I don't live in the Derby area but I have not yet had one conversation where any football fan has been anything other than hugely supportive of the situation that we find ourselves in. It's the game that is rotten, not our club.

The latest HMHB offering is just immense, they really do get better and better as they go on. Not sure if this is, or isn't, my favourite track but have a listen for a BBG moment reference 
 

Here We Go has managed to do something that is really unsual these days, be a mainstream BBC sitcom on a peak viewing time and actually be quite funny. Well done it.

I was worried that was Michael Socha for a minute. Would have been very disappointed as I love This Is England.

Ah but in a Derby accent! Makes ya proud eh? ?

If I want a song to pick me up and wrap round me like a warm blanket then it is this one. Takes me all the way back to times when my only care in the world was working out how to finish off the roof on a Lego house without it all collapsing in and whether I would be getting the Action Man with eagle eyes for Christmas. I love the layers of it as well, it is just so perfectly crafted.
Of course, if you're not in my age bracket, it will just be a theme tune to a tv series you've likely never heard of.

Jeez, we Brits sure love to knock 'em down don't we?
- When Fury beat Klitschko he went to his (effective) back yard and beat a champ making his eighteenth defence of this title
- Fury didn't just beat Wilder once, he beat him three times, each and every one in his back yard. When he fought him he was undefeated in 43 fights and had made ten defences of his title
- Fury too the Dillian Whyte that everyone had been dodging for three years, the longest ever spell as number one contender
To repeat, Tyson Fury is not the greatest (even Brit) of all time, and I absolutely agree with you that he needs that unification fight for his legacy, as @Alpha pointed out so well I won't go further. But if he's barely mentioned in 20-30 years then - back to my very first point - history will have been very unkind to him.

Thank you Clement Freud

Yup, I'll agree with that. It also kind of shows Hughton up for what he was. But no debate, I reluctantly do tip my hat to Cooper for what he has achieved - even if he does look like the illegitmate lovechild of Harry Redknapp and Janet Street Porter.
 

If only America had taken the same approach with us in WWdeux......

Detail Mr. VdMH, details.....
A bit like the Government celebrating our freedom of entry into Portugal that they have secured as a result of post-Br***t negotiations.

Oh I think Boris will want the war to last a bit longer for different reasons.... 

The US is always happy to fight by proxy, getting some other nation to take the hits whilst gravely weakening a potential rival is manna from heaven for them ?

Well worth a watch this.

Not what I said, but anyway. I said defensively he's as good as any boxer of the last fifty years. He is. Technically, his foot work and hand speed are also comparable with any boxer if the the past half century. He is a much better technical boxer then many give him credit for.
And his size means he would be hard for anyone to shift (that said Primo Carnera and Nikolai Valuev were big units and it didn't do them any favours). But there is more to being a good boxer than good footwork and a big frame, which is why I did not go anywhere near claiming he is some sort of GOAT.
As you say, definitely preferred Lewis for sheer size and strength and outside the UK there are plenty, like Foreman for example, who would have done him. But you can only fight what is in front of you, Ali beat Dunne, London, and a good few more that could have been called easy pickings. Joe Louis had his bum of the month club but it didn't stop him being regarded as a great.
Tyson Fury is not just a big spoiler and he has fought big names, it's so easy now to say Wilder was there for the taking. Most would have him favourite against AJ and he'd probably be too big for Usyk.
I like Tyson, he's a good boxer and should be remembered as such. That's all I'm saying, but you have fun digging for a squabble if it makes you happy.
