    Never watched it at the time, but remember how widely acclaimed it was. Watched it a couple of years ago and was generally unimpressed compared to more recent dramas. We are used to dramas today with complex multi-layered plot lines and high production values. Life on Mars felt very dated by comparison.

    It should really make no difference to us, our task is simple. If we have to rely on others after losing at home to bottom of the league, then we wouldn’t deserve to go up after all.

    Think he's expecting Barnsley to limp into 5th and he'd rather have them then either Oxford or Lincoln who might be in better form.
    Resting players could go either way, and surrendering momentum, especially going into the playoffs, is never a clever idea really.

    therealhantsram got a reaction from David Graham Brown in Electric Vehicles   
    This is the key quote from the article I think. 
    "most legacy car makers, at least those that are bothering to make EVs at scale at all, are still focused on the top end of the market, selling premium and heavy and high cost EVs, largely to protect their ICE business. In the US, the major car makers are retreating rapidly on their EV plans."
    It's the likes of GM, Ford and Toyota who have most to lose here.

    I doubt the starting 11 will change unless there’s any injuries. The interesting calls might be on the bench if a few more are available.

    Can't it be a testament to all three of them? A testament to the whole defence, in fact the whole team including Wildsmith.

    I find it hypocritical of the EFL to allow Coventry twice the 11th hour to find a home ground to play at both Northampton and Birmingham just for the upcoming season but they can't allow Gateshead if hypothetically they got promoted (big chance they would not) let's say until the end of July to find a solution to their ground.

    Just seen the goal on Twitter. That’s a hell of a through ball by Sibs matched by a fabulous run by NML👏🐏

    I think the idea is that they'll be online/through NowTV/SkyQ and I think it is going to include L1/L2 games.
    What will probably happen is that currently at Saturday lunchtime there is a choice of either premier league on TNT or 1 championship game on sky. What'll happen is that you'll be left for a choice of a premier league game on TNT or a choice of a few EFL games on at lunchtime and there will be a few on in the evening. I believe this will be incredibly unpopular. Don't understand why they don't just leave the games on at 3PM and let you watch them on TV. It's evident so many people watch the games through other means at 3PM so why not just show them? I think people go out to the games for a day out and the atmosphere not because they can't watch them on TV.

    Change the League Cup to teams that aren't playing in a European competition that season. You qualify for Europe by winning it, so will give more varied winners, more fans a chance to see their team win a trophy, fewer games for the big boys.
    I think it's pretty poor that the EFL and all clubs were just ignored, why do the FA think that only PL clubs should decide how it's organised, especially in rounds where PL clubs don't even enter. If there was a vote for Derby to boycott it, I'd support it.

    I think those 2 results will have knocked the stuffing out of Bolton's run. I think they will drop points again on Saturday.
    Peterborough on the other hand... They will believe they have a chance.

    therealhantsram reacted to Anon in Will Hughes   
    Why on earth would Hughes come to Derby? He's 28 and playing regularly in the Premier League. If the best he can get if Palace don't renew is an offer from League 1/Championship he needs to sack his agent. Signing released Premier League is a bad idea in most instances. They demand high wages and don't usually justify them. Ideally teams should look to identify players on the way up in their career trajectory.

    But it does make the signing of CBT pointless if you want to play three centre backs.

    therealhantsram reacted to Day in Rebecca Welch   
    Trying to figure out why her gender is relevant here, that is the box you are referring as being ticked?
    You are aware that all other referees are male and have been making bad decisions week in week out since the dawn of the game, yet their gender is never relevant in the aftermath. 
    It's those poor decisions which has led to the introduction of VAR, which again has made some terrible decisions even with all this technology by a bunch of men sat in a room together.
    I haven't seen what happened yesterday, assuming you are correct and it was a ludicrous decision, it won't be her first nor her last, likewise with every referee in the game.
    If your first thought however is to come here and moan about a woman making one bad decision out of how many correct decisions over a 90 minute game of football, does come across as a bit Joey Barton like.

    Remember when Musk said last year that he "cannot go beyond the laws of the country to defend free speech" and he censored anti-Erdogan accounts in Turkey as a result?
    https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/05/musk-defends-enabling-turkish-censorship-on-twitter-calling-it-his-choice/
    The fact that he's willing to challenge the laws of a country when it comes to the "free speech" of far-right Bolsanaro supporters tells us all we need to know about the Twitter bin-fire

    And don't forget, I believe that every weekend 5 Championship games will be shown live and 5 from the combined Leagues One & Two
    That'll be Friday night, Saturday lunch & evening, Sunday afternoon & Monday nights.
    Brilliant !?!?!
    Dare to say it but if we don't get promoted this season just imagine how many Derby games will be chosen for live weekend coverage next season

    This is not a step forward at all, it stifles competition and turns it into a closed shop for the benefit of Sky. Shame on the EFL for signing such a deal. and shame on the clubs for agreeing to it also.
    I will continue to subscribe to Rams TV, my overseas trips currently cost me £5 per month 🙂 Will sky be showing all matches live like Rams TV does? I doubt it! I won't give my money to Sky TV on principle.
    All fans should boycott Sky TV, they are destroying football in my opinion.

    Some good suggestions on here though... Twin Peaks and Stranger Things are really memorable and evocative. 
    Plus Miss Marple (with those 2 scary women peering out the window) and Dick Turpin.
