What was the final result?

The dream ended at halftime, so I don't know but judging by the time he was taking am guessing Ebou scored a screamer or two

Last night I dreamed I was a Derby County player, we were losing a game 0-1 at halftime and I thought well I better take control of this situation and so decided there and then that I had become the team manager.  There were 3 new players in the team, all clueless of how to play that particular game, 1 fancy central midfielder, 1 full of himself forward and 1 lost in space right back and yeah, I straightened em out on change of tactics and such on the pitch, as I didn't allow the team into the dressing room, they had not earned that right.

Losing the game was out of the question and the key to my whole tactical solution reasoning was Ebou, my main man, and I was looking for him so that I could tell him the plan of him pulling a couple of meters back in midfield, but he was not there.  Where is Ebou, where is my precious Adams, I loudly inquired.  He's in the bathroom, gaffer, someone yelled.  The dream ended with the whole team waiting on the pitch for Ebou to finish his business, while I wondered whether the full of himself new forward actually understood a word of English.

Some noticeable absentees from this thread in the last 24 hours 👀

Our opinions differ at times, but we are all Derby County fans who wish the best for the club, we now all have cause to smile and celebrate

What a blessing this man has been for the club, saving it from near certain ruin and then appointing the management team to guide us back to the Championship. 

Am so pleased for everyone at the club on this day of celebration, but especially for our esteemed owner Mr. David Clowes.

Thank You Sir.

Mrs. ramit and I just finished Ripley on Netflix. 

I appreciate that it is not for everyone, the slow pace is however intentional, it is a psychological attack on the viewer, who finds him or herself asking, why am I rooting for this psycho at the same time that I want him punished?  If that was the point of the books, then well done production crew, director, camera operators, set designers and actors, we were indeed left asking questions of ourselves.

This is the evening before the great day, enjoy it, savour it, mark it

Look forward to tomorrow and sleep easy

The point is, there is no point in making a point unless it's 3 points

How we win, as we win, when we win

I found this piece many years ago on an album called La Musica Della Mafia Vol. II

Enchanting, yet ominous, it has stuck in my mind, I play it from time to time.

Clough is why I became a Derby County fan.  I was only 9 but knew he was my kind of mad genius.

Really enjoyed that, thanks Comrade

Lets secure our place in the Championship first, eh, then we can have this discussion

Ripley (Netflix)

Really good - Andrew Scott is a much, much better Tom Ripley (in my opinion) than Matt Damon.

Halfway through and really enjoying it.  Agree, Scott is extraordinarily good as Ripley, the use of the eyes, the faintest of expressions, the body language all used to exceptional effect.  Miles better than Damon's interpretation.

Quite a few I would prefer to keep, but that depends on their wage demands, Sibley, Wildsmith, Barkhuizen, Ebou, Robinson, and make every effort to keep Collins and Thompson, as we will need hard workers.

On the subject of betting, call me a sentimentalist, which I am, I would never bet against Derby County, no matter the odds.

That second half was as ugly as can be, but somehow they hung on

WooooooHoooo
