So the next general election will be fought between two parties with hardly a fag paper to separate them just throwing out stupid insults and accusations, the tweet saying sunak does not want child sex offenders jailed is as pathetic as boris jibe at starmer over jimmy saville,
ffs is this really the best we can muster in terms of the governing classes , the electorate really need to come out and vote smaller parties in a big way to give these clowns filling the ranks of both main parties a real wake up jolt 

Laugh it off? It’s a crass comment by Lineker. You do know what Germany did to some 6 million million Jews don’t you Roy. 

I have no knowledge regarding the contractual agreements between Lineker and the BBC, but I doubt whatever it might be that if Lineker had kept his comments to simply ‘ I am opposed to (or uncomfortable with) the Government’s current position on immigration’ it would be business as usual tonight, and I would be avoiding MOTD. HOWEVER, he decided he wanted to directly associate the current position with what was being considered in Germany in the 1930’s. There is no reasonable correlation I can see, and I am still waiting for his supporters on here to give me examples of the ‘language’ being used by Ministers in the UK that might seem similar in any respects to that espoused by Hitler or anyone of the National Party back then. I am going to watch MOTD tonight. Quite looking forward to it.

Bump. Come on, someone help me out here.

Last September I was playing football with my grandson,and hurt my knee. I didn’t bother the doctors because the knee gradually returned to near normal, but still quite painful at times. It was such a time I winced, and my wife “advised “ me to see the doctor,which I duly attended, knee examination, all OK, I asked for a PSA (having seen the information at Pride Park) check which he duly gave me the paperwork. The test came back 7.1, I’m over 70 so 6.5 is regarded as normal. I was dispatched to the Derby Royal, had the anal examination, ( for the first time) small lump found. In five weeks I’ve had a MRI scan,my prostrate biopsy done, and a QT scan,and I’m now on a hormone treatment plan. It appears they’ve caught the tumour early, and the prognosis is good, they say it will be eliminated. You do lose your dignity at times, but not going through that door and having the exam you could lose a lot more.
A shout out to the doctors and nurses at the Derby Royal, they have been absolutely terrific, informative, and very understanding, and caring.
 

I suspect he’s from iI’son, nuff said!!! ??

? that sort of adds up as I thought you had referenced Il’son in the past hence my original comment. Born & bred there myself. Will make sure I get my facts right before diving in next time. COYR ?‍♂️??

Obviously moved up in the world since... In that my current Chad hovel is so near to PPS, I haven't even set off yet!  ??

My apologies my friend. I will exit stage left ?‍♂️

Jessie Marsh is the favourite. It would be amazing if he kept Southampton up at the expense of Leeds. And if Forest took the other spot… Best Christmas ever. 

Well, Rosenior never won Manager of the Month, did he?
Guess that’s settled.

We don’t win many of these so let’s enjoy it.

Oooof, that’s gotta sting for those still in love with him. ?

All a matter of opinions and we’ll have to agree to disagree. Your confidence is my arrogance. I believe Frank would have got his time at Chelsea further down the line come what may & would have been better prepared for it with a few more years in the lower leagues under his belt. Marriott or Bennett to start at Wembley??? A no brainer!! One was a proven goal scorer one wasn’t. Just my opinion of course and neither of us can prove ourselves right ?

Agreed, those at Moor Farm I know spoke very highly of him. Just that I think he tried to run before he could walk.

Get that.
Chelsea couldn’t spend remember, so whilst you’re right, they probably thought at that time, he was the right person, dressing room legend, had Jody who had worked with half the kids coming through and rolled the dice on the fairytale.
He couldn’t resist either. What peeved many here, was the fannying around, when all knew it was likely. Sure we got good compensation but it pretty much gave Cocu no pre season planning and a real bum hand given we had lost the good loans. Not Franks fault, but I reckon that’s the sour taste for many.

But would Morecambe take him? His stock is pretty low at the moment!! A busted flush who got ideas above his station way too soon.

We are in the third division - I expect to beat those teams in the third division or the championship and would be disappointed if we didn’t 

Mine’s not ‘hate’ just don’t get the management career path he chose. A virtual lifetime in the game, his families history in the game, he must have had all the advice & support imaginable yet he believed one season at Derby qualified him as a premier league manager. If he is\was serious about a long term career as a top flight football manager then, in my opinion, he’s gone a funny way about it. I was taken in by the hype surrounding his time at Derby and enjoyed the ride up until he announced his line up for the play off final!! Thought he could have handled his leaving better, it left a bit of a sour taste, and led me to conclude that there was a little arrogance in his decision making. Hence why I think he has tried to run before he could walk. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but he needed to serve a longer apprenticeship as a manager before believing he was ready for the top table. 

Not hate , obviously the way he left and few other bits irk ( I like Jodie and wish him well) , 
for me the bit that irritates is everyone in the media and you do the same above making excuses for him , bigging him up when he has done nothing , to listen to the media he came in and did a fantastic job taking little old derby out of the wilderness and into the play offs , he had 3 top quality loans , spent a fortune on players and went one game further than rowett the season before and we were competing or in play off for a few seasons before ,,
Chelsea he was crap tommy t won the champions league with the players frankie had in disarray and sinking like a stone 
everton he was crapper but there’s always an excuse , never the fault of darling frankie??‍♂️
 

Listening to his post match today, don’t think I’ve enjoyed listening to a manager as much as PW. 
 
For a guy who wasn’t particularly smart footballer (rather the hard working grafter), he has an intelligence you don’t see in many managers
