  1. It won't be for everyone, but I really liked it. It certainly throws a cat amongst the pigeons. I'll not say more until others have had a chance to watch it.
  2. Can't believe this one slipped by unnoticed πŸ˜‚
  3. Check out Dopesick if you've not already. It's also very good. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9174558/
  4. Sorry to hear of your loss Ramant. I think this is the group that @NottsRam was referring to. The first link is for the club themselves and the second a Facebook page where you can also connect with members. https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/derbycountywestcountrysupportersclub https://www.facebook.com/DerbyCountyWestCountryBranch/?locale=ms_MY&paipv=0&eav=AfbT6wr4TSkyn4s2ktSzfMYohPx5nSFsCtY-y7VlyRfUrVe7IrdS06sh1m5HvPmzt8A&_rdr
  5. Me neither. I never wanted him in the first place, but having dumped a guy who offered continuity, I just didn't fancy another leap into the unknown so early in the season and neither, it would seem, did Mr Clowes. That said, I do feel encouraged about our prospects this year, given the recent upturn in form and after some difficult years for the club and fans alike, I intend to take as much pleasure and enjoyment from the good the runs as I can. I have some longer term doubts, but I'll worry about promotion from the Championship when we get there.
  6. My bad, dormant, not dissolved since 2020. To answer your query, here's the last two filings from Gellaw 101. It seems unequivocal. So again, how can a dissolved company retain ownership of Pride Park? Have I searched the wrong firm?
  7. Yeah, @jono is well known for his nasty streak. Those of us who know him and the things of which he is capable, always refer to him as, Mr Big Nasty, more out of fear than respect and I'd strongly advise you to do the same. Word to the wise, in a moment of temporary insanity, I once had the temerity to enquire of him why folk used this moniker; with a grin so deeply malevolent that it froze the blood right there in my veins, he replied, 'because my nastiness is BIG' 😱
  8. Find that hard to believe since it was dissolved in 2020. Is this another 'Kevfact'? You just seem to be making stuff up and it's all getting a bit weird now πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
  9. It's like the rise of Skynet, only the machines aren't trying to wipe out humanity, they're trying to make Musk look a massive t*** πŸ˜‚
  10. Can you hear that? That's the noise of Grok's lead engineers, packing up their desks and heading for the exit. Publicly, he'll try to laugh it off, but you just know how much this will actually infuriate him. God I'd love to be a fly on the wall for the resulting zoom meeting. I'd mute the mic obvs πŸ˜‚
  11. I'll have a listen again, but what you've written above does not imply he bought the club to 'shore up' the stadium value, only that in buying the club, the value of the stadium was 'shored up' as you put it. That's rather different to stating categorically that he ONLY bought the club to protect the value of his stadium investment, which I think is a somewhat disparaging and unfair observation.
  12. Racing 92 not Toulouse - sorry if any of you were looking for the game using the wrong info! πŸ€ͺ Here's some short highlights with Marcus Smith playing an absolute blinder:
  13. 1 win from their last 12 league outings LMFAO. It's staggering that they can spend as much as they have and still be absolutely gash. At this point, I think only Sheffield, Burnley are worse than this gumps roster as Luton are now showing enough fight to close the gap. Everton will go past Forest like a knife through butter, so make no mistake, this gumptard shower of shoyte could well be bang in it if they don't get the big lummox back soon, as he appears their only significant goal threat.
  14. Only caught the highlights, but those were some hateful body shots from Billam-Smith. Masternak has apparently got broken ribs 😱
  15. Absolute nonsense. The terms happy-clappers, blind-faithers, deluded, fanbois, et al are literally all over the forum.
  16. I think 'pro-Warne' is a misnomer. I think most who have remained supportive, did so because they felt another change in manager was setting the club up for another yet more time wasted on the merry-go-round and also that the team's form was not so awful that he warranted sacking anyway. I think very few have blindly followed Warne, but rather have simply stuck with him and it's nice to see some return for their patience, with the lads performing better and the forum less fighty. Steady improvement and some consistency obviously makes it a deal easier to retain faith than it has been for much of the first half of the season, but I'm not sure I've seen anyone doing victory laps, to be fair, which is to their credit after some of the nonsense we've seen levelled at them.
  17. Not seen the fight, but will have a peep this evening. Not a fan of Haney at all, with all the stupid s*** he comes out with, but I did think he'd have too much for Prograis. I want to see him fight Loma again. I still think the Ukrainian is the superior fighter.
  18. 1Wildsmith - 7.0 how many clean sheets is that in the last 10? Not always had much to do but does what he needs to dependably 23Ward - 6.0 Understandably looks a little rusty 7 Barkhuizen - 6.5 Will be popping Nate on his Christmas card list, so badly did he need a goal. Confidence boost perhaps? I hope so as he's a decent squad player when on it and he's not been for a little while now 35Nelson - 7.5 Loving our defence right now and this lad is a hefty part of the reason why 6Cashin - 6.5 not his best game, but tidy enough 3Forsyth - 7.0 Man crush 4Hourihane - 8.0 Best game in a while. When you see him passing the ball the way he did yesterday, you wonder why he doesn't do it more often, but with the team committing more players forward, perhaps he'll prosper 22Fornah - 6.5 - Solid enough cameo 2Wilson - 8.0 - He and Nate the standouts for me. Close control to die for and he gets folk on their feet every time he runs at a player. A cracking signing. 17Sibley - 7.0 - Quietly effective, but that goal! Has to deliver consistency but perhaps netting will give him the confidence to do so. He's a very talented lad. 5Bradley - 6.5 - See 'Fornah' 8Bird - 7.0 Lad's a Rolls Royce. Not his strongest outing, but some of his passing was excellent and he looks in prime form 11MΓ©ndez-Laing - 9.0 the heartbeat of the side right now. Takes the ball on the turn and looks to trouble defenders every time. Putting Barks in for goal when he'd likely have netted himself shows he's very much about the team and he's in the form of his life right now. 39Brown - 6.5 - Got a run out but little chance to shine. Was busting a gut to get forward though so he gets a half over the median from me 9Collins - 5.5 Horrid day for Collo. Missed a couple that were easier to score, then took a nasty cheap shot right in the face. Worked very hard, but this was an outing to forget in all other regards. 19John-Jules - 6.5 Very unlucky not to maintain his super-sub streak. This lad brings some real pace to side and seems to strike the ball sweetly with almost no back lift. I think he'll score plenty in this league assuming we keep hold of him. Warne Watch: Another good day at the office. On another day, we might well have conceded, but generally speaking, he has sorted out a defence that looked quite porous and we're also now seeing some style and understanding from the attacking players. I also think this is probably the fittest Derby side I've seen in yonks. Six players charging up the pitch with only minutes to go and the game already well won is really quite noteworthy.
  19. They're completely different players so comparing goal output is an irrelevant distraction. Both lads are highly talented, they just do different things.
