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.
Just got in, opened Instagram, top post he’s at another gig. Most active pensioner going 😂

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.

3 more days for me and then I'm done; giving it all up at 58 so a fair few years early.
Any tips and advice from those that have done it? I've worked full time since I was 16 so I know it's going to be life changing but unsure what to expect!

Are you new?. 😉
When have we ever done stuff the easy way?
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.

None of this means diddly.
It's in our hands, we're at home, we need a point against bottom of the league
Glad someone else has noticed this.
What Peterborough and Bolton do should be completely irrelevant.

Fair points - but you admit in your second sentence there but, for fans, entertainment is a big part of it.
So why are people struggling to grasp the idea that some people do not enjoy the way we play under Warne?
I appreciate as well as anyone that football is a game of opinions but once again people on this forum are getting absolute pelters because they don't rate Warne or don't like the style of football. I feel a little bit like @Bris Vegascould type "we should sign some players" and the pitchforks would come out 😂
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.

What do you think competitive sport is?
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.

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.

I have just been thinking, I hope I haven't gone too early. I'm having horrible visions of being rinsed on Twitter by Forest fans, like @David was by Leeds a few years back (still my favourite day ever).
Regardless of result on Saturday, I will always be here to abuse you 😘

What trainers was he wearing?

Brutal for Coventry and their fans.
The feeling of turning round a 3-0 score line in 20 minutes, to then thinking you’ve won it at the death…..for the captain to go and Sky the penalty.
I’d be emotionally done in after that for the next week.
Man Utd players got to be feeling pretty embarrassed after that.
