I always laugh when in the Turk's Head, it's card payments only and they do a beer called "Cash is King". For those wanting a pint of that beer, you have to go to this pub because it's a brewpub right in the middle of the city centre.

Must have come up a notch from when I frequented it as a young Marine recruit in the 90's. Very much a house of ill-repute.......and many an ironing board propped against the wall. If you know.......

He so hell bent on a system, there is literally not one player just being themselves and trying to take the game by the scruff.   

Remember when we were s**** under managers like  Clough, Jewell, Brown et al there was always a player that did that.

Osman, Savage, Bryson, (Seth) Johnson. Even that has been stifled. Sure there are players in this squad who could do what those mentioned above did. 

Depressing. 

As a general rule. If you stay within 250yds of the River Derwent from Darely Abbey down to Pride Park you'll find decent beer. 

Any street ending in gate, you'll find bars with Music and Botox. 

Both have their merits. 

Wembley game excepted, Probably 3rd or 4th biggest attendance in England today.

Chapeau.

I'm assuming 'fit' means 'fit for purpose'??

That aswell, along with its  dual meaning and also chucking a Sh..... in here it kinda worked ?‍♂️

Lady refs are the way forward. So much toxicity with men. Not once have they acted like idiots this evening, ganging up or haranguing the official.  I approve.  Amazingly.  Groundbreaking stuff.

….. a bad one and get hammered with any luck.

Before anyone gets defensive, most Welsh fans would support North Korea before us.

The only time the two sets fans became 'friendly' was when they were all getting battered by Russian paramilitaries in France a few years back.

13950 with 6542 from Derby 

I find that amazing. Didn't look much like about 5k in the home end. Massively sparse.

As players are free to move at the end of their contracts they cannot have any value to the club at all. That’s why they are called free agents 

Couldn't  a scrap value only apply to a balance sheet. Like a disposal bonus a £10 million contract write down over 5 years ending in say a free agent but 500k  as a positive entry on a balance sheet??? An offset for value provided to the business or something like that. 

As you were ikechi anya ??

There are only three rules with respect to making effective presentations...

• Tell 'em what you're going to tell 'em
• Tell 'em
• Tell 'em what you told 'em.

C - clear

L - loud

A - as an order

P - (with) pauses  

..... and a  smattering of press ups to sharpen the mind.

Couldn't you apply a straight-line amortisation yet still arrive at an end-of-contract value? Must the contract always arrive at £0.00? It doesn't work like that for business assets like plant, buildings, fixtures....

Buy a player for £3 million over a three-year contract, amortise him for £750k each year = £2,250 'depreciation'; £750 ERV

Out of all this, I still cannot see why a player's registration should be valueless at the end of a contract with his club. 

But then, this is football, sometimes 'beyond statute'.

 

Absolutely this. Amen

Footballers unless retiring should have a 'scrap value' applied when  contract runs out. Similar to a vehicle (my area of work) at end of working life. 

Then comes the arguments over how those scrap values are worked out. But not insurmountable.

6?. Ok, thanks. I usually get there in just under 2. Enjoy the game.

Good effort!!! 

You must have an interesting endorsements section on your license.  ?

Invade the pitch get it abandoned and beat them in the replay. 

Hahaha

Well if you can’t tease your mates over their drinks choices I guess there is nothing left.. Ale drinkers get the “Looks like my piss” comment… Carling drinkers get the “I wouldn’t get pissed on your cooking lager” comment…

Al classic pub banter and the worlds a better place for it hurrah..

For the easily offended I'd suggest drinking Guinness, nobody EVER picks on Guiness. 

The drinkers safe space......

There absolutely is a standard amortisation policy used by football clubs.

A bit like 4-4-2 was the only way to set up an England team on the pitch.

Until Terry Venables came up with the Xmas Tree. 

Straight line is flawed for valuing sportsmen. Look at some of the transfer fee's paid this window for players literally at the end of their contracts.
