What a nice feeling to able to jump in the car, go to a football match and pay £5 at the turnstile without any faff about customer numbers, ID, tickets etc. I know its a one off due to the sad loss of Preston's owner, a chap who appears to have been extremely popular with the good folk of that corner of Lancashire, and I'm sure we will join in with whatever show of respect takes place there, but getting ready to leave it just sank in how life was a bit simpler bitd. I hope there's one or two who woke up this morning, rang a mate and said "shall we go to the match today?"

This thread sums up everything that is wrong with our country. Our National Health Service is being privatised without a whimper and yet people are falling out over Superman. We're ducked.

Hungary played well, worked hard and were not too shabby on the ball. I thought Southgate's only mistake was to take Grealish off when he did. Grealish against tired defenders is what you want late on so we probably missed a trick there. The only other complaint was the lack of quality at vital moments, probably down to match fitness. Kane doesn't look sharp and Sterling has not played much recently. Qualification still should be nailed on, we'll be hard to beat in the World Cup but will we have enough nous to sneak through the big games against the very best. Hopefully, as a squad we'll be mentally stronger after the Euros adventure.

Pretty much…

Boulton and Poom both better than Shilts. For Derby anyrode.

Your wasted on here Eddie. Most days, allegedly 🤪🍻

Hope his shutter still works.

Dogs in the 70's were used to being shot at by scrotes with air rifles round our way.

Absolute rose tinted optimism. The EFL will find a last minute way of taking just enough points off us to relegate us, I can't believe you'd think anything else. Still, going down as FA Cup Winners will soften the blow.

I would presume the administrators are not emotionally involved in their task other than a successful outcome for their company. They have complete access to all the information available while we only have bits and rumours. If they believe there is a case to be made with the points then it could potentially make us far more saleable. To liken them to a pound shop Mel Morris makes you appear like you want them, and Derby, to fail.

Yeah, eventually that will be the case. It will probably be flattened and left empty for a few years like the old Bamfords site. Developers only want to build on greenfield sites it seems.

Ashleys still a bit of a Bamford/Gibson though.

Bit unfair on the Geordie lad really. He is pointing out that Newcastle were a decent premier league outfit before Ashley took over, several years with a top 7 or above finish then once Ashley took over a decline with 2 relegations afterwards.

I watched the lot from the first minute they went live, just happened to have the TV on, I had just got up and was not due in work until late shift. The feeling of watching the 2nd plane go into the tower live was unreal. Some of the footage of that day ive never seen since, I suppose it was too horrific and has been censored. Watching people jump from 90 floors was what kept me awake at nights for weeks after.

Not sure I saw that Steve. Two very cheap bookings for England players against a pub team. Should have been a red card for Andorra. The officials did ok overall though.
