Derby fans when we play it extensively around the back:
”wish we’d stop d*cking around with it at the back and get it forward quicker.”

Folks putting poor old Cocu on the list is very harsh.
Came in midway through pre season at some ridiculous training camp in the USA. Mel blew all his money on Bielik before he came in. Then Rooney came in, forcing Cocu to play him every week, Wayne breathing down his neck for the managers job if he failed. The team building incident. COVID striking whilst we was on an upward turn of form for a potential play off push. Had some cracking home game results under his tenure. COVID killed the momentum dead.
Then Mel clearly wanted to bail out. Gave him no backing whatsoever. Rooney piled on the pounds in the summer and was a complete liability for him. 
He has to be one of the most unlucky manager in our history. And then he walked away with far less compo then he was due. A good egg in my book.

Best managers
Cloughie - Legend
McKay - Won the title.
Smith - Amazing entertaining football, only matched by Schteve since.
Mac - Amazing all out attacking team, great to watch.
Cox - Div 1 Champions, had financial backing though....
Burley - Flowing attacking football, scuppered in Play-offs with key players injured.  Alledged off pitch activities saw and end to his reign, or he would of delivered PL football in my view.
Worst
Docherty - Destroyed a Title winning team.
Jewell - Clueless the players failt every week.
Pearson - Piss poor leader
Cocu Never adapted to Championship football....
Davies- Horrible man, remember his we'll see when we won playoffs, when stated a PL manager.  Followed by his, we will go many games without a win, not forgetting wasting £3m, signing Bambi on Ice.  The worst centre half ever to wear a Derby shirt, yes worse than Keogh!
Let's hope Warney makes the top 3 in years to come... 👍
 

We had this lad drop him, made him an honorary lifetime member of the Rams Heritage Trust.
Our saviour !
he loved it and we are going places ❤️

I think footballers need to jump with their hands tied behind their backs at this rate. That's one of the worst decisions I've seen in the VAR era

I was on the side of climate protestors for a long time. Over the past year or so, their tactics to promote their campaigns are getting very tedious and becoming a nuisance to people who might well be eco aware, however they're disrupting their daily lives. 
What grinds my gears more is the level of hypocrisy. This is from all sides. The oil/gas companies making huge profits from a humantiaran crisis in Ukraine. The same goes with supermarkets. All have exploited the situation, "followed the market" and made their shareholders very happy. And then you have climate protestors filming all their content on brand new phones made in China, a diet which has a bigger carbon footprint than a regular balanced diet, because the vast amounts of importing from their food. I can't get behind any of these groups. I feel like I can't stand all sides of the debate.
Having watched Clarksons Farm, besides the larking about, it raised genuine concerns about issues with buying local produce, lack of support for local farmers and the vast problems within the UK food industry. I wouldn't mind if the climate groups actually joined together with UK farmers to promote the benefits of buying food grown from our own shores. There must be a carbon footprint saving, rather than the constant streaming of imports. We save the planet and it's more money for farmers. But sadly I can't see this happening, because of the horrible lack of comprise we've seemingly have forgotten about.
I understand buying British food is more expensive, it does come at the price of a higher shopping bill. If many UK families stopped eating fast food once or twice a week, which is the current average, that would cover the additional expenses of having to buy more expensive local food. Also, if we are to be more sustainable, we need to go back to eating seasonally. I feel like the vast amount of choice is damaging us because we've become so lazy and we can pick whatever we want, whenever we want. I'm not an old fart either, I've only realised recently to becoming more conscious about my lifestyle and wanting to see future generations not struggling because of our stupid decisions.
Sacrifices need to be made at some point, a shame many of the stakeholders from all sides can't have a grown up debate to sit down and discuss what we go doing forward to save the planet.

How I'd sell Bielik at this point

It’s all very Nigel Clough. Be running round Allestree Park first week of July. 

Leeds fans getting their relegation suits ready

Like going after a big boss on a PlayStation game, trying to take him on and realising he's 10 levels higher than you.

Growing up, I really wanted to be a writer. I thought English and football were the only good "talents" I had in school. Nowadays I am finding myself spending more time outside and enjoying gardening in the summer. When you're working on screens all day for a job, going home and watching TV really doesn't excite me unless it's football.
Definitely would have my own plot of land, have a little shop selling food I've grown myself or from a local supplier. Only need a few million quid to get me going!
