The club's still alive, I'm still alive - what's not to like about the start of a new season? (plus with any luck, the amount of ballcocks that's being posted on here will taper off as we have the actual football to discuss....) - all positives for me..

Wore 24 at Rotherham & Sheff W, we have it free ready for him

I think we’ll see a more consistent and therefore more effective player this season - last season it was noticeable that he got better as he played more games. Early on he was quite a way off the pace because he simply wasn’t fit enough - hardly surprising as he’d been a bit-part player before he joined us and then had a very short pre-season. This year he should be far better prepared for the rigours of a tough (and long) season and I’d expect to see that on the pitch….

Some amazing transfer suggestions on here lately... well done guys 

Previous reports suggested that the guy does actually have (a lot of) money - but he's been critical of the Chinese government and so they won't let him take any of it out of the country, so not that similar to the Kirch - though that doesn't explain why he can't raise the money in this country via loans if he's confident he'll get to his wonga soon....

I don't know why I bothered creating a new thread to talk about Max Bird the footballer when all some of you want to harp on about is the bloody transfer speculation. 🤷🏻‍♀️
There's a thread over in the TRANSFER forum and several threads on here for you to all wallow in your doom and gloom, without bringing it in here! 

You do realise half the folk on here will take that seriously and there'll be all out panic?....

Too soon Angie!

We're had a major de-clutter following work on the house this year, and sadly my football programme collection is one of the things that must go in our new minimalist state.
Rather than condemn it to the great recycling centre in the sky, I'm offering it here in case anyone wants to relive the Mel Morris glory days, as well as other times past and present. Free to a good, or bad, home.
It consists of Derby home and away programmes to those games I've been to since 2014 up to last November when I realised my collecting days are over, including a full two season set of Rampage magazines.
There are also some older programmes of mainly other clubs, or Derby away, with a few stretching back to the 1970s but most in the 1980s/90s and onwards, featuring Arsenal, Charlton, Wimbledon and a smattering of other London clubs back in the days when I could just rock up to a Div 1 ground at 3pm on a Saturday and get a reasonably priced ticket watch the game. Also some ticket stubs for these games when I kept them. A bit of a hoarder...
I'd rather just off load them in one batch if anyone is interested. The photo shows they take up three smallish boxes.
I get to most home games in the car early locally in Derby from 11.30am-midday pre 3pm KO, so can drop off or arrange a rendezvous in Derby pre match.
If you're interested then send me a message. I'll post on here when they are spoken for. No time wasters, as I do enough of that myself.
 

Too soon Angie!

You can’t make up the incompetence of the FIA - they didn’t declare a wet track during sprint qualifying (despite having to delay the start by 35 minutes due to the heavy rain) so that Aston had to follow the normal rules and go out on Mediums rather than Softs as the track dried out - increasing the likelihood of an accident and putting both Astons out of Q3 - and then the FIA announced they’d done it deliberately to stop the teams from choosing the best tyres when they stopped using Inters!

We're now reaching unheard of levels of bed-wetting - unless you're part of Warne's inner circle (and it seems no-one on here is), then you have absolutely no idea whether we've been after any of the rumours - it's nothing more than fans speculating. If you're needing to wash your sheets because we don't seem to have been in for any of these players (without knowing whether we have or not) then it might be advisable to leave the forum alone for a few days - it really can't be good for your mental health to stress about whether we've seemed to try to sign a player that we may not even have been interested in....

maybe it was a bit harsh, but to see someone state "we haven't succeeded or even seemed to try to sign some of the players touted" just shows how ridiculous this feeding frenzy has got - if we've been in talks but failed that's one thing (though we probably wouldn't know as Warne is keeping things close to his chest), but to be upset that we don't seem to have tried to sign someone we haven't even been formally linked with is taking things to the extreme....
