Day

Whilst acknowledge it's not impossible to win 16 games straight, the probability of that, isn't that great for any of the top sides. I'm not switching sides here, don't worry. I still think we'll finish 2nd as a prediction.

There is jealousy over wealth and social status, absolutely there is. I just don't have any within me. We're on a football forum, spending our free time following and discussing a bunch of players that earn more in a month than many of us will in a year. We're making that choice. We're going to work, some on minimum wage or slightly above, paying taxes, then using what's left over to buy tickets to watch these players kick a leather bag of air about. If I had that jealousy within me, I'm not sure how I could justify being not just a Derby County fan, but a football fan.

Which is never accounted for with those that prefer to view the world of Derby County under dark clouds. Wasn't long ago where we were being told there isn't enough time now to catch the front runners yet here we are, Wednesday morning needing only to better Portsmouth in one game and win the game in hand, top 2 is then in our own hands. Absolutely no reason why any Derby fan can't just sit and enjoy the rest of the season, whilst not mathematically there, play off place barring an absolute disaster looks secure which means we have a real chance of promotion. Realistically that's all you can wish for, that chance. Anyone demanding promotion, will be the ones viewing the club under the dark clouds, which is their own personal choice. Paul Warne is crap, can't sign decent players, has no pull, look at the crap he's signed. Lose a game with said crap team, my next-door neighbour could get this squad promoted, we should be running away with the league. Which is it? Anyhow, we will lose another game and the Out Out will rise from the pages, highlighting the pain and suffering we are going through. I watched Saturday's game via Charlton TV, their co commentator had a cheeky pop at Derby fans complaining and how hard life must be in 4th (at the time). We must, and I say we as a bundled in Derby County fan must look a bit bonkers from the outside world.

Saying that, I know, but I don't know why this topic has descended into an NHS topic. Royalist or not, surely we can all understand why the King of the country would receive priority health care unlike our own friends and family? Having lost my sister in law recently to cancer, just 42 years old, I am not sat here without experience of watching someone die having been through the NHS system, months of appointments, misdiagnosis before they realised it was cancer and then left cancer cells in her kidney which spread to the rest of her body. She wasn't royalty, she wasn't the Queen of the country, her death whilst making front page news of the local paper, was not a national story. She was just a regular person that unfortunately due to mistakes lost her life, as many have and will continue to do so. King Charles, for the record I am no royalist, never watched a wedding, ceremony, couldn't even tell you the full words to the national anthem. He's the King, it's blindly obvious why his health would take priority, avoiding the regular process which all starts being on hold at 8am trying to get a doctors appointment. He's the King, figurehead of the country. He's probably never had to load a dishwasher, wash his own clothes or hoover his own living room. Do I believe anyone should be born into that position, no, but the hierarchy in this country exists and it is what it is. The state of the NHS is another topic in itself, which in fairness due to our political rules on this forum probably can't take place as we ultimately know why all the difficulties exist and with a growing population, will only get worse. The King of the country has got cancer though, that's the big story here. I wish him well and catching it early means the treatment will work.

Same here as well, also get a text from the chemist to say when it's ready. Usually around a week, although I could go in a couple days later and ask for it, then wait. There is even a service which if you're over a certain age they will deliver to your door. I think Lloyds is one that offer an online service as well and post via Royal Mail special delivery. The NHS app is pretty decent to be fair, can us it to bring up all medical history, contact the doctors via messages for non important issues. Prior to that I used some website, can't remember the name, was a bit of a mess but it worked. Never had to go into the doctors to fill any forms out.

Would love one more challenge whenever that maybe after completing promotion here. So yeah, if we go up, he will leave in the summer when his contract expires. If not, I assume he would be interested in staying to have another crack at it, if Warne wants him.

Exactly. I mean come on, who would seriously oust a manager whilst 2nd in the table.....only the wife of a football manager looking for work and doesn't fancy living up in Aberdeen.

I’ve always this idea in my head that@RoyMac5 is Sharon Warnock.

We won on Saturday with him there.

Getting my Mrs a doorstop this year.

Think he might have tried to join here under the same username a while back, assumed it was a Forest troll and never approved it. Ooops.

Shouldn’t have mentioned the Brunswick, would have had your feet under the desk by now

Cut his foot, camera showed his sock had a load of blood. Be stitches at worse and away he goes. Can’t imagine him missing any game time.

Thanks and yeah we’re getting there with social services and fostering, edging closer to completion. The Mrs has her personal assessment next, just done mine where they build your autobiography. Couple more after together. 3 more Solihull parental course sessions and we’re off to panel. All pointing towards being approved as foster parents as the backup plan, with the SGO order being plan A. The boys are great, settled right in and now pushing the boundaries to see what they can get away with 😂 Been a real into the deep end with a 2 and 3 year old with no parental experience. We’re doing alright though, they are happy, healthy and heading in the right direction.

Manager of the month trophy. He’s seen fans trying to take Collins goals away from him and I’m guessing his thinking is, you can’t take this away from me.

I wish

Not seen the clip, just the photo of the gash

Mbappe missed a penalty tonight. The Mbappe. But let’s remove Collins penalties hey….

Tbf it’s wide open cut right above the eye. Not sure if you’ve seen pictures but to heal in 2 weeks would be tough going.

If we get a couple of hours I would be impressed.

Exactly. If penalties were easy, forget saved, no player would ever miss the target. Yet…. We’ve simply reached the depths where to maintain the criticism of Collins, goals will be removed until only goals from 30 yards out in the top bin which proves how useless he is.

Reached this post and yeah, that’s the thought here. No need to read on. Lads out of contract, wants out and we get a fee, great. That loan though, could turn nasty as he’s been getting some pelters already. Bird and Knight was the midfield 2 I wanted to see, if I’m honest though, Knight felt a bigger loss. That’s not to say it’s always a bit sad to see an academy player leave. We’ll move on though.
