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
Lawrence         3
Byrne               3
Thompson        3
 
Forsyth             2
Shinnie             2
Ebosele            2
Morrison           2
Roos                 2
 
Davies             1.5
 
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
Byrne                     13
 
Allsop                     12
 
Cashin                     9.5
 
Jagielka                   9
Knight                      9
 
Ebosele                    8
 
Shinnie                     6
Lawrence                 6
Thompson                6
Ebiowei                    6
 
Forsyth                     5
 
Morrison                   4
Roos                          4
 
Kazim                        3
Plange                       3
 
Buchanan                  2
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.

A few of them together.

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

After 37 years service, Steve Nicholson finishes his reporting of Derby. No matter what you think of his articles now during the click bait world of the Derby Live website, he's been an absolutely outstanding linchpin to Derby media over the years. Before the social media world he, along with RD, were the number one source for all things Derby. I wish Steve all the best with whatever he does now, wherever it's retirement or somewhere new without the pressures of clickbait and online adverts. Thank you for all your hard work over 37 years Steve!

That's an impressive position he's got his legs in under the water. Not sure it will do his dodgy knee any good though. ?

Somebody has made a smashing job of his fingernails
