  1. I was only joking, hard getting down to Derby now with the kids
  2. We would have won had Madley reffed the game. Won 5, lost 4 and drew 1 with him in charge, what did you do that for 😂
  3. My birthday on Monday, so if anyone wants to buy me one as well, that would be a lovely present. Thanks in advance.
  4. Just a reminder of the forum guidelines all members will have agreed to. https://dcfcfans.uk/guidelines
  5. Dani Alves trial: Ex-Brazil player guilty of nightclub rape https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-68368372
  6. Explains why you can afford all these away games though, pensioner specials! 😂
  7. Wanna feel old? Hendrick is now 32.
  8. Her account was restored, however no comment on this at all from Elon. Unsurprising.
  9. Time for a new notebook for you then!
  10. Mbappe fits your criteria.
  11. Am I right in saying it was submitted to the EFL on Friday, and it's only Monday dinner time now? I don't think the EFL's refusal to open the offices over the weekend to go through paperwork is something we should be taking personally. When you spend your weekend on forums and social media, I can see how it feels like a long time, but in reality it's not. If we get to midweek and nothing, then yeah, start to question why the hold up, until then, just relax. I wouldn't be surprised if he's at Moor Farm today with the rest of the players, integrating himself, how often do we see pictures of new signings that have been training all day prior to announcements.
  12. His career progression, or lack of it, has been frustrating. When you look at total minutes on the pitch in competitive first team football for us, compared to Jason Knight and Max Bird who are all similar ages, you have to ask why. Sibley 7962 Knight 12,148 Bird 14,695 The lad has unquestionable potential, still relatively young at just 22, he's fallen victim of failing to nail down a position in the team and used to plug gaps as Jason Knight did, however unlike Knight he's not really proving his worth when given the brief opportunities all over the pitch. Not everyone will have the workrate of Jason Knight, can't hold that against him, but we see these cameos, rewarded with a start and he's just flat. Not the player we know he can be. Sibley needs to ask some serious questions of Warne and ask where exactly does he fit in this team for his own career. What is his position and what is his role, I wouldn't even get to the point of talking about wages and length of contract unless he's given an answer which he feels is honest and can see a future at the club. I wouldn't be surprised to see him walk. His mates Knight and Bird down Bristol, he's the only one left and that must feel like being the kid at school being left till last to be picked. I bet you he values himself as good, if not better than those two and it will sting.
  13. 18 1+8=9 Bet you never knew I was this clever.
  14. He’s a free agent, and with Collins out he would be a guaranteed starter.
  15. I'm glad you posted that video, I had no idea what a back heel pass was.
  16. We will be winners today regardless of the score. Having this bloke only ever sat in the opposition dugout and not the home team at Pride Park is a win.
  17. Another article to back this up https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/feb/15/x-paid-post-promotion-advertising Worth also looking into the Mr Beast and Elon Musk interaction which subsequently led to a quarter of a million dollar payout on the video he posted. His site, can do what he likes. I miss Twitter.
  18. I liked it as well, decided against sharing it in the Warne topic though, just didn't seem worth it. Comes across as really open and honest, I really find it hard not to like the bloke on a personal level from all the content we're given to base our opinions on. Just one of those people I think would be good to have a pint with and get things off your chest to.
  19. To be fair, these are Barkhuizen's games/positions played over his career. Playing him up top wouldn't be the same as Dean Moxey.
  20. I’ve had a think about this, opened myself up to the counter arguments and I’ve come to the conclusion I am still correct. It’s a nonsense stat. However I would concede that rebranding it as chances created cC, or even opportunities, I would have less issues with it. This idea that a player is in this position on the pitch, he’s “expected” to score is as I say nonsense and disrespectful to defenders and keepers. Now if you’re telling me, that having a player in this position on the pitch has a chance/opportunity to take a shot and score, absolutely I can buy into that. Look at a penalty, dead ball situation with a 1 on 1, great chance/opportunity to score, however I watched Mbappe have a penalty save the other day. Didn’t take it. That’s football. The X is terrible branding, as it is for the rebranding of Twitter. Also, as a stat, you shouldn’t have variations depending on what website you’re reading.
