Sorry about that.

Same here. I'm thinking future minibus rides to France/Italy in Champions League?

These Portsmouth lot all seem pretty decent.

Deep, emotional, melodramatic adverts, spanning a person's/family's life. Advertising some garbage like McDonalds or kitchen surface cleaner. My aim in life is to never watch a Xmas John Lewis advert. Still haven't. Betting adverts. Especially "it matters more when there is money on it". Advertised by presenters who work with Paul Merson shown on programmes with Paul Merson in them. Surely a slogan that should be banned. I think the only adverts I do ever see are during the cricket as they are too short to bother turning over or muting. I think the advertising that works for me is in the underground stations in London. They usually are for films/music/events etc I haven't heard of and I will actually look them up.

You shouldn't have moved to the US. You shouldn't have moved to Cornwall. A true fan would live round the back of Frankie & Benny's, then spend every game moaning at the players, going for food at 35 mins, before leaving on the 80 min mark.

It could be that, or it could be "the conspiracy theory"?

Great result! The Bolton forum must be in meltdown. "Why do we always mess it up?" "If we can't beat Shrewsbury, we don't deserve to go up." "We have the best squad in the league, the manager is the problem." Etc etc

@DavesaRam the above is not an opinion. You are prestenting it as what actually happened. When you are challenged on it, you then can't use the tired defence of "isn't this forum supposed to be about opinions?" That is a poor defence when someone gives an opinion, then is unable to provide anything to back it up. It's an even worse defence in response to something that has been claimed as factual.

Yes, but many people who have been watching Derby for that long regularly experience our "worst ever performance", so no surprise they think the quality is bad!!

That is a great point and something the more tedious Warne critics often seem to forget: there is another team playing too! I suppose if you go into the season thinking "we are the famous Derby County, we'll just brush these insignificant little minnows away" then you are probably going to disappointed when you don't win every game 6-0 looking like Brazil in the 70s. At the same time though, teams have often come to Pride Park and looked to keep it very tight. They did the same once we became good under Steve Mac 1, which is why we never looked quite as amazing under him as when he first joined. As teams set up to frustrate us, our passing style suffered and we really could have done with options to get it wide and crossed into the box in the air. We became a better team this season away from home, where our style was more suited to teams coming onto us more. We've rarely ever/never been so good away from home, but less people see these games live. We've struggled a bit more away recently, as even the home teams have set up to frustrate us too. The Stevenage nadir was probably because it was Stevenage, maybe the worst team for us to play away to for the way we setup. Even on Saturday, we raced into a 2 goal lead, never looked in any trouble at all, yet people are genuinely concerned we didn't score from open play! Should we have thrown men recklessly forward, risking a counter attack, but hoping one of those extra players could have converted at least on of the many crosses flashed across the goal? I guess Saturday doesn't really count though, as it was "only" Leighton Orient, "the sort of team we should be beating". Even though they have taken points off our promotion rivals when we've beaten them twice. As other posters have said, it's a shame that some posters seem to have taken so little joy from what could be our first promotion in nearly 20 years. I don't know where this purity in football took hold. After what we've been thru, you'd think people would be even more thankful for potential success. I don't remember any of it when we went up with Billy. It's like West Ham fans who want Moyes gone...these are glory years for West Ham. They won a European Trophy last year and have barely got close to winning anything in decades. Anyway, big thanks to Warne and his team for getting us this close.

I think the time to have this discussion is over the summer. The time to be worried is mid-August if we haven't bought anyone in. Imagine what we would say about Forest Fans if they were in this position talking about next season.

I made no reference whatsover to the reaction your posts get. Not sure why you mentioned that. I just think you look rather foolish for continually posting bile vs the likes of Bradley, then just because he scores two goals, he suddenly becomes a potential leader. The negativity you've seen on the field has got us to 2nd and 2 wins from promotion. If we do go up, will you instantly post how you were continually wrong about Warne and the promotion shows he has done a great job. Please tell me the words for people like me, so we don't have to read anymore of your posts. I would be genuinely interested to see what those words ars, as your complaints of me are very mild, yet would result in bannable insults.

Same here. Me and kids were wondering why the announcer was totally clear but @sage nearly impossible to hear.

You need to blend in with the home crowd so will have to be an obscene gesture.

Maybe Israel could bomb the areas where many of the teenage girls who recently protested against the government come from? That will learn them.

It's because you've posted a lot on this forum and have articulate and seemingly well considered views. You do tred the line on arrogance though, which winds people up, especially when you seem to be posting just to get reactions. Why post the same opinion on next season in the matchday thread every time we win? It's not even relevant to the match. The people who post personal remarks about Warne and players are nobodies, no one really cares what they say. You are a celebrity on here. With great power come great responsibility.

Great day today. My kids loved it and one of them bought himself a lovely black, green and white Derby tracksuit style top. Great win and loved the tenseness at the end until Bolton result came in. Loved Bradley scoring his first, let alone his second. He was pleased and most the crowd seemed too. Was thinking about some of his haters on here, but can't be bothered to read their expected comments pre-match. I wondered if one of them had made the game when in the first half, Thompson let a pass get past him and go out for a throw near the left back position. "You're sht Thompson" shouted some moron in a grim, nasalish Notts accent. We had scored the 2nd about 5 minutes earlier. Someone gave the fool some stick, to which he responded "Well, he is sht". Hope they haven't got a ticket for the last game.

I wouldn't say deflating. Maybe more infantile and offensive.

So you slag him off nearly every week, and Warne for selecting him, regardless of how he actually plays and how he had been clearly improving for a while now after a poor start. Then he scores 2 goals, and suddenly you think he is a leader an potential captain material? Your opinions are obviously built on not a lot. Who would have thought it.

First home game of the season for me today. Kids are getting into the promotion push though and looking forward to it. I got to away matches at Oxford and Charlton though, so 100% record so far.

Not much has changed over here.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/apr/13/liz-truss-book-says-husband-predicted-premiership-would-all-end-in-tears Noting that the first leadership hustings against Sunak was held at Elland Road, home of Leeds United, in the city where she grew up, Truss writes: “In my speech there, I made reference to Don Revie, the legendary manager of the 1970s Leeds team that had won the league who then went on to manage England.” Clough, Truss writes, “took over from Revie at the club in 1974. As dramatised in the film The Damned United, Clough tried to shake up the team and get them to play better … the players rebelled and Clough was sacked after just 44 days. “In the final days of my premiership, I had said to my private secretary, Nick Catsaras: ‘If the Conservative party bin me after six weeks and I’m the Brian Clough of prime ministers, then so be it.’ I lasted 49 days.” I guess the only real difference between Clough and Truss is that Brian had major success before and after the period Truss is referring too. I'm not really sure about the preceeding Don Revie success analogy beforehand too. Maybe Gary Monk might be a better example of a Leeds manager. Ok for a bit, didn't last long at Leeds, then disappeared until the last few weeks.

Maybe in for Pigeon Street? Although Thundercats was a little too homoerotic for me. I preferred lesbian icon Long Distance Clara.

Ridiculous. You haven't included Jimbo and the Jetset with that username?!
