0-0 Just to take it to the last game of the season. It's the Derby Way

The animated one for Thatcher's cider where they reckon the boss man tastes the ghastly stuff every Friday at 12:30 to make sure it's good enough to be sold. Every Friday? even Bank Holidays and Christmas? If that was the case surely he'd have a nose like Karl Malden?

4 points is a politically expedient punishment for the EPL to hand out. If it had been 6 points or more then Forest would have undoubtedly fought it and the whole saga would have dragged on towards the end of the season which is not in the EPL's best interests. 4 points gives the teams around/below Forest a chance (albeit a slight one given their current form and remaining fixtures) of finishing above Forest. Should one or more of those teams go on a great run and finish above Forest buy a comfortable margin, then should Forest subsequently complain the EPL can say that they should have appealed the original 4 point deduction at the time. Should one or more of those teams finish above Forest by only one/two points or on goal difference then the EPL have the option of reducing the original 4 point deduction to 2 points thus avoiding further appeals/legal action from Forest and also closing the door on any club relegated instead.

IMO overcrowded trains are more of a issue than cost. If East Midlands Railway spent less money on their stupid TV adverts featuring that annoying purple t**t "Miles" and more on putting on extra carriages on their Saturday services it would be a start 😡

Off to Pet Needs new album launch gig at the Rescue Rooms, Notts this evening.

Does this managerial move mean that European qualification is back on? Asking for a delusional Greek chap 😀

Bar Stool Preachers at Leicester O2 Acadamy tonight will be probably my final gig of 2023 as Orient away has put paid to seeing Gogol Bordello at Rock City tomorrow.

Having won there last season and knowing how consistently inconsistent Derby are I'm going for 1-1 tonight. RGS Collins

Going to the pub on the way home from Nottingham station for a couple of celebratory pints whilst watching the dejected Forest fans reflecting on their latest defeat.

Just the two gigs this week. Saturday - Headsticks: Rough Trade, Nottingham Sunday - Unknown Era (Fundraiser and Memorial gig for Darren Blair): The Old Cold Store, Nottingham

That was my favourite as well, but don't forget the ballions, B4 was very passionate about the ballions (black and white ones obviously, never, ever any pink ones)

Such very sad news. I never met B4 however his unbounded enthusiasm, passion and loyalty to the club was a inspiration to so many Rams fans, even an old cynic like me. Rest easy B4.

Tickets sorted today for next year’s Beautiful Days 😀

Team full of cowards, nobody willing to put themselves on the line for the club. 😡

Busy week coming up Wednesday - Funke & The Two Tone Baby: Yellow Arch Studios, Sheffield Thursday - Black Water County: Rescue Rooms, Nottingham Friday - Holy Moly & The Crackers: Metronome, Nottingham Saturday - Jake Martin: Rough Trade, Nottingham
