Is he the same bloke that ended up as a tramp at the bottom of your garden? 

You can’t imagine how disconsolate old trampie has been this summer. Very little transfer market action for him to proffer an opinion on. Just tales of financial mismanagement that remind him of his own fall from grace.

Any game George Thorne played in the 13-14 season.

Later we realised we'd signed the Scottish Claude Davis. 

I’ve told the story before but I met his best mate (in a pub in north Kent) just after he’d signed. Friendly enough chap but the fact he was offering me coke within twenty minutes of meeting me did set off some alarm bells ?

I fail to see how Sept to end of Dec is 6 months.

There’s no flies on you ?

I love it that 80% of us just can’t grasp the concept of not changing the words to our new club anthem ? Even Stokies have managed to resist the urge to alter the words to Delilah!

Anyway as an intellectual and a hipster, I’m going to suggest ‘Blinded by your grace Pt 2’  by Stormzy.

Too niche I know. But its anthemic, almost in a gospel sort of way and although it’s about God it easily translates for how we might want to see a Derby team play.

And no one will have already claimed first dibs on it. It would be ours alone- as long as we can resist the urge to change the lyrics ?

Of course Chris Wilder will take the call. He’s had a horrible 12 months and needs a good laugh.

Missed an opportunity there did our Brian. Surely…

Can’t you still be professional in the National League ? ?

Now now. That wouldn’t fit with the Notts narrative because Sheffield City (1860) would then be the oldest team in the world.

Anything more than 3 and we'll keep fighting I think. It all relates to the EFL originally signing off the accounts and us signing players based on the previously approved accounts. If they'd challenged it first time around, we wouldn't have signed furthering players leading to an FFP breach. 

@Carneroprobably said this twenty minutes ago but…

Estoppel got thrown out at the Sheff Wednesday hearing (the EFL wrongly advised / endorsed their actions).

I’m fairly sure that Wednesday didn’t have St Nick de Marco at that hearing.  As he’s on a retainer with us, if I were Mel I’d be doubling down.

The embargo doesn’t scare me.  Sibley’s gonna keep us up on his own.

Better still, don’t even consider it. Can’t think of anything worse.

You’ve never heard of Westlife have you?

Anybody else had the thought cross their mind that Derby have released info to Percy to manage expectations?

Knowing we’re going to cop for a three point deduction, we use an unofficial comms route to indicate a 9pt penalty is on the table. Then bingo, a big reveal and the three point deduction doesn’t look so bad.

Expect a “brilliant rearguard action by Mel” narrative, so he saves face.

And expect a further six points suspended so the EFL save face too.

I reckon Caravan of love by the housemartins would go down a treat with everyone getting to their feet when they sing "stand up, stand up ".

It’s a winner.  We should get Don Amott to sponsor it.

“Every woman every man buy a caravan”

After my schoolteacher dressing down from @Rev, for being put off attending by the half glass empty musings of @Jourdan, I have had a word with myself this morning and ordered the tickets for me and the boy.

This afternoon I bought another ticket for my daughter. With the season ticket discount that worked out at less than thirty quid for all three of us.

2-0 Sibley FRGS

Louie Sibley scores goals.

Season ticket holders, and those yet to renew paused season tickets, have their normal seats reserved until 48 hrs before kick off.

Seems an over generous period to me, but that's the deal.

Easy for you to say. I had my bank card in hand ready to renew my season ticket and get tickets for Saturday.

Then @Jourdantold me we were still poo and now I have no idea what to do ???

Is the replay on the red button? Asking for a friend.

Did we do a win? Ooh. Anyone said ‘Mind the gap’ yet?

Defenders who should be on the antiques road show. Who's fault is that? 

Maybe the manager just fancies older players?

Definitely not in a bi-curious sort of way. Definitely. Not.

I would expect he’s just attracted to the fact older ones will try to please that little bit harder as they know their chances of some action are limited.

Whats not to love? I think we can all get behind the idea of Phil Jagielka pleasuring Wazza for 90 mins every Saturday afternoon.

I’m in the WR out camp. Got a few spare tents left if anyone is interested

I’ve shelled out for a glamping pod. Seemed a worthwhile investment given we’ve got at least two more months of not winning before Rooney goes.

0-1

No FRGS

Got to love some of the strategic thinkers on here.

Were massively short of attacking players. Hmmm let’s sell one who carries a goal threat because we can spend it on someone better! Double yay!!

Except we can’t can we? We can’t even use it to supplement a better wage offer to free agents.

Actually we’ve weakened ourself. Made relegation even more likely. And can’t effect any positive change to the squad.

I’d trust my tramp to run Derby better than some of of the posters on here ??

The appearance bonus was introduced as an incentive to some of our players to get the slovenly beggars to smarten up a bit.
