ITV
I think it's to be shown on ITV4 on a saturday evening.
Hope they get Colin Murray to present still, he's superb. Doubt it though, he doesn't tick enough boxes for the TV execs.

Love that Wet Leg video. It reminded me a bit of this one from Stealing Sheep, worth watching if you haven’t seen it.
 

Drivers that are not paying attention on the road.
My Mum had just left her house in Stapleford last night, bringing my dog back having looked after him whilst we were away.
Less than 15 minutes into her journey, down the A52 traffic on the inside lane onto the M1 was slowing down, my mum slowed with the traffic in front of her down to no more than 10mph, is smashed from behind into a spin that took her into the next lane, then hit again head on and sent back into the left lane by another car.

Thankfully both Mum and dog are fine and uninjured, a little stiff this morning and marks on her from the seatbelt, it’s not lost on us how lucky they both were.
My dog has his own seatbelt which probably saved his life, when the emergency services were collecting their stuff out the car, they had to retrieve his bag from maybe 20-30ft down the duel carriage way.
Could easily have been him. So many have dogs loose in the car, let this be a warning, a £10 belt that clipped on to his harness possibly saved his life. You can be the safest driver on the road, yet you cannot control what other cars are doing.
Whilst waiting for emergency services as she was trapped inside, car door hinges were buckled, my mum asked the young driver why he didn’t stop, his reply was “I couldn’t”.
Now unless he had a break failure, I can only assume he was distracted by a mobile phone, car radio or something as to put a car into a spin and causing that much damage at low speeds, he clearly was not paying attention and reacting to what was happening in front of him .
Witnesses have collaborated my mums version of events, fully injured, gap insurance the lot so financially she will be fine. Mentally though, not so much, doesn’t want to get behind the wheel again, shook her right up.
Not sure what’s happened to him, but surely a case of driving without due care and attention.

Possibly after his beer.

Breadly Johnson? 

As you clearly love the flag I’ve attached some racier photos 
 

We did 'chinny reckon' back in the 80s, but there was also 'itchy beard' (with the same chin stroking action), but if it was massive lie/utter BS, 'Tutankhamun' was used instead. This involved a much longer stroke of the chin (even sometimes down to chest level), and an over-emphasis on the last syllable (i.e. 'Tutankamoooooon')

Wembley Singles. Also did Wembley Doubles in teams of two.

I'm only here for the sketches of Rooney ?
 
 

It all depends if some people put money away for rainy day I certainly have been so I am ready and waiting to go.

Heard today it is a joint venture between French connection (FC UK) and the actor Mel Gibson. Will renamed the FC UK Gibson stadium.?

An arguably, even better Park Bench Plaque?
 
 

With all due respect your honour...
... THEY DOCKED US 21 POINTS, AND WE DON'T GIVE A DUCK
 
And so ends my statement. As you were.

Agree dont watch football now only the rams(season ticket) and England(if not friendlies).

On a separate note, whilst we're all full of bonhomie, let's just take a moment to salute Jake Daniels, a brave 17 year old young man, with a brilliant future in the game, who chose today to publically come out.
It shouldn't even be a thing in 2022… but Sir, I salute you.

Now know how my poor parents felt when we called them in the middle of the night to tell they were grandparents for the first time! Never going to sleep.
And all the negative doom-merchants on here just go and do one for a bit can you

I know and not forgetting the Notts Forest, Leeds and every vindictive fan who has wished the worst for our club.
Decided to give it a while longer and no family or friends are awake to share with! Just lying in the dark listening to a noisy deer (who must be celebrating) and reading my phone and feeling a teeny bit tearful. 

Just landed in Vegas to this news….. it’s 4pm in the afternoon here and 40 degrees ? ☀️…. Time for a cold beer and raise a glass to the new gaffer ?? ? 

Man of the Match Awards (half an award given when a tie occurred)
Jagielka         4
Ebiowei          4
 
Bird                3.5
Allsop             3.5
Cashin           3.5
 
Knight              3

Shinnie             2
Ebosele            2

Sibley                1
Stearman           1
Plange               1
Kazim                1
 
So Phil Jagielka and Malcom Ebiowei share the crown with four MotM awards each, a feat made all the more impressive when you consider Jags left in January and Ebiowei didn't make his first appearance until late in the season.
That Big Curt was toward the bottom of the list perhaps emphasises his steady contributions throughout, as backed up by the Podium stats.
The Academy graduates collected between them 21 of the 46 awards (45.65%), which increases to 23 awards (50% quickmath) if we include Roos.
 
 
Podium Awards (for making the top three in a match rating, half an award as above)
Davies                   14.5
 
Bird                        13

Allsop                     12
 
Cashin                     9.5
 
Jagielka                   9

Stearman                   2
Sibley                         2
 
Bielik                          1
 
No surprise perhaps to see CD33 at the head of that list. He played every minute of every match and despite the odd dip in form - which you can forgive any centre back at his age - he was magnificent.
Fantastic to see the Academy young guns pick up 58.5 of the total award (42.39%). If we include Roos that increases to 62.5 awards (45.29%).
 
There may be some mileage in breaking it down further into awards by position etc but I've had my fill of digits for a while so I'll pass it over to one of you lovely souls. I'd be interested in reading further breakdowns if anybody does use the figures to pass an hour or fifty.
The most high profile and/or oft-rated of those who didn't manage to make it onto either list is, of course, Kamil JOZWIAK, which rather sums up his time at Derby. I rather suspect that 'a resigned shrug of ones shoulders' was known in Old English as 'a jozwiak'.

I was going to pick a few nuggets out of there but I'll read your thoughts, if indeed you have any, on our collective End of Season Stats Review. I'm tired and emotional though and it'll all end in tears.
Once again, thanks for staying awake if you've made it this far and here's to a club making its way back, starting with a takeover announcement tomorrow hopefully.
COYR
                      
 
 

A few of them together.

You know, I'd never looked at it that way. 
In fairness, I still don't. 
Silly boy.
