Poynton ram

First woman to referee a premier league game next week. Did she referee a mid week game at Pride Park last season? If it was her she was decent ( we won I think)

Who are the 2 potential incomings he mentioned? 

Is that battering ram of a striker still with them, Akinfenwe or has he moved on? If I am getting my wires crossed apologies but I am sure they have a brut up top

Kenny Miller? Utter waste of money. Him and Robbie Earnshaw - £5.75m, 5 league goals between them, and we made a loss on both players!

That list of incoming players is a horrorshow... can't see how anyone could do worse.
 

Only good thing about that season was home attendances, averaging over 32k according to wiki

I’d like to think if we did get back to the Prem we would have a more astute manager than wee Billy and the signings would be better than Clod and that Scottish striker whose name escapes me

If he goes in Jan I would want that conditional on him loaned back for the rest of the season. His partnership with Nelson has been instrumental in the clean sheets

I have heard that Clowes is looking for investment and in talks with 1 that I know of. A couple of American investors looking to get into football and turn Derby into the ‘next Wrexham’ with a certain Derby supporting global superstar as the face of the club. Clowes will not Sell unless he is involved in the running of the club still. 

Global superstar eh? Do we have one? Niall Horan or Jack O’Connell are probably the biggest stars unless TS is a closet fan

Just bought tickets for The Slow Readers at the Devils Arse, fantastic venue. Seeing New Order too in August at Wythenshawe Park and can’t wait. Odds on an Oasis reunion next year?

Is the fa youth cup game v Man Utd likely to be played at OT and can you usually go and watch or will it be played behind closed doors?

Couldn’t believe the size of the Port Vale pitch, no wonder NML looked so knackered. Great win and the run reminds me of Jim Smith’s first season when we started slowly and then really picked up to eventually finish second. Shame no game Sat

Glimpses of brilliance yesterday but thought Nelson and Cashin had the measure of him apart from his goal. I thought he looked a bit leaner than I remember him. Always looking for a foul, always moaning, a cut above Collo and Waggy methinks

Is he out of contract in the summer? On current form could see a championship club coming in for him. Needs managing carefully to avoid burn out and I hope Warne can get another pacey winger in Jan although from what I’ve seen of Wilson he can do a job up top

How many tckts will Wigan give us as would like to take my son who will be home from uni? From memory we usually get a decent allocation. I’m sure we get a full stand behind a goal

Plange?

Good shout, Ebiowei too assuming Palace coughed up?

The Smyths in Leamington Spa tomorrow night. Great tribute band who sound just like the Smiths and the singer even looks like a younger Moz

Going back in time have we ever signed a player on a free who we have subsequently sold on for a fee? I know  free transfers aren’t really free what with signing on fees, agent fees and bigger wages. 

Just got home and read this, that is so upsetting. B4 was a shining light even in our darkest hours, always glass full and willing to help anyone. His rallying calls were so heartfelt. His passion for the rams should never be forgotten 😢

How easily I had forgotten Wazza

Just watched Tony Weston’s ramstv interview and he comes across as a bright lad. Didn’t realise he is a scouser. Have we had many scousers in or around the first team. I’m struggling to think of any

Is this a dead rubber?

Thoughts?

is Clowes actively seeking an investment partner? How attractive is a Mid tier third division club? The thought of having to seek investment from offshore funders at extortionate rates as per the 3 amigos does terrify me but suspect DC won’t entertain that idea

Love night games under the lights and am hoping the atmosphere is decent although have a feeling the attendance will be low. Let’s hope the performance is better than the same fixture last season which from memory was a dull 0 0 again at night. 

Met him many years ago and when I told him I supported the Rams he was very complimentary about Jim Smith and said he should have been involved with the England team in some coaching capacity. A one off and I hope there is a minutes applause tomorrow night. Greatest ever English player.

Frannie’s funeral today. Mate linked to City knew him v well. Had forgotten about the “look at his face” goal v City, what a strike and the celebration afterwards…..by the way when it kicked off with Hunter which Derby player floored Bremner?

Just had my renewal through and the premium has gone up 56%. Have shopped around using comparison sites and all are quoting a much higher premium. Cost of Living no doubt to blame but still feel I am being ripped off. Anyone else having the same issue?
