Have to agree that a fit NML should start.

Got my usual in EU-G so please don't shout too loud.?

We’ve got our usual seats in EU-F so it won’t be us shouting at you. If you’re in the East Stand we will keep an eye out for you.

Burton 1 - 3 Derby FRGS Mendez Laing

I've already read terms such as "Everybody" and "The whole country" etc...
That for me is the crunch. 
Why should folk be allowed to just stroll in once every 4 years, and take part in the positivity?  Many of whom won't know the offside rule, or what year England won the WC, or what 2 teams played in "The white horse final"!.  They won't know who Geoff Hurst effectively replaced in '66.  
They won't realise that the vast majority of the cast of "Escape to Victory" were yer actual, real life footballers... icons in some cases... legends to many!
They won't know that Bury were winning cup finals by 6 goals decades, and decades, and decades before Man bloody city were doing it!  
They won't know who held the FA Cup for the most consecutive years (Trick question... but a good 'un!)
They won't have a clue who Mr S Bloomer was (More than just a Rams legend!), or that a keeper once played on in a cup final with a broken neck!
What does "First division champions actually mean?"  They'll cry.
"Charlton reached the '46 cup final despite losing to Fulham in a 3rd round tie?  Don't be so ridiculous!", they'll screech!
 
These are football facts... for football fans!
Pwoper Football fans take the flak.  They suffer immensely... and fully deserve to party on, when their team hit the highs.  These are the folk I wanna be partying with!

I don't want to be partying with hangers on!  I don't even want to be talking football with folk that have never been to a professional game in their lives.  "Ooh... how nervy were those penalties eh?  What about that Henry Kane, eh?  Ha, ha, did you see Emma Bappy's face!"  Feckorf!
Duck 'em!  Duck 'em all!
 
 
Oh... did I not say?  Derby for me!   ?

Thought he had a good game today at LB although he does need to get himself in the gym as he often gets muscled off the ball.
I hadn’t realised until the Newport County game what a superb crosser of the ball he is with that wand of a left foot and today once again against the Wendies he put in some excellent deliveries.
In a 442 he could well cement a place at LM but long term I don’t see him as a LB or a LWB.

Whose bed are you normally in then?

Matchday and still in my own bed at 8 45 a.m. Luxury! 
Welcome home. ?⚽️
 

Derby 2 - 1 Wednesday FRGS McGoldrick 

Well I am calling derby fans to get pp sold out for saturday but also let's get pp looking impressive sea of black and white let's welcome our lads back home that not seen best part of a month apart from that fa cup replay we need get our lads back into top 6 now. Let's have pp rocking and let's make pp loud and pround .

This is to be my next big adventure- going to a match on my own. I used to regularly but 3 years ago today I was undergoing surgery to find my brain and then to repair the haemorrhage in it! As well as suffering small physical and mental losses, I also lost a lot of confidence. I’ve been setting myself challenges although my partner and family are not very enthusiastic! With this game being so early it means I can be back in Bristol for 5.30 so it’s not too long a day.
I may spend the following couple of days in a darkened room! COYR
 

I've done it again, I said I wasn't going to read the player ratings...
How on earth could someone score Dobbin 7 and Sibley 6? ?

Just watched his interview and was going to post this. He needs to own that first half as much as the players

Plaudits to Sibbo today who showed he can influence a game from deeper than he favours after all. That said, another critical intervention from the soon to be Derby legend that is Joe Wildsmith. Not even halfway through the season and he looks a shoe-in for POTY.

Really? Into the next round because we won, came back from a losing position to win, avoided a replay with the win, goal and assist for Sibley leading to a Derby win, more great goalkeeping from Wildsmith to make sure Derby won, no further injuries suffered during that win, more minutes for recovering players during that win…. Plenty to be happy about for me, but then I am a very simple man 

Been a critic but an excellent performance from Sibley second half. Lovely cross.

Sibley with a brilliant finish.

Think I'm saying this every game now but I'm going to say it again: please play four at the back. We don't have any wing backs, and in any case it isn't a formation that brings the best out of the squad that we have. I like Warne but he's being ridiculously stubborn on this point. 

It is a back five.
then the slowest midfield and forward line in history in front. 
 
an awful team selection 

Well that was pretty awful. I recommend Knight and Osula for Hourihane and Collins if we actually want to score rather than just go through the motions.

I fail to understand why Wednesday let Wildsmith go, and absolute steal of a deal.

We've been on TV a bit of late! Good to be on the free to air channels too
