If you were there watching us draw 1-1 at a muddy, muddy BBG against Newport County you will know we've been here before.

Ah, got it. Der brain (me, not you!)

How very dare you .
11 points is not pointless lol 😂 

I'd have him back in a heartbeat compared to most of the refs we encounter in this league

Just reading this thread makes me eager to welcome the sweet release of death.
 
 

Division 1?

Twenty years ago Kidderminster, York, Scunthorpe, Bury, Darlington, Boston, Torquay, Southend and Macclesfield were in the divison below where we are now.
Twenty years ago Brighton, Bournemouth, Luton and Brentford were in the same division as we are now.
Twenty years ago Birmingham, Blackburn, Bolton, Charlton, Leicester, Middlesborough, Portsmouth, Southampton were in the top flight
Twenty years ago Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Luton, Sheff Utd, West Ham and our good friends Forest were not
We'll be back, not tomorrow, but we will - it's almost inevitable based on a couple of things.
- Our stadium and support is big enough to ensure we will always have enough cash to make a run at it. It's not "we are entitled to be there" but it is "we have enough cashflow to be able to be there"
- It really only takes one good team (sometimes only a few good players) to get there. We've shown that before, others have also. It wouldn't be enough to keep you there but it is enough to get you there. But if you continue to get it wrong, it won't happen by divine inspiration. Sunderland, Ipswich, Charlton, Bolton, Portsmouth and others have shown that.
 

The more it changes the more it stays the same - if you've watched The English Game you will recall the 1879 FA Cup Final was full of scandal for teams paying players (at all). Brian Clough was constantly at Sam Longson for more money, and often got it. The stakes are higher, the risk more pronouced but - ultimately - the top twenty in the country play in the Premiership. Derby are more than within their rights to aspire to be one of that twenty.

In China that line wasn't there. 

I'd enjoy watching a telephone directory being read if Michelle Keegan was in it. And please don't say she is, under K.

Europa Report.
No spoilers, except....
Arthur C Clarke warned them.... All of there worlds are yours except Europa. Use them together - use them in peace.
Pillocks didn't listen.
Seriously, I really enjoyed this quite gripping film.
Gerry Daly/10.
 

Paradise: German language sci-fi thriller set in a dystopian world where people can sell years of their lives in return for cash. Turns into a good old fashioned good guy / bad guy road chase in the end but mainly because it's really hard to see where the film goes after the initial premise is understood. Still, it's an OK watch and a darn site better than many Hollywood bish bash bosh explosathons.
Promised s much but ultimately failed to quite deliver so let's give it a Lewin Nyatanga / 10

Think the result of Oppenheimers work was a bit loud to be honest. 

Watched Brooklyn last night. Really enjoyable drama set in the 50s about a young lady who leaves Ireland for America to find a better life. Tommy Smith/10 😊

At ilkeston town today and they have 4 in Jamie Hanson, Connor Dixon, Nathan Tyson and Matt Yates, worksop have Paul green 

I don’t think he would have beaten Mayweather but the ref made sure he had no chance

Genuine head exploder - I had spent years not understanding why I was suffering till I saw this, it's the single most important change you could make to your life today.
 

Nothing makes us so special, and sometimes it falls together in one moment - happy days. Look, I don't question it's been far from the greatest of starts but to be sharpening the pitchforks after twelve hours of football is just not the approach I would take. Especially when the first half (OK - the second half of the first half, only 20mins, I get it) of the Posh game was as good as I have seen us play for a long, long time.

Twelve out of twenty four* players have signed since last close season - think it's a bit harsh to suggest he's working with a steady and structured squad.
* - that's 50% for the mathematically challenged among you

I also invested in the optional extra gun required for the 2 shooting games.

Was at the Reggaeland festival in Milton Keynes today and found myself standing behind those pesky Yardie Rams

Bristol City have Knight, Roberts, Weimann and Andy King who are all ex-Rams
