  1. I normally get an excellent quality, but it is true that on Saturday the picture was a bit blurry.
  2. Don't think I'll be able to manage it
  3. No, I personally wouldn't replace Cashin next season, but I would replace Nelson (although he has been excellent this season and possibly my player of the season). As I said, ALL players are replaceable, but we can only do it within our (real) financial restrictions. I don't doubt for a secon that if Pep felt that he could replace Haaland with someone better then he would do. He also buys squad players, but those players are costing him what, 50 million quid? We aren't able to spend even a tenth of that sum on the whole squad, but we certainly should be replacing current players with better.
  4. For me Man City are the worst club you can compare us to. They're one of the best teams in the world. We're a third division club, with third division players. We should be looking to improve on ALL of players. Obviously there should be priorities, but there isn't one player who couldn't be improved upon.
  5. Perhaps if we are already up by the last home game he could wear a Mexican hat? Has anyone got any spare ones? Someone should let him know. cough @Mucker1884 cough
  6. I agree with your first paragraph, but only when you're in the position Pep is in should your second paragraph apply. As I have quoted many times - King Arthur Cox, "I was looking for Ted McMinn's replacement 5 minutes after he signed for me"* You should ALWAYS be looking to buy better than what you already have. What you have then becomes your reserve player (yes, I know, you also need to keep those now reserve players happy). *contextual
  7. Although I agree with you, I will only say that it is less "Hollywood", which can't be bad.
  8. I can't help thinking that if it had been the opposite and Bird had signed a new contract and Cashin been sold and loaned back, then the reaction of a very vocal few would have been very different. I admit, I find it a strange operation all round considering Bristol apparently have been trying for a while to get the signing done. Surely it could have been moved on quickly, giving us a chance to sign a striker? With the deal that we have come to it is obvious that Bristol really wanted to sign Bird now rather than wait until the summer, or they could have just waited and if needs be increased his wages to get him to sign. Anyway, thanks Max for all you've given to the club. Thanks for sticking with us when others took what looked like the easy way out. Now show the idiot element what you feel for this club and help us get promotion.
  9. I take it that paddle is not very popular in England, with someone who works in and possibly lives near Stoke having to go to Derby to get a game? I have probably 100 courts within a 20 mile radius, and that's probably guessing on the low side. I've played a few times, but I don't really like tennis and don't enjoy it as much as squash. Anyway, this Dwight Gayle fella, is he any good and are we going to sign him? What do our main stalkers think?
  10. We (or at least someone) had to pay a small amount to Alzira CF when we signed Albentosa.
  11. But that doesn't mean that they are restrictions that Derby wouldn't be willing to exceed. Hopefully we will be sensibly run, but our current restrictions may be the absolute maximum that the EFL allow.
  12. I was really looking forward to seeing this, but you're dead right about the acting. I thought that Austin Butler was excellent as Elvis, but here he's just doesn't shine. He's still one of the most convincing however. It also seems very anti-English at the moment, but perhaps we'll come riding in like the 5th Cavalry later on to save the American bombers and we'll all be best friends.
  13. So a team in the third division that hasn't got two pennies to rub together loses out to a team pushing for promotion from the second and probably with a sack load of wonga. Who'da thunkt it!
  14. It was absolutely bonkers when we scored the first. The whole ground erupted, with just small pockets here and there that didn't move. The Forest fans to our left who had been giving it the big'un until then soon skulked away.
  15. Doesn't auto spell predict what you want to put through your past usage? 😉
  16. At least they'll use the soap in the prison. Some on here go straight in!
  17. Don't eat cheese before you go to bed.
  18. I don't think that he's going to go on a podcast and say that he had presented a list with x, y and z on it but Paul Warne said "nah, I think I'll sign so and so instead because he's available and played for me once ".
  19. You're Igor Stimac 😱
  20. I knew that we signed him from Sunderland around that time and also that from us he went to Wolves. I had no idea where he had gone after that either as a player or coach. It was years after his death that I heard about it. Very sad news. Not fantastically gifted as a footballer but with the heart of an ox. A true leader, and in my eyes a Rams legend.
