I love your implied confusion Curtains…..I will try and keep it nice and simple. You were comparing Wazza with Sir Alex ….yes, he had a difficult start at Manure like Wazza has had with us…..the big difference being though he already had established credibility with his record at Aberdeen, unlike Wazza who hasn’t even got his badges. Understand the difference ?

Couldn't give two hoots about any other club

Moderators, Surely that’s worthy of a ban. ?

It might be an idea to use the “Dads Army” theme for when players run out at PP 
I mean ffs Jagielka Davies Baldock Kazim Aluko Forsyth 
 
 

Great news 

He's failed at pretty much every club he's ever been at and his attitude has been widely regarded as atrocious. He's basically stolen a living in a profession based upon a promise that has never materialised. I'd rather stick one of the kids on than give this time waster a shirt. 

Every club he's ever been at has banked on this...Fergie has made a career for him by saying this. Let's not be another club to fall for it. He's 28... and there's a reason why he's failed at every club he's ever been at. 

Who was questioning the attitude of CKR before he signed? A lot of people were questioning his ability and rightfully so, but he never had the same issues that morrison had. Completely different situations.

In early 2011, Morrison received a 12-month referral order and was ordered to pay £1,445 in costs and compensation after admitting two counts of witness intimidation.[70] After an assault charge was dropped when Morrison's girlfriend refused to testify, he was convicted of criminal damage for throwing her mobile phone out of a window and advised to undergo domestic violence counselling.[71] In February 2012, Morrison was involved in controversy after posting a homophobic threat on Twitter, responding to criticism by calling another user a "faggot".[72] He was charged under FA rule E3, which governs use of abusive and/or insulting words including reference to a person's sexual orientation, and accepted his guilt.[73] He was fined £7,000.[74]
Morrison was remanded in custody on 31 July 2014 after being charged with two counts of common assault against a former girlfriend and her mother.[75] He was freed on bail after three days in custody.[76] In August 2014 he appeared at Manchester Crown Court entering not-guilty pleas to two counts of assault, one of assault causing actual bodily harm and one count of harassment. A provisional trial date was set for 26 January 2015.[77] In November 2014 he was found not guilty of the harassment charge of threatening to throw acid in the face of his ex-girlfriend and have her killed after the Crown Prosecution Service withdrew the charge.[78] On 15 January 2015, Morrison was cleared of all charges of assaulting his ex-girlfriend and her mother.[79]
No thanks.

And the big thing is, we're not doing what we did so many times and paying stupid money for them. Waghorn, Blackman, Butterfield, Malone etc would all have probably been decent enough signings if we'd paid what their previous clubs paid for them, not what we paid for them.

Sone Aluko is the kind of player that always causes us massive problems when we play against him, but will immediately become useless the moment he signs for us.

I like to think I’m calm in a crisis, however, why do  I always find getting match tickets on our website stressful- even as a season ticket holder getting tickets for a friendly? 
 
exactly the same experience as some others; in a queue for at least 20 minutes despite the screen saying I was  a minute away only to get kicked off & had to re start.
Took a minute or 2 to realise the payment lettering was in white & not easily visible against the background.
(It brought horrible memories back of trying to get tickets for wembley!!)
but so happy to get our 2 tickets, don’t care at all about having to wear a mask, or what team either club put out or, (controversially) the score 
just so happy to be going back & watching our team in our stadium very close to our usual seats
 

Maybe Southgate was hoping the 5th penalty would be a dead rubber...and wouldn't have even been taken.

To those around in the 70s: Is this what it feels like to support a good and successful team? I could get used to this. 

The footage is all provided to them I think. So whether it’s bbc or itv you’d always get the same shots. It’s not like there’s a separate ITV camera and a separate BBC camera. 

Remember Barnsley last season..just like us only escaped relegation due to another clubs points deduction...yet managed to incredibly reach the play offs.That could be us! Nothing surprises me in football.

Amazed at how many people heard this as awful and terrible having seen him.play pretty much zero first team football.
Kids come and go at football clubs. How many have gone on to be world beaters?

Personally, I think the re-introduction of fans in the ground will have a massive impact. Our results nose dived the second we were no longer allowed to attend.

I hear Derby are resigning from the Championship and  applying to join the Walking Football League...I reckon we'd have a chance!

Every single manager at Derby said the same - he isn’t fit enough to be selected or start ! 
 
the most annoying thing about this is the fact that the EFL have made us lose this financial asset regardless of us wanting to play him and I think their actions on this are nothing short of disgraceful and it needs broadcasting very loudly around football circles 

At least with these two we're Covid proofing the backline, seeing as they'll all be double jabbed.

The weird thing is, going into last season, I thought we were a striker short of being a very good squad.  We'd kicked on under Cocu from when Rooney arrived, we'd addressed most of the major needs in the squad (with Matt Clarke back, Jozwiak and Marshall), we'd sold an asset but replaced him for a fraction of the cost (Byrne for Bogle) and so on.  Obviously things didn't pan out that way. 
This season, if you look at who we've lost compared to last season, it's only really Matt Clarke (who was excellent again) and Waghorn (who was poor for most of the season).  We've lost quite a few warm bodies - Gregory scored a few, Roberts showed the odd flash, bits and bobs from Menghi etc.  But bar Clarke, is there anyone that we've lost that will *really* be missed?
Obviously we're not in a good position at all, but there's plenty of reasons to think it can be turned around.  We desperately need a striker and 2 central defenders, but beyond that, the first XI isn't too bad.  Marshall/Roos, Byrne, Shinnie, Lawrence and CKR are still decent championship players. Jozwiak has had a decent Euros and should hopefully either be more settled and kick on, or be sold for a decent amount.  We should hopefully have Bielik for more of the season than last. Lawrence missed a lot of games last season too, he was missed. Knight, Bird, Buchanan have all got another year of championship football under their belts. Sibley started to establish himself back in the team towards the end of the season. McDonald, Ebosele, Watson etc have started to get first team football.  It's reasonable to think we can get 3 or 4 loans in relatively easily. With Rooney's name and a guarantee of first team football, I suspect we'll have a fair few top-end prem youngsters here.  And given the state of the transfer market, there are going to be a lot of players around on free transfers, so we can pick up a bunch more experienced warm bodies, if we need to.  
I'm not trying to gloss over the state of the squad, but it's not an unfixable problem.
