We want Cooper to stay in place until at least the end of the season. They are bottom of the form table and dropping like a stone. Don't want any kind of new manager bounce over there

We used to have a striker called Chris Martin. He wasn’t quick or big but he had a great brain and a lovely pair of feet. We played the ball into said feet and he would reverse it, or dink it or hold it, or flick it for runners to score. It all looked so simple. Too simple. James Collins doesn’t do any of that. Nor does he score. 

I hope we let him go this summer. Don’t believe he is effective anymore.

Hey lads,
Posh fan here. Just wanted to chip in as have seen some interesting comments on this thread.
I’ll start with saying that in the first half you absolutely played us off the pitch. Most dominant performance from the opposition I’ve seen since forever probably. And I saw us ship 4 against Blackburn away in the first half last season! I was actually taken aback which is a rare thing at this level. Which begs the question are your forwards the issue? I thought Derby were quite powderpuff up front at Pride Park - we just couldn’t hang on with 10 men after a bad sub from our former manager. Same in this game despite playing us off the park. 
Second half - looking on this forum and Derby Twitter a lot of you seemed to have admitted defeat going into HT at 0-0 which was quite puzzling to us given what we saw from you. Why do you think this is a common thing with you? We had the same habit last season and ultimately got us relegated (especially in last 10 minutes). We’ve won 20 but lost 15 so we’re unpredictable.
I saw someone mention earlier going to the Royce pub and they thought it was a nice coincidence. Sir Henry Royce of Rolls-Royce was from Peterborough (Alwalton). Nice little fact for you. 
 
As for the ‘Peterborough being a dump’ comments, you’ll rarely find a Peterborian that would disagree with you. The irony of our nickname isn’t lost on us! The identity comments are interesting too - you’ll find Peterborough fans that sound completely different. We get a lot of support from South Lincs/Rutland/Northants. As soon as you go East of Peterborough it becomes Fenny (comboyn ‘arvisturr’). Then you’ve got the ‘London overspill’ descendants that follow us. The “only club where the home fans will sing Peterborough is a s******* I want to go home” comment on here made me laugh - it doesn’t get sung but a lot of our support is from outside of the city. So you’re not far wrong.
 
I’ll wrap up with advice for future visits. If you go to Drapers (the Spoons) you’re going to get herded to the ground probably. Same thing happens with Cambridge/Northampton/Leicester/Forest etc. Brewery Tap is popular (across the station). Multiple on Oundle Road as well leading to the ground. Charters (the barge on the Nene) a fan favourite as well - just buy multiple at a time as it gets packed.
Interesting to read your thoughts. You definitely seem a more intelligent bunch than Forest fans haha.
Good luck for the rest of the season. 
 

Bellingham is some player

I don't get Tomori ahead of Maguire.
Deschamp does the opposite, if a player plays for CL club wherever that might be, he will consider the player for the France team. The simple reason is that the level of CL is on a par with international football, and Ligue 1 isn't.

Add another 2
If McGoldrick does not score we haven't got much else.
Lack of pace with CBs. I watched the "highlights" and for the second goal watching Cashin trying to get back is not a a good look. He looks like he is running through treacle

2 players who are good but tired.
The alternatives are Davies and Collins 
I rest my case

Mr f****** Mardy. He spent most of the game fouling and niggling and arguing with their players and the ref. Did absolutely f*** all, was hardly in the box and had how many shots?

The ballboy who skinned Marriott!

That is a good point I never thought of. That the trafficking starts back closer to their home countries. They pay the gangs money there with the promise of arriving in the uk. By the time they are been pushed onto dangerous boats, it's probably too late.
Maybe we should treat them as victims rather than vile scum trying to game out not very generous system. 

You need to share your amusing, mildly cynical yet knowledgeable motorsports analysis to a wider audience. Your running commentary of the the F1 season might turn out to be the most entertainment we get all season. Thank you.

SO it's time for the formula 1 show to arrive in Saudi Arabia for the Saudi Aramco Human Rights Grand Prix.
There are plenty of reasons to not watch it if you don't agree with the oppression of Sergio Perez (and some other issues). They've made the track slightly less of a death trap this year as well, which I'm sure Mick Schumacher appreciates.
However, eyeballs or not, the race will happen and the points will count.
So, will we see a different kind of track hamper Ferrari less, or help the Merc look a bit more competetive, will Alonso continue in happy Alonso mode, or will the return of the grumpster be shepparded in? WIll Alpine not be dumb? Will Haas be not dumb? All this and more and remember, if you try to view it from a non-athorised source without the express written consent of F1, Liberty media and SKy, you'll get your hands cut off.
 

The cuts in the red bull catering budget really starting to hurt them...
"look Max, I can't get Marco to sign off any more expenses without a reciept. You know how mad everyone got about our catering department's carbon fibre fabrication last season. Look just go to a kabab shop and let me fix it. love, Karan."

Last time I went I wouldn't say the doctor was enthusiastic but when the report came back it said I needed two fillings and a crown.

It is definitely serious stuff. Go get yourself checked!!!!
At my last prostate examination I asked where I should put my trousers and pants. "Next to mine" was not the answer I had been expecting.

Echo this
my family sadly have a horrendous history of bowel cancer. We lost my dear dad 5 years ago to it at the tender age of 62 having been diagnosed at only 58.
iv had several polyps pulled from me now but as undignified as it all is i know the alternative is a lot worse. Iv got young kids and to put them through what i as a 40 yo went through with my dad far far far outweighs any embarrassment of having a camera in my ass.
Any doubts, bloating, pain after eating , irregular bowel habbits, blood in poo, go… go and get checked out
probably nothing, but dont give fate a chance 

Pantomime villain Priti Patel is looking to put a spanner in the works on Monday along with other con MP’s, she may end up inadvertently siding with Linekar.
When even the likes of Patel are plotting against you, you know you’ve ducked up monumentally!
This gets more and more amusing!

Alright Rishi, great to know you’re a Derby fan. ??

Hilarious! I-Ram. We can laugh, joke, and occasionally wince, but we’ve had the exam, my original post was of course to urge others to have the examination. 

No I didn’t miss out on your joke, I’m ashamed of my poor response! 
I did however make sure the doctors hands weren’t on my shoulders during the examination.

Last September I was playing football with my grandson,and hurt my knee. I didn’t bother the doctors because the knee gradually returned to near normal, but still quite painful at times. It was such a time I winced, and my wife “advised “ me to see the doctor,which I duly attended, knee examination, all OK, I asked for a PSA (having seen the information at Pride Park) check which he duly gave me the paperwork. The test came back 7.1, I’m over 70 so 6.5 is regarded as normal. I was dispatched to the Derby Royal, had the anal examination, ( for the first time) small lump found. In five weeks I’ve had a MRI scan,my prostrate biopsy done, and a QT scan,and I’m now on a hormone treatment plan. It appears they’ve caught the tumour early, and the prognosis is good, they say it will be eliminated. You do lose your dignity at times, but not going through that door and having the exam you could lose a lot more.
A shout out to the doctors and nurses at the Derby Royal, they have been absolutely terrific, informative, and very understanding, and caring.
 

I don't want VAR at any level. Even more so in L1, the standard of refereeing is so bad we would spend just as long checking VAR and correcting decisions as in open play.

Not gonna say it was a dive but...
