Dunno. I thought Warne was wanting players for the Championship now? TBH maybe if we go up many will find it easier to move on?

Yes, I can still remember happily (and even optimistically) singing along to 'Things can only get better' after one election result. 🙂

I like your optimism. I'd hope for, as I say, better education to help people appreciate that they can make a fairer, kinder world. However I doubt I'll even see this 'smart (young) leader' let alone one that can formulate a dynamic policy. MPs seem to be some of the least educated of the lot! And they're now valued at about the same level as teachers?!

I'm in favour of smarter people, maybe then there'd be less tech companies 'hacking your attention'. Which govt intervention do you think would work, send the programmers to Rwanda? 😉 Of course I see what you're saying but how could it be done, the tech companies are way smarter than Govt., well Western Govts anyway. This is the real world.

What is 'the real world'? Of course it's a binary interpretation, but also it isn't. The software is programmed by people in tech companies. Used by people. How much 'nanny state' do you want? Perhaps if there was a better education system and more value given to education then Nanny wouldn't need to be so attentive.

No different than blaming football for football hooligans. The users are the ones setting the agenda.

Give the goal to Waggy then, that'll add more salt. 😄

Derby's No.1

Who said it didn't? That's right YOU did. Why do you feel the need to be a keyboard warrier just because I don't rate Paul Warne? Go bother someone else, cos I'm too busy for your crap.

True. I want to see us win something again! #COYR

Thanks. Yeah lots of the football has been awful, that's true. 👍

Wrong. I will enjoy promotion if we get it. 😄

Lol. When - please do quote me (you can't by the way) - I've said that. You are the unhappy fan, I'll be very happy if the league 1 expert gets us promoted. 😄

Could have been better.

My fears for this season were that the League 'promotion expert' would mess up again. He's had a couple of wobbles in the past few games when we should have made autos more than possible, but oops... #COYR

This is his level. We'll go nowhere in the Championship, should we get there, with Warne and his chums. 👍

Obvs I can't see the game today, but how is that Nelson with the shot?
