Do what I do. Buy something, anything, ang give him the receipt. He can then buy whatever he really likes. Works with my wife anyway.

Apparently, he's been mentioned for the Birmingham job, if Mowbray doesn't return. But, I can't see him wanting to drop down a division and Rooney couldn't get them to play a similar style to LR.

I think that we are finding out that Rooney would struggle to get a team to play tiddlywinks to any style.

Around that figure, yes. However, most of it is land, buildings, a football stadium, plant and machinery etc. Little of it is liquid assets.

He has been consistent in saying the club will be sustainable and self sufficient. That means he's not going to pump cash into the club. DCFC will spend what DCFC earns and little or no more. I find it amazing some fans seem to think otherwise.

Both the aim and the hope for 24/25 will be promotion. Reality s likely to be somewhere between P12 and P21 depending on how recruitment goes.

So we need someone with lots of liquid assets? @Eddie, your time has come!

It's good to see that Carlton Palmer is still getting into the squad.

Sure but in todays game anything less than 6ft 2 is going to be easily exposed .

I don't get this. Physical build/strength certainly are important. However, assuming it's not one of Snow White's mates in goal a few inches in height shouldn't make any difference. Standing still the keeper's hands surely reach higher than even Peter Crouch's head. Assuming the two can jump to the same height then the keeper should be able to reach higher than the striker.

Fun fact: Can’t find much info about him! Was with The Rams for five years. 

Paul Emson. Bloody quick, also pretty bloody rubbish. As a 15 year old I loved him, but in later years I realised that just because he was quick didn't make him a footballer.

What is this 'run' you speak of?

I'm sat where the players come out with @Eddie and the Memsahib

@Eddie and the Memsahib accompany the players onto the pitch? Or do the players actually "come out" whilst @Eddie and the Memsahib sit around in full Rocky Horror Show regalia?

Brian Attley, although not a world beater, at least put the effort in. I actually quite liked him. Wasn't he part of the back room staff not too long ago? I seem to remember him being interviewed by Colin Gibson in the "RamsTV Meets" episodes.

The other one.....

Ghurch Greasly is much nicer than Alicante.

Alicante has more sun, but the scenery is definitely better in Church Gresly.

Having spent £5m...

...as opposed to having spent £250,000,000 (two hundred and fifty million pounds) and finish 17th with a record lowest points to avoid relegation.

I like the banter with @Red_Dawn, but it would be nice if he could admit that for the money they've spent they really should be doing much much better. We are rightly remembered as the worst team in Premier League history however the record books will not show relative spend of clubs and expectations of fans. I think we all knew that we would struggle. Forest fans were expecting a serious push for Europe.

Not a chant as such, but my old mate Malc had wonderful insults for referees.

My favourite was "May your sons and daughters walk sideways - like crabs"

I remember a bloke on the Popside in a break in the game shouting at Mark Wallington "Wally, you've got a head like a gooseberry!". Wally cracked up laughing and applauded the bloke.

That decision to allow us to carry on... "Carry on, he said"... whilst poor old 11 man Forest had a man down with a self-induced hurty-knee was diabolical.  Wardy should never have been allowed to take the piss like he did!

They should have had an un-challenged drop ball mid way into our half, and a straight red for Young Nigel, for egging us on, and only making things worse!

Probably.

I would love to go. I thought that I would have problems with work, but I've checked and I'm on holiday when they play. I shall have to confirm nearer the time, but I shall definitely try.

How anyone ( @sage for now) can say that wasn't a penalty needs to rethink. Nailed on penalty for me. It was before the direct red for a professional foul, so the defender had to stay on. The referee warned before the free kick that he would be looking for any pushing or holding in the wall. Their player virtually body slams Davison to the floor (ok that last bit I've exaggerated a bit) and the ref immediately blows for the penalty. That's the way I saw it at the time, and nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

No doubt at least one of Sunderland, Norwich, West Brom, Sheff Wed, Blackburn, Middlesbrough, Sheff Utd, Bristol City, Swansea or Cardiff will sack their manager in the next 6 months and will look at Rosenior as a top option.
