I work with MPs and can say from personal experience that Margaret is fantastic. She will be doing everything she can on this.

The only problem comes in that she doesn't belong to the party of Government. The Minister for Sport should already be on this. He shouldn't need nudging. One of the biggest football clubs in the country is about to disappear because of a technicality being harshly applied by one of the sport's governing bodies. Nigel Huddlestone shouldn't be doing anything else today.

Here is the order paper for Urgent Questions today:
1. UQ - The role of the military in dealing with migrants crossing the channel. (Heappey/Healey) 
2. UQ - Fraud in the Coronavirus grant schemes. (TBC/McFadden)
3. UQ - Matters of EFL (English Football League) governance surrounding the administration of Derby County FC. (TBC/TBC)


UQs starting at 12:30. Here is a link to the stream from the Commons:

It's still TBC at the moment but I would be very disappointed if Nigel Huddlestone isn't there to answer it. If he is there, I am looking to here a strong commitment from him to get involved immediately.

Really worth a listen to both MPs. MB very passionate and sounds like she will stop at nothing now to take this on. She felt personally insulted by the EFL due to conversations they’d previously had behind the scenes. 

As a friend said to me over the weekend "Norwich are going to take your record this year" I wanted to suggest the initiation of St Claude's Day, the date on which no club can undertake (or equal) our points tally of eleven points. Named in honour of a player more symbolic of our lack of preparedness, ability, and commitment than any other (a statement of recognition in itself) in that 07/08 season the race is now on to predict on what day it will fall this season.
In previous years St Claude's Day has fallen on the following weekends, last season's Covid affected schedule aside it has only three times made it past New Years Day.
2020/21: 4th March (Sheffield United)
2019/20: 22nd December (Watford)
2018/19: 27th February (Huddersfield)
2017/18: 13th December (Swansea)
2016/17: 19th December (Sunderland)
2015/16: 18th January (Aston Villa)
2014/15: 29th December (Leicester)
2013/14: 26th December (Sunderland)
2012/13: 2nd January (QPR)
2011/12: 31st December (Blackburn)
2010/11: 27th November (Wolves and West Ham)
2009/10: 19th December (Portsmouth)
2008/9: 8th November (Spurs)
So, on what day will St Claude's Day fall on this year? I predict it will be the fourth time it has made it past New Years Day but I still think last week in February our record will be safe for one more season.
 

I'm a Sky Blue... Born Chaddy and moved to North of Coventry at the age of 2. Not sure I'm allowed a second team but have always looked out for your results and been a bit narked that DCFC never seem to make the big time despite the fantastic fan base.   My first game was a 0-0 in 1974 FA Cup tie at Highfield Rd.   Went today.  I agree with this comment and as the second half went on it looked like County would draw level.  A brief moment of entertainment in the stands was the side show before the goal.  Derby looked big in defence and fair play for commanding the best part of the second half.  City had a penalty call but it was waived away.  Hit the bar and had a goal disallowed.  But Derby were worth their draw.  Hope off the pitch problems get sorted out so that you stay up. 

As it happens I've just landed! Beers are on me. Thanks both ?

It looks like they might have tightened the international restrictions for viewing. I've tried to watch it from the US, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Japan and South Africa. I'm incredibly jet lagged right now and still no closer to watching it.

Just got his first call up for England. 

Good on him. He's part of a centre back pairing at AC Milan that haven't conceded a goal in 350 minutes of league football. Very well deserved and I wish I could live in some alternate universe where we got to keep him!
