I tried to explain the uniqueness of DCFC to a non football friend a few weeks ago and eventually defined us as " a soap opera with some football on the side".  When you factor in the gypsy curse, the coffee cup goal, the seemingly endless parade of criminal/corrupt/incompetent owners, the whole "Damned United" saga etc etc it does seem that way.  Maybe therefore DCFC is a microcosm of the tragicomedy of human existence, at least that's probably what a philosopher would say.
I seem to remember several years ago posting an analogy between the symbolism of the Ram as an animal and the mindset of DCFC fans in terms of the Ram as a symbol of defiance, strength, pugnaciousness etc, it's probably in the archive somewhere.
The uniqueness of the county is a product of its unique geography and history.  My house is built from stone quarried a mile down the road.  The 19th and 20th century world was shaped by technology that started right here.  The hills are green all year round except when it snows.  The sheer rugged beauty of this place finds a reflection in the inner toughness and resilience of the people, of which the Ram is an appropriate symbol.
Therefore, no one who knows the county and its people will be at all surprised by our absolute refusal to be cowed by "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune".  It's called Pride Park for a reason.

Good result for us last night I thought.
Posh now have to play us less than 72 hours after leaving the pitch last night.  They will also be distracted by their FA Cup run.
If we beat them on Sat we go above them, psychologically very important at this stage if the lads can do it.  Goal difference is SO important now.
Reading are obviously all over the place, the whole less than the sum of the parts, fans disgruntled, dressing room tensions etc.  Once we are just one place and only a few points below them and with a much superior GD then, given the form of both teams, the pressure will be very much on them rather than us.
I originally thought that we would need 12 points from the 6 games in Feb to bring us within sight of Reading, but it now seems that even if we can just pick up another 3-6 points from the next 3 games we will be breathing down their necks.
As long as this form continues, the fact is that we do seem to be the team out of the bottom 4 best placed to escape the drop.
Finally, if/when we do overtake Reading, the pressure then piles onto the other 3 teams because they will know that, compared to them, we are likely to pick up more points going forward - IF the current run of form continues.
Who would have believed 2 months ago that the table would look like this?
What a season!

... or l'art pour l'art. My daughter wanted a Derby poster so I knocked this up while cheering on the LA Rams in the Super Bowl (haven't a clue wots going on). Thought I'd share on the off chance anyone wanted a wallpaper etc. and start a thread for others to upload any art, photos etc...

Rooney is being the bigger man by saying that he will shake Gibson's hand tomorrow, should hopefully help to diffuse any potential trouble, I just hope he spits on that hand first LOL...

Exactly right.  The squad now has less depth and fewer options than before, but provided most people stay fit this is still a very competitive team at this level.  Even if we do stay up and have new owners in place for August, one suspects that by then most of this squad will have either retired or been sold, which IMO is why the Academy products are so important, because next season will probably be built around them just as this one has been, whatever league we are in.
These players are potentially the saving grace in all this.  If we keep producing this kind of quality then (a) we can sell a few (b) we need to dip into the shark infested waters of the transfer market less and (c) these guys will run through walls for the shirt, as they are proving week in week out.  There is a connection between the high proportion of home grown talent on display and the level of support that their performances, win or lose, are generating.  We all feel it, and that's why Sunday was sold out.
If they had given up then we probably would have too.  However, because there is so much fight on display on the pitch, the whole football world is watching the drama, and many neutrals are rooting for us to succeed.  We seem to have gone from being the team people love to hate to a new position as everyone's favourite underdogs in a short space of time.

6 games in February!
Let's have some fun with the stats.
IF we can pick up 12 points from 6 games (3 wins 3 draws or 4 wins 2 defeats) and those around us only get 6 points from 6 games, the table would then read:
Cardiff 32
Reading 28
Rams 27
Peterborough 26
Baaaaaaarnsley 20
1 point from safety and with a far superior goal difference!
Bring it on!!!
Da da                  da daaaaaaaaa da da da                      da daaaaaaaaaa da da daaaaaaaaaaaa da da (Great Escape)
COYR!!!
