Robins goalkeeper kit and a score prediction!

Was delicious except for the near perfect skeleton of a water vole trying to sneak it's way into my esophagus.
