Turk Thrust

The American phrase “from the get go”. Not sure why but it annoys me. I know it’s from “ready, steady, go” but what’s wrong with the good old “ from the start”? Or “from the beginning”?

Woodford Green, NE London. Staying tonight. Back after the match

So we’ll be liquidated because there’s not enough time to go down the legal root ?

Hmm is this a botanical term?

Lots of us aren’t from Derby.

Correct. It’s not just Derby citizens, it’s fans from all over the county and country and abroad

Yes I suspect that he got it the wrong way round

Grumble grumble grumble....In the name of decency though, can someone request a bread trim or shave to Grabban. 

 

I’m trimming my bread at the moment so it fits in the toaster

I am reading (digitally) a book called "What you think you know a bout football is wrong" by Dr Kevin Moore, founder of the excellent Museum of Football in Manchester. If you have not read this I can recommend that you do.

In one chapter he claims:- 

"Most fans are not loyal to one club – they play the field
The idea that most fans are loyal throughout their life to just one club is a complete myth. In the myth, the young fan (always a boy), aged five or six (or even younger), is taken to his first game by his father, and immediately swears total and unquestioning allegiance to his father’s team for the rest of his life. And it was his grandfather’s team, and his father’s before that, back to the foundation of the club. But of course, this is completely untrue. Those fans who claim to be undying in their support are often lying, and have dabbled with other teams – not least when they are youngsters in school, when, due to peer pressure, almost every child has to support one of the big clubs."

How about you? And be honest.  

I first watched the Rams at the BBG in 1958, but in the early 60's followed Spurs as a second club mainly because of Jimmy Greaves.

 

What a load of rubbish!

I still have fight in me but the closer and closer it gets to Feb 1st I'm more inclined to say f'k it do want needs to be done to ensure we still have a Derby County Football Club and that **** *** Gibson knows this.

You know, I’m getting more and more inclined to favour liquidation rather than pay those two anything at all. Am I bad?

Perhaps we should sign West Ham goalie Areola (that’s one for the more erudite amongst us) ?

When he was at Derby, he ran around like he was wearing platforms. Somebody really should tell him platforms went out in the 80’s.

Don’t get me started on his bloody haircut.

I still liked him though despite, well, everything

The response just doesn’t read right. I doubt very much if that was sent from EFL.

Or this

"There is a dark reason for Deadman’s Lane in Wilmorton; it almost certainly led to a mass burial site for victims of the 14th century Black Death"

As we’ve gone massively off topic, I may as well wade in. Blagreaves Lane was originally Black Graves after plague burials though I had always thought that Deadman’s Lane and Blagreaves Lane came about from the 1665 plague
