As I woke up tired and hungover this morning, I had a thought. While it's always great hearing stories about the glory days of the 70s, the iconic 80s and the fun 90s, there's a whole generation of Derby fans who have only ever known disappointment. I myself had my first season ticket in the 2006/07 Billy Davies season, but I was too young to properly appreciate it.
Since then, it's been a mix of hope, heartbreak and 'nearly' moments. Our generation of supporters have witnessed other clubs' fans celebrating siuccess (sometimes at our expense), but we find it difficult to fathom what it would actually feel like for Derby to ever get over the line.
Yesterday, as I walked back back to the bus with my arm round my mate's shoulder, belting Derby songs at the top of our voices, I had the first taste of what it might feel like to experience success as a Derby fan. This morning, I started making preparations for post-game jaegerbombs and cigars next weekend. And thinking about how I'll be raising a glass to the lad that we all miss. 
We're not over the line yet. But I'm well into dreaming territory. And for us fans who aren't old enough to know glory, it's going to be oh so sweet.
Up the Rams.

This is why I suspect he doesn't really 'enjoy' being Derby manager. More pressure, more expectations, less patience. Comes with the territory of managing a good sized club. His whole personality and setup just seems geared towards a club punching above it's weight, not a club expecting more than it currently has.

For me go with a 433 formation, our wingbacks did nothing yestetday, and go with 2 widemen
                  Wildsmith
Nyambe.    Nelson.     Cashin.  Elder
                      Adams
                Bird.               Hourihane 
CBT.               Collins.       NML. 
This team will bring the 3points home. 
All those who are going roar us onto victory, great following, hope you all have a great away day.

I've been thinking about this for a while, stolen from Hibs but I think it fits pretty well and describes our gratitude to Mr Clowes. I have changed the words slightly in the first few verses but it still needs work on the chorus and remaining  verses.

My heart was broken
My club was broken
Sorrow, sorrow
Sorrow, sorrow
My heart was broken
My club was broken
You saw it, you claimed it
You bought it, you saved it
My tears are drying
My tears are drying
Thank you, thank you
Thank you, thank you
My tears are drying
My tears are drying
Your beauty and kindness
Made tears clear my blindness
While I'm worth
My room on this Earth
I will be with you
While the Chief
Puts sunshine on Leith
I'll thank Him
For His work
And your birth
And my birth
Yeah, yeah, yeah
My heart was broken
My heart was broken
Sorrow, sorrow
Sorrow, sorrow
My heart was broken
My heart was broken
You saw it, you claimed it
You touched it, you saved it
While I'm worth
My room on this Earth
I will be with you
While the Chief
Puts sunshine on Leith
I'll thank Him
For His work
And your birth
And my birth
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So Magicman, I was just wondering about your wizardry and whether you could make yourself dissappear?

I've linked an article below. It's apparently 'breaking news' that a 17 year old footballer has come out as gay. Fair play to him for being open and honest about who he is,but how is this even still a thing to have a stigma about in this day and age? Hopefully this is the start of it being normalised in the football world

Is anyone ‘pleasantly surprised’ at how quickly this has moved forward?

14 games ago we were 17 points behind Reading, we have caught up by 9 points over those 14 games. If we can do the same over the next 14 games we will finish 1 point above them.

We’re really not going to score, are we. 

I totally agree, there are too many smoggies on there giving red thumbs to comments supporting the article. We need to turn the tide.
