We're getting to the interesting stage of the season, where it's not about the opposition but about ourselves. The teams who are successful will be the ones coping with the pressure best.
The opposition may be fighting relegation and giving it everything, defying their lowly position, teams with nothing to play for may play with the freedom of pressure and play better for it, other opponents at the top will be going for it.
If I've learnt anything from all the failed years of trying to get into the premier, it is that you can't pre judge how the opposition will play on any day.

As I said to someone else above, the joke only works if you embellish a little. You need to understand that jokes only really work and can be funny if you don’t overly focus on facts or reality.
For instance, you might be asked why the chicken crossed the road. Now there could be any number of amusing answers, but unless you actually know what the chicken is thinking the reality is you have no real idea why the chicken might be choosing to cross the road. Unless of course it is being chased by a fox, but that isn’t amusing either.

Banning would be more extreme than the comments.
I just wish it didn't feel like I was logging on to a Derby County forum where the club were in 10th place and 6 points outside the top 6.
That's pretty much what it feels like.

You must have seen the comments I'm referring to, barely spend much time on here myself yet I've seen the signings are crap, the league is crap, we should be walking it. I'm not just pulling random crap out my arse here and it's not merged with comments from Twitter/X, don't even read replies to anything or view hashtags.
This forum, the comments are there, even the Forest forum has referenced said comments.
The Charlton TV co commentator, he was referencing fan podcasts, not sure which one(s)
The reaction to even drawing a game is way way over the top, we can literally not drop any points whatsoever without Warne having his balls under threat from the pitchforks.

To be fair, Adams doesn't seem like the kind of guy who gets pissed and decides to sleep it off in the middle lane of the M1......

archram reacted to IlsonDerby in Academy thread 23/24
Seemingly outplayed by Buxton?
adult football is so so different to academy football. Most of these lads are nowhere near first team ready yet (and that’s no criticism) so the constant hankering for them to be given first team minutes right now is frustrating.

archram got a reaction from mozza in mo55y's Prediction League updates, 2023/24 season.
Hi Mozza, I got win and 1st goal scorer so should have 3 points.
This must be a thankless job so I’m saying thanks for keeping it going!
If that’s a bit cheesy it’s because my spell checker elevated you to Mozzarella!

archram reacted to Braziliance in Charlton Athletic v Derby - Match Day Thread
Evening Rams, first time poster on here and a Charlton fan with a bit of a soft spot for Derby.
I just wanted to share my thoughts, vlog, and get some ideas for the fast approaching away tie (first visit). Unfortunately, I lived in Nottingham for 3 years and never quite ventured to Derby, only for a solo house viewing once. What's some good spots for away fans and what are the good touristy things that represent your city in a good light, I like to try and capture the place I visit on my vlogs if I can.
Congrats on the win, I didn't think there was much in it, and thought it was a classic away performance, you slowed the game, frustrated us and had a moment of quality on a mistake to seal the 3 points. My thoughts on Warne are, I believe he will get you promoted, whether it's this season or the next, but I think he'd have yous struggling in the championship. I think back to how good yous were in the early 2010s, and it's night and day. I remember a game at the Valley where we won 3-2 but you played liquid football at times, I've seen a few of your fans say the football is negative and hard to get behind, I'm always stuck in two minds if results matter more though overall.
Anyway here's my vlog:
My uncle Antnony features on here and he's a life long Ram, not sure if he'd be a familiar face.
Always had a soft spot for yous for two reasons, the first being we shared an FA cup final (way before my time of course) and that I actually donned one of your kits when I was younger. It was the away strip from the late 90s, my uncle was trying to convince me to be a Derby fan and bought me it. Funny story is, I ate too much pizza one night and threw up all over it, resulting in it having to be thrown away, a week later I attended the Valley and the rest is history! I was probably one bad pizza party and a trip away from Derby to being a full time Ram haha.
All the best for the season, I hope to see some of yous at Pride Park and look forward to my visit. Good luck in the hunt for promotion, hope yous can do it 👍🏻

After the win at Charlton and going 2nd, B4 would have been over the moon, really hope we can go up for B4, in the name of B4. Once A Ram Always A Ram.

archram reacted to TomTom92 in James Collins
Im not saying he’s free from criticism but I do think he’s been unfairly critiqued at times this season.
Last year he underperformed and I had no hope that he would come good. However, this season he’s pulling his weight at the very least.
I guess it’s a forum and everyone’s entitled to post on who and what they like. But I was just surprised to see his ability under the microscope when we’ve got players who have contributed far less and seem to go under the radar.

archram reacted to May Contain Nuts in James Collins
Exactly this
The fact that he's trusted to be the penalty taker surely counts in his favour, and somewhat diminishes the stat-pad argument.
There are or have been plenty of teams where their main striker isn't the designated penalty taker, and I have in the past seen people use this as something to criticise the striker for, ie 'he's a good striker but only with instinctive finishes, useless when he has to use his brain or the situation requires composure' so some credit for taking them is warranted.

archram reacted to Kernow in James Collins
We missed two penalties against Morecombe last season and didn't win the game as a result. A win in that game would have had us finish in the play-offs and may even be a Championship side right now.
England could be reigning European champions if penalties were easy enough to just be disregarded.
Every goal is worth the same, I don't really care how they go in, scoring penalties shouldn't be a way to be negative towards a player...
