Cough- we are not on fire - we are effective - West Ham are not a top club - they are in the premiership where they exist and never try to do anything more 

West Ham finished 7th and made the semi-final of the Europa Cup.

The season before they finished 6th.

And they have some very good players.

I'd day they were a top club.

Or, if not die, at least be prepared to lose an organ or two. 

I'd give up a kidney before my electric blanket. 

My air fryer would be worth considerably more than my spleen.

And tbh, my appendix is doing very little whereas my coffee maker never takes a day off. 

What about you?

How does that work?

I sometimes buy plant-based meals, so can I say I'm sometimes vegan? Or would I have to throw by leather sofa away first?

They're starting to be good at being a Paul Warne team.

It's encouraging but let's not get carried away. 

As the Buddha never actually said, but probably wished he had, happiness is the journey, not the destination.

We're on a journey with the immediate destination being the Championship, and I say, let's get ducking carried away and enjoy the journey. Then if we don't quite make the destination at least we had fun trying. to get there.

I hope you'll make some soldiers to dip in it.

If you enjoy Gomorrah (as I did), I recommend you also watch Subarra, Blood on Rome. I don’t think it quite reaches the heights of Gomorrah but still an excellent series IMO.

Trailer looks excellent. Netflix?

Nottingham on Mother's Day. 

Last saw him at a Xmas special, same venue, compared by Johnny Vegas. 

You'll do anything to avoid me ?

Just snaffled two tickets for Jim Jefferies next March. 

I hope he's still as sharp as the last time I saw him.

Seen him 7 times. The first was at the seedy Apollo in Orlando and it was more than half empty. He sold out every time after that as it was his satan/god tour that then went viral. 

We are driving up for the Sheffield gig in March, is that the one you're going to? 

Got front row tickets for Jimmy Carr in August at the brilliant Hall for Cornwall this morning. Saw him a year or so ago but its advertised as all new material and it's my favourite UK venue.  

For those of you old enough to be watching during Arthur and Jim days when we got promoted.

Do you remember those close wins that we stressed over in the second half?

No?

Me neither.

Get a grip people.

Look at the table, just look at the table.

Phew,I'll take that????

Possibly the single best thing about that is that the teams above us are crapping themselves!

To paraphrase Isoroku Yamamoto who was probably talking about the US after Pearl Harbor, but maybe not...

Derby is a sleeping giant. But when it awakens the world will tremble

It should have been 6 or 7, but we turned the screws on ourselves, and had to hold in for the last 10 minutes. 
 

Perfect!

Unlike @Mucker1884 who turned the screws on himself just after half time and barely lasted 30 seconds.

Cheltenham finishing well. Don’t think we’ve managed this lead cleverly 

Or maybe we did Baldrick, maybe we did.

Come on people, wtf is happening?

3 minutes... can I hold on!  ?

I'm about to explode

Radio Derby say we are scrappy and scruffy and should have put this to bed.

Exactly the traits you need to get out of this division and what people say we haven't been showing.

Kudos to Warne!

Here's a pic of me wearing a hideous velvet suit with Roy.  Directly behind me is your mate Ron Webster but I doubt you can tell from this pic.  It was taken at the Mayor's reception after we won the league in 1975.  Do you recognise any of the others on the photo?

 

I wanted to use the laughing and crying emoji at the same time!

Brilliant pic!

I shared this before so apologies if you read it then and I'm sounding more self indulgent than usual. But Roy gave my dad the shirt that he wore in the Charity Shield by way of thanks for him helping with his testimonial (I think)  his work  and I ducking lost it when we moved to the US. Still gutted about that because I wanted to give it to @loweman2

The woman on the right looks frighteningly like Princess Margaret. Was she a Ram?

And yes, I now I think about it the old man was initially friends with Jack and then later John.

A lot of staff thought the old man was a director because he was friendly with so many and then one day they asked him to become one.

I can still remember him telling us in the Sportsman Lounge after he'd been down in the players lounge. He was beyond excited.....until he found out how much cash they expected him to put into the club!

I have no clue what the amount was, or even if I ever knew, but I suspect it'd barely cover a days pay of a top league player nowadays. 

One person on here when I posted the photo originally asked what Roy Orbison was doing there not knowing it was my dad. Funny though!

Is it John Kirkland? He was mates with my dad too. 

The guy next to Sam looks very much like John Inman!

Im free Mr Longson!

@oldtimeram here he was with Sam as well as Harry, Shirley and my mum and dad. Harry looks so playful. Good times.

If that's your dad, I knew him quite well.  He used to go in the Sportsman's Club at the BBG.  I never realised he was your dad.  

Indeed. 

I can remember the guy you mean although not his name.

He was an acquaintance of my dads but not a close friend I don't think. I remember him, but not like I do Ron Webster, Harry Brown, Earnie Hallam and some others who were regulars at our house.

Booked to see him in Mansfield in July.

Saw him the week before Christmas in Plymouth, excellent show. He also did a fairly long set with almost half an hour before his warm up guy even came on.

Hoping to see his missus play at the Hall for Cornwall, but that isn't until; July of next year and tickets aren't on sale yet.

Got Jim Jefferies, Frankie Boyle and Ricky Gervais tickets for March and April.
