 anyhow great start for us and hope Wales can put in a performance later this evening 

….. a bad one and get hammered with any luck.

Before anyone gets defensive, most Welsh fans would support North Korea before us.

Oh it’s a long trip home, I remember watching Ted McMinns debut when we lost, seemed to take for ages.

Pee at Watford Gap?

Well yes, otherwise it's Watford Ga

Checked in the hotel, had a pint then fish and chips on Southsea pier.

Good to see you’re not eating on an empty stomach. ??

'Living'

Despite having a lot of time for Bill Nighy, both Mrs Grumpy and I were very disappointed. If the reviews are to be believed, I must be a Philistine?

Cinematography is decent (nothing to get overly excited about though) and that's about it, very underwhelming.

Yeah, sat here waiting for my car to be serviced,25,000 miles in 19 months. 

Imagine how high it would be if you didn’t go to away games on the train!

What do people think the away following will be like and how likely is it that tickets will make general sale? 
I guess what I mean is, hypothetically if someone lived in a small town not far from Newport and wanted to go see the mighty rams in the fa cup, would they be sensible waiting for the away tickets to go on sale, or to buy one for the home end and sit on their hands throughout the match?

Buy one in the home end, then sell it if you manage to get an away ticket maybe?

Haven't got used to Warne yet. Don't think that post-match interview really did anyone any good. Just weird things to say that can't possibly come to good

He was bang on, we let them dictate in midfield, they are a tall side and we kept it in the air for them.

It wasn't my car, but I do remember someone in the sith form at school had an old fiat uno after passing his test and he gave me a lift in it once. get in, he starts the engine and vroom vroom that's a meaty sound, so i says "what engine is in this?" "oh, 900cc, the manifold's loose."

That wasn’t a Fiat Uno, it was a Tie Fighter.

Dave Mackay after any home game in the bar at Derby dog track.

Colin Todd on a flight from Copenhagen during an international break when he was Bolton gaffer.

The whole Chelsea squad approx 1991/92 pre-season tour of Ireland in the same hotel as me. Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Dennis Wise, etc. The one who stood out as a real nice guy was Paul Elliott.

Peter Schemichel coming into a restaurant in Prestbury as Mrs Grumpy and I were leaving.

Went to school with Steve Sutton.

Ouch

Livingstone showing Brook how to catch. ?

Curran gets Shan Masood, get in.

Three dot balls and a wicket, take a bow Sam Curran.

Tbh it’s the first game in 3 years where I felt their manager was outplayed by ours 

Were they both playing?

I’m sure many people are aware, but for those who aren’t, anyone travelling by rail on a non Advance ticket to Bletchley, can break their journey (I.E. at MK Central for a few beers), then jump back on for the short hop to Bletchley.

How many penalties will we concede here? Do they use VAR at this stage in the cup?

VAR only works at Anfield in the penno area they are attacking. ??

Registered and purchased 3 tickets, got as far as accepting card details then threw me out cos PostCode wasn't local, only option to phone the club. 

Ah well

Just Google a business address in MK and use that. In fact how about:

MK17 0NA (which is a pub on the outskirts of MK town)?

It's not as if they are going to post them out, good luck.

Anfield?

You need to brush-up on your geography of Merseyside, SHH. ?

Are Derby fans congregating is any particular area of the city center?

Thats just the max tariff....hotels.com would have that for £330.....?

............ and given you a 'credit' towards your 'free nights' of £30 based on the average room cost less taxes!

Let’s be happy that whatever your opinions on tonight’s opposition, they’ve charged us a THIRD of the price for tickets than another North West big club did several years ago.

Chicken & mushroom, preferably in a pie or in a nod to the 70’s a vol-au-vent.

Collins had a shocker today.

Gonna try again and probably fail to get Glastonbury tickets in the morning. 

Just pop in your AirPods at full volume and find the nearest muddy field.
