  1. It’s been a year and half now since I posted this announcement, we are set to make a change to email address logins this summer when the forum will undergo a makeover. Make sure your email addresses are up to date, otherwise you will find yourself locked out of your account!
  2. Let’s not complicate things here by adding extra letters, it’s simple for a simple person
  3. Given I posted mine and you haven’t, looks like you agree with me. It’s ok to look up to me as a role model, you could choose a lot worse.
  4. Curtis Nelson 10/10 Callum Elder 4/10 Joe Ward 8/10 Sonny Bradley 7/10 Josh Vickers 7/10 Kane Wilson 8/10 Martyn Waghorn 2/10 Conor Washington 3/10 Tyrese Fornah 2/10 Elliot Embleton 1/10 Ryan Nyambe 8/10 Tyreece John-Jules 5/10 Winter: Ebou Adams 10/10 Dwight Gayle 9/10 Corey Blackett-Taylor 6/10 Max Bird* 7/10 Based on this season only, not potential going forward. Injured players suffered a rating drop which Gayle avoids due to the impact in the short space of time was pivotal to keeping us in the race.
  5. The Overlap, should start at the Forest discussion.....if it doesn't skip to 27 minutes in and they play that Steve Cook John Moss speech video 😂
  6. Just got in, opened Instagram, top post he’s at another gig. Most active pensioner going 😂
  7. I had hair back then. I added the o to make it sound more cool.
  8. I hope they walk away with nothing but a large legal expenses bill to pay. Telling me they've looked at the Premier League games and said, if Sala had played we would have scored there and won the game. This is even worse than the xG stat. Without looking, I'm guessing the Cardiff fans are embarrassed and ashamed by this, unbelievable stuff by another wrong's in the game.
  9. Happy Birthday, good luck getting 68 candles in a cake, will have to turn the smoke alarms off if you manage it!
  10. Following you on Instagram, I find it hard to believe you work full time on top of the social life and travelling you do! Always a hotel, festival, gig or something going on, can’t see you being a feet up and slippers on kinda guy that’s for sure.
  11. It’s time to change my username. There is only one David round here and it ain’t me. David Break that into 2, Day vid Keep it short, Day Why not Dave? I hate it. Hope that explains that.
  12. I hear you, yet I still refuse to believe that we will lose to Carlisle. It's not impossible that can come back to haunt me like many posts have, remove all bias, looking at the situation as a team A and team B, no way anyone will be expecting team A to lose this.
  13. Glad someone else has noticed this. What Peterborough and Bolton do should be completely irrelevant.

    Paul Warne

    It's part of it, the size depends on the club. Look at Stoke City under Pulis, had him for 3 years and went back to him for another 7. Some fanbases are more tolerant with regards to where entertainment matters compared to overs. It's hard to really point to where we are as I'm 42 now, the Jim Smith tenure, under Burley and the McClaren years are the only seasons where you could sit and say, that's lovely that is, forget the cup, this football is giving me a semi. Lampard at a push if we're just trying not to be too critical. To think we've had Brown, Davies, Clough, Pearson, Rowett, Clement and I'm sorry but I'll say it, Cocu, that's a decade right there of pretty turgid stuff if we're looking at it through neutral eyes. I just don't have that we have a history of being entertaining, this isn't entertaining and that matters to me inside. Its been more of a mixed bag with some highs and lows, no real consistency or exceptions so I'm just in this place of wanting to win and be back to pushing for a European place as we did under Jim Smith, seeing Derby in Europe, not pre season is the ultimate ambition I have for this club. I know it's a long shot and would be a UEFA Conference League or whatever they call it now, but Pride Park, Derby v Leverkusen, how good would that be? If Phil Brown could guarantee that, I'd say bring the orange crispy face bloke back.

    Paul Warne

    You didn't ask me, although my answer would be it depends who you are asking. Ask fans, it's entertainment but also a release from everyday life, supporting professionals in their journey for success. With that, you develop an emotional attachment, a sense of belonging. It's nice feeling, it's not they won, it's we won and it's not a feeling everybody gets to experience outside of football. It's something to look forward to at the end of the week. However the professionals are simply out to win, as winning brings financial rewards, career progression which in turn brings bigger financial rewards. It's why you see managers now that would rather go out and spend for the here and now as very rarely are they given a chance to bring youngsters through. Paul Warne won't honestly care where this club is in 10 years, if Liverpool came knocking tomorrow he would be off and you wouldn't blame him. His career, his wealth, his family, he owes us nothing. However managers live and die by their results, no manager will avoid receiving his P45 losing 5-0 but did you see the rush keeper doing Cruyff turns. So yeah, it really depends on who you are asking and there is a balance to be had, it's harder to strike that balance outside of the financial possibilities the elite clubs have, the ability of the professionals decreases rapidly the further down you go. Where you have a player like Beckham that could stick the ball on your door bell from 50 yards away, we're working with players that would find it difficult to hit the same house. David Clowes I would imagine wants to win, see a return on his investment, however will be fully aware that outside of the Premier League ticket sales account for a large chunk of the clubs revenue, being the clubs "customers" and I hate calling us that, it's a business though, he needs to ensure we find value in the ticket price. If I continue, I'll be here all day and way off the actual question.
  16. Taking that to update the topic title as again. Could be the longest topic ever by the end of the season.
  17. An attempt to distance themselves from the suggestion that corruption is at play, whilst maintaining no official should be a rival fan. Feels like the backtracking has begun following the shitstorm it’s created.
  18. I feel like we’re all having a moment here, coming together as one. It’s beautiful, brings a tear to my eye.
  19. Regardless of result on Saturday, I will always be here to abuse you 😘
