This is Percy openly acknowledging his loyalties and true colours with regards ourselves. When we as supporters were going through a tough time, he wasn’t so supportive defending our plight, he’s in the same bracket as that over rated accountant; nice to see Percy is feeling it here.
Hope he gets pelters from all angles, his credibility will slip the more he pins his colours to the Forest charade playing out.

The EFL are a shambles, but I'm not sure this is caused by them. Maybe it's debateable whether a 10 year security of tenure is really necessary for a promoted team, but this was quite clearly stipulated in the league rules and Gateshead were already informed of this potentially barring them from promotion well ahead of time. I'd be very interested to know why Gateshead council failed to work with the club to provide the security of tenure.

Said it in the other thread, but they have - according to them. Issue being is if the council sell it, the new owners are free to renegotiate.

The whole set of decisions is odd. If Gateshead can't play, why not replace them with Aldershot? Why do Solihull (5th) get a bye just because they were meant to play Gateshead? Surely Altrincham in 4th should get the advantage of the bye and restructure the semis?

The bit where he says he's going to throw the players into the pit of the sarlak to be slowly digested over a thousand years was one of the best motivational speeches I've seen from any manager.

I don't really watch TV, so my gripes are all radio issues.
Adverts where the company name is repeated about 20 times in the space of 30 seconds.
Any advert where they think shouting will somehow induce me to buy their product.
Tool hire/van insurance etc ads that insist on using the exact same white van man caricature. Also, any of these type of adverts that are voiced by Ralph Ineson (which is about 90% of them).

Me giving Ryan Nyambe a bit of advice on how to handle those tricky wingers next season. 😂

What a brilliant night! Dan (B4) and Angie Vallance received the Alfreton supporters award.  I almost missed it as I was in the loo 😂 the glass award is lovely and will have pride of place in my parents house. The players looked visibly touched when it was announced Dan and Angie were being awarded posthumously. It was lovely to see so over 200 people there to celebrate DCFC and those who love the club. I had no idea what to expect but it was amazing. Lovely food and company. I had no idea the players and David Clowes would be there, so that was a lovely surprise. 

Duck egg blue, chocolate and amber. I don't know why we ever changed it.

Yes, Leeds were playing well enough, but it was a completely different style of football. A style that Clough didn't like and wouldn't have been proud to play as a manager, even if it had continued to bring success. I think there's definitely some truth in Clough wanting to destroy Revie's team, as he could be incredibly petty at times. It only makes me like him more as it's exactly what I'd do to Leeds if given the opportunity. It was a bad match up in general though. The Leeds players were also a petty and small minded bunch who worshipped the ground Revie walked on. They would've undermined any new manager, even if that manager wasn't as abrasive and confrontational as Clough. Also, it's usually harder to win things when you are no longer paying your opponents to lose.

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.

The stadium is still there. One of the Darlington Rugby clubs purchased it.

“He only played a few minutes, and yet he didn't work hard and avoided tussle. If you run less than a footballer who has played 90 minutes, you're not even a footballer. Fame doesn't win football games. If it did, I would have brought in a famous retired player.” - Kim Gi-dong.

1st wicket for Tickner, 4 balls into his Derbyshire career.
Lovely stuff, and a splendid moustache to boot.
