Strange if we let Collo go 

Not sure whether it's controversial but.....
 
I reckon @i-Ram is the forum member that most suits a twin-set and pearls.....

Phillip Cocu and Nigel Clough are the only two managers in the past 20 years that cared more about (and prioritised) the wellbeing of the club as opposed to their own personal goals.
Phillip Cocu and Nigel Clough are the only two managers in the past 20 years who could build a team to an identity. 
Phillip Cocu will achieve more in his managerial career (a last 16 Champions League spot and top division title on his resume) than any other Derby manager for the next 50+ years.

'Ive banned people for less than that.

Wow. I never knew he could write and play like this. I always considered him just as a gifted actor. Great lyrics.

Much to my delight, our cat Baldur is a music lover and has his own sense of taste.  Not much into the hard rock, yet.
I can tell when he's enjoying a tune, he'll jump into my lap, pretend to nap, or begin grooming.
Of course he enjoyed this.
 

Two out of three ain't bad, it's worse than that.

Surprised we haven’t kept Collo as back up….

Hiring Phillip Cocu was a colossal mistake.  He was too lazy to study what works in the Championship before taking on the job and too self absorbed and blinkered to recognize that his style of football wasn't working and wouldn't.

I heard this on the radio when it came out and loved it straight away, it was the first song I heard with Costello, that's one heck of an introduction.  Thanks for this @Comrade 86

Off to see him in Wolves later this year 

Thanks @ramit I love Costello. This is very much a desert island disc for yours truly.

The demand here was that Israel be removed from the competition this year, the call to withdraw participation came because that demand was not met.
It is up to individuals whether to take part in any social activity, but the reasoning matters.  To say, if I don't get my way, then I won't play is childishly overbearing.

Is this the right room for an argument?

I have absolutely no idea wtf I've been listening to for the past 2 hours, other than to assume it comes under the "Techno" umbrella, and I can't be arsed to go around the corner and down 7 doors to ask!
... But then, I caught a blast of that "pump it up" ditty, so had great joy in skipping around the back garden doing Eboooooooooooou's balcony version!
I can be quite hip when it matters!
BOOM! 

If he has sense enough to accept a modest wage with bonus incentives and has the right attitude, he might do

In Iceland we choose the song to represent us through a local song competition, so Eurovision is a long running process.  This year loud voices called for us to withdraw from the competition altogether, some of the planned performers even said publicly that they wouldn't go to Malmö if their song was chosen.
One of the performers is a Palestinian immigrant and his song appeared to have a commanding lead in popularity and then indeed won the competition, but wait, according to our state broadcaster RUV some mistake had apparently taken place and a recount was needed, the conclusion being he didn't win.  Dubious that.
Die hard Eurovision local celebrities withdrew any support this year, the traditional announcer pulled out, even the writer of the "winning" song refused to follow the song to Sweden.  All this because Israel was not removed from this year's competition.
I don't support this reaction.
I understand the people's anger over the horrific brutality of Israeli forces in Gaza, I share their feelings, yet I cannot in good conscience condone any type of cancel culture, to punish and exclude musicians, sportsmen and women, anyone representing their country, on the grounds of what their government is doing, to me that is simply wrong.  I don't believe in discriminating against people based on their origin, religion, sex or their personal opinions on various matters, even if I find those views appalling.

And finally Derby’s Daj Brown scores the winning penalty in the shoot out . 

If we rebuild our first team the way we have with our academy we’ll be just fine! Brilliant job by all 

Happy Birthday @Eddie
