    Bigfella reacted to Crewton in Words you don't hear much these days   
    In Alvo, jitty was a footpath linking two streets. The passageway between terraced houses that led to the back gardens was called "the entry", which gave rise to endless Carry On moments. 
    "Hum" is a word I don't hear much anymore, as in something smelling awful.

    Not sure what the big issue on here is about cancelling tomorrow's games.
    It's not like the death of the reigning monarch is a daily occurrence is it.
    If folks are moaning about having to miss one Saturdays worth of football every 96 years then they need to give their heads a wobble.

    If you do not wish to pay your respects to the Queen, that's fine, being respectful to the members on this forum that wish to though isn't a big ask.
    This really is not the time or the place to discuss personal views on the monarchy.

    I see RoyMac is winding you all up again. Not sure why you all give him the bites he is looking for. His only true centre forward love is Chris Martin, whose goal record over his entire career is far inferior to Collins, and over the last 5 years he has scored 34 from 185 appearances. (Collins 77 from 227). Martin is one ahead in the goal scoring sweepstake this season, but Roy lets have a £20 quid charity bet as to who scores more goals in the coming season.

    Rubbish , Collins is showing his worth as a team player , hopefully on Saturday he will get a goal that his play so far has merited , hasnt took long for some fans on here to adopt a new scapegoat

    Bigfella reacted to Sean in James Collins   
    Just wanted to put in a good word for James, he worked tirelessly tonight against Grimsby and you can tell the crowd are on his side trying to get him his first goal which is refreshing to see.
    He runs and runs and runs, is getting in the right positions and really pushes defenders back and out of place. Hoping his goal comes this week or as soon as possible and he can then carry on firing.

    Been watching the Rams since 1970. Seen Managers come and go , some great plenty mediocre. I think we may just have a gem in young Liam I’m pleased with the work he is doing and think he has a fine future in the game hopefully taking the Rams back up the leagues.

    I hate fake grass. It's poor for the environment and contains toxic chemicals not to mention the impact it has on our ever dwindling numbers of insects and birds. When it wears out which at some point it will it can't be recycled and will just add to the landfill. My heart sinks every time I see somebody ripping out nature and replacing it with fake. I hate it!

    I haven't had a regular match buddy since my dad died a couple of years ago. Then out of the blue my daughter (20s) asked about coming to the match on Saturday
    Turns out she loved watching the women's Euros 
    First of many? I hope so

    Bigfella reacted to Dave Mackay Ate My Hamster in The big reset.   
    Strangely, now we've been saved by St. David of Clowes, I'm really pleased, in the bigger picture, that we are now in Division 1.
    Back to old school football. Back to being a big fish in a small pond. 
    We tried, under Mel to turn up at the casino that was the Championship with a big F off stack of chips to intimidate other players at the table. Spent fast and loose - and lost.
    We needed a total reset and we got one. I can't lie, it's hurt. Being threatened with extinction was a very real prospect.
    Now we've cleared the football cache and cookies, we're back to a fresh start.
    I'm still haunted by the memory of all that money we wazzed up the wall. Even the least of the excesses was Anya. £4m and and £20k a week over 4 years, ergo £8m over 4 years. There were 4 or 5 others that cost £10m+ in transfer fees and salaries over 4 year contracts.
    £60m minimum wazzed up the wall on 5 or 6 players, not to mention our merry go round of managers that resulted in the amount of debt that threatened our very existence. Covid didn't help, but the aforementioned was the real problem.
    Certain individuals that had Mel's ear and were administrators at our club were also abusing their parallel self-interests as agents to sell us pup after pup.
    Now we're back to football reality. It's amazing what team we've managed to piece together on frees and modest wages.
    Loving our new reality. We can attract decent players at this level, where if we spend within our means, which is significantly above most of our competitors, we can perform well at this level. 
    If we continue in this manner, we can grow organically.
    What's not to love? A fantastic academy that should finance our rebirth. 30,000+ crowds, that again should finance our rebirth and perversely the EFL reining us back to a financial plan that we absolutely NEEDED. Didn't want, but definitely needed.
    Oh and being rescued by the 'quiet man of football' - DC.
    What a time to be alive! I'm falling back in love with football again.
    The only way is up...

    Bigfella reacted to Ram-Alf in The Administration Thread   
    I'm chilled out, The sale will go ahead, Clowes has the stadium, Left a shedload of cash to get by on and we're waiting for paperwork to be signed...no big deal.
    I'll wager Q and Clowes are as frustrated as most on here, Well this is what happens when the last owner left a little mess at PP, The mess is going through the legal people who'll sort it in good time...when...I've not a clue, But it'll be sorted.

    Bigfella reacted to Wolfie20 in New manager, who do you want?   
    Neither will Hughton.
    Some of the names being suggested are depressing - Warnock, Hughton, Cook, Allerdyce etc etc.
    Given that Rosenior is familiar with the players and coaching staff i would continue with him in the managers' role, at least in the short term. Assuming that financial resources will be limited for some while, we should prioritise our spending on the player recruitment side because the squad as it stands, even with extending contracts for some, will be unlikely to be good enough to mount a serious promotion challenge - I can see the likes of Knight, Byrne, Buchanan and Bielik leaving before the season starts.
