Sorry, I had meant to post my comment under the "which players should we keep for our upcoming season in the championship?" thread. 
In fairness, the OP in this topic said it was just a feeling and they weren't meaning to count chickens...

The phrase "jumping the gun" springs to mind.
Bolton now only one point behind, three of the remaining games at home, albeit one against Pompey. Last game against Peterborough who will be resting players ahead of the playoffs.

Shocking from Paul Warne today, did nothing to stop Bolton getting three points at Bristol's big team.

Excellent marketing video by Brackley!

An announcement that could have remained a mystery.

DCFC receive a parcel from Texas USA it's coming home...
 
 
 
 

Ok ok it is my birthday tomorrow. Promotion is what I’ve asked for wrapped up in Championship paper 

I moved to Canada in June 2023. It's been a great move for me, but apart from family my connection home has been through Derby County. I wish I saw more games during this season, but I've done a lot of hungover early starts to watch us grind out the wins that got us into this position.
And here we are. Portsmouth away seemed very significant. It's poetic in my own personal way that Derby will get promoted in the first season I can't go to any games. But from thousands of miles away, I finally feel a bit of confidence.
Long story short - This Wycombe car park ambulance chasing lot made me hate a lot of modern football, and I'd love to turn these over and tell the football world we are back.
As a Brit now in Canada following on and loving every second of this season...
We're going to win this one. Quote me, screenshot me, @ me.
And we're getting f****** promoted.

Please please NOT Under Armour (massive supporters of hunting especially in USA) or Adidas who continue to use kangaroo skin for their boots while all other major suppliers have agreed to stop

Derby promotion = CAKE
Forest relegation = ICING
Birmingham relegation = ENORMOUS BIG FAT CHERRY ON THE TOP 

Nice and annoying to be proved right. At least one of your goals was result of LB going awol.
Told you! I also said one of main strengths was character.....not giving up. Few would have
predicted Moxon would smash ball in from 25 yards...not sure who was most surprised..him,
his team mates or the crowd. A long range shot into Fratton End goal is always cause for mad
partying..as long as it's Pompey who score.
Impressed with Derby generally and your support was great. 2-2 was fair although you guys were
probably annoyed at dropping 2 points.....was fine with us...another game ticked off list.
Good luck Rams...hope we go up together and.....one more message:
Hello Richard Haines.....Derby fan and dad...also my son. Love ya.

Worst poem in the world.

I would have come on last night but I'd had a few 'settlers' before the game and followed up with a couple of glasses of wine when I get in to decompress  - so was less capable of typing than usual.
Proper game of football last night - not sure whether the conditions were a leveller or just added to the spectacle - but suspect both sides were happy with the draw, whilst wondering what might have been.
I thought you were set up really well (credit to both Warne and the players for executing) - you looked better than any of the other top sides who we've hosted this season.  I genuinely hope we both make it up via the automatics.
Take care of yourselves, Rams.  Hopefully see you all next season in the league above.

In 2007/8 didn't we have 3 different goal scorers? 🥷

Starting soon and not to be missed:

The Historic Dockyard is one of the best museums I've ever been to... Well worth a visit.
But living down 'sarf, I have to put up with Portsmouth supporting friends and their kids forever singing "play up Pompey" at me.
