I'm a tired middle aged man. I don't have reserves of rage to bring to bear on topics around what might go wrong, or what should have been done. I'm sad that Mel is walking away, sad for us and for him, that the effort in sweat and treasure he's put in to getting us promoted never worked out. Blame him if you want, but few of us could or would have done better. He deserved to sit in the executive box at Old Trafford and The Emirates and watch our team mix it with the best again. I'll always respect him and wish him well.
The new guy is a clean slate, a fresh start. We have a new season over the horizon and if we can just win a couple more games and stay up, positives in the academy and the managers office and hope for the future.
Good luck to him, and I hope the takeover and the relegation battle conclude successfully in this next couple of weeks.
Up the Rams. It's all about the hope.

Quality post ?????

Yeah, I don't think any animosity goes deep. Tbh I don't believe Fury has anything like that for anyone. Probably explains why he's always able to mess with opponents and they don't know how to take him
I favour Fury but I think some of the doubters about AJ are very harsh. Think they're looking for a weakness all the time. The guy is capable of beating anybody in the world. His Povetkin win is massively underrated. 
I think I'd prefer Fury to win but I know that mostly I'll feel bad for the loser. Great Champions and it's almost a shame they aren't at opposite ends of their careers. Almost. 
Finally two boxing champions fighting at the right time for both men. 

Every man and his dog has an opinion on Derby County vs the EFL. I hear a random 1990's West Ham midfielder has put his oar in now.
I don't want comments on my club from Ian Stinking Bishop.
 
There. Surely that's as low as we can get?

He needs the thrill of the ball hitting the back of the net. 
Hope that happens for him at Stevenage. 

I haven't seen enough to form a serious opinion on the lad, but I hope he gets game time. Could be a player. Dean Sturridge looked keen but a bit 'meh' until he suddenly looked amazing. JHI could be the same.

His little cameo on Saturday was excellent. 2 minutes on the pitch, and a great crunching tackle after closing a defender down.
Hope he does well.
 

Can't help but like Frank, but he made a (very understandable) mistake in leaving us for Chelsea, then drastically overpaid for potential last summer. He's been on borrowed time for a few weeks.
I wouldn't want him back, even if had a vacancy. Not entirely sure there's as much substance behind the inspirational presence and aura as maybe some believe.
Similar inspirational presence and aura now resides behind the managers desk at Moor Farm, and it seems to me that there is a big healthy nugget of substance behind Mr Rooney as a manager too. 6 weeks ago, I was decidedly nervous about him, but right now...Frank or Wayne? Only one winner for me.

I didn't specify which planet's hours.

We should know in 48 hours

I just keep hearing what Eddie Hearn said, that he's going to clean up. Creates a bit of interest, even though the opponent tonight wasn't able to remotely deal with his power. Was worried after that second knock down that the lad was going to get seriously hurt.
Here we go then.....everyone reckons Joshua mid to late. Hard to disagree. Where's your money?

Gotta admit, there's nothing quite like big HW UK fights. Even with some good fights this year this is the cup final stuff. Home champions fighting at home. Buzzing!! 
C'mon AJ!! 

Not seen much of the bloke to be honest. Clean as a whistle that though.

Can't stand Okolie. Meant to be fighting Glowacki which would have been a proper test.

Cannot let that contimue.
 

Boxing gets a bad rep. My girlfriend gives me a bit whenever I pod out....'so violent, how can you blah, blah'. Then, tonight, I see some article on the BBC about the UFC fight where some bloke gets sparked by a kick to the head while holding his opponent's other foot.
So I look. Try it. See what you think.
I get the athleticism. I get the spectacular KO element. But I do not appreciate or respect the spectacle. All this UFC, cagefighting ******** is just so much crap. 
Boxing. That's where the contest is, where the skill is to be appreciated, where the class is in fighting sport. The rest of it can do one. not interested.

On the bright side if you do get rid of him whoever comes in will have plenty of players to choose from. 

Sad times.
 
Sad, sad times.

Sad times.
 
Sad, sad times.

He can't get any images of Kenny burns to compress enough.

Liam Delap on the bench for Man City....take it that's Rory's lad?
