What was the xC (expected conviction) on Marinakis though? Maybe he's been lucky so far, and if he keeps getting himself into the wrong positions, eventually his luck will change.

Zip your fly’s up, that normally helps 

Let’s hope they do, Derbys defence isn’t the best and they could easily slip up doing that. Come on you Carlisle. 🥳

We only have the keeper with the joint most clean sheets and the fewest goals conceded in the league. 18 goals conceded at home all season.
I'd actually go so far as to say we DO have the best defence.

If that's what we're working to, football is dead. VAR has to go. I'm not sure I could stand the Prem any more.

They won't play a full team and they won't be at full tilt. Bolton will smash them, especially if we go behind and they get their tails up. It's on us.

Let the following be a warning regarding the dire consequences of pitch invasions.
Back in the early '70s when I was about 9, me and me mates went to a night match at the BBG. As was our custom, we paid a tanner to go in the boys end. As was also our custom, come half time we nipped over the fence so as to get into the Pop Side.
As we walked along the edge of the pitch, a photographer was blocking my way, but in going around him, I strayed over the line onto the pitch. Then, disaster! A stalwart steward, spotting my incursion, swooped. Having single-handedly foiled the mass pitch-invasion, the heroic man in the tabbard frog-marched 9 year old me out of the ground and told me to clear off.
As well as having to navigate my way home alone, I also had to tell me mam that I was early because I'd been chucked out.
Now tell me that pitch invasions are a good idea!

So you can get fined for not playing a strong team in the EFL cup vs the likes of Sheffield Utd u21s when you are unable to still qualify from group, but you can play a joke team in League One meaning another team can go down?

Did notice that.  If the Gallagher brothers owned a draughty gothic mansion, this fecker would be the housekeeper opening the door.

Saturday can’t come soon enough. I am driving my wife crazy…
Me: I have something to tell you.
Wife: What is it?
Me: It’s important. It’s big. It’s life changing.
Wife: Tell me.
Me: Promise me you won’t be angry or upset.
Wife: OK. Tell me.
Me: Are you sure?
Wife: You’ve lost your job?
Me: No.
Wife: You want a divorce?
Me: No.
Wife: You’ve been having an affair?
Me: No.
Wife: Well, what is it?
Me: RAMS ARE GOING UP, OLE OLE! 🎵
😂
 

It's disgraceful, doing that against a team fighting against relegation. I'm sure that Burton and Cambridge won't be happy. 
It looks likely that we'll definitely need a point on Saturday.

Seen this proudly heralded on here and rightly so, but it does still seem to have gone under the radar a little, unless yours truly has simply missed it. Thirteen away wins in a single season is bonkers and in these lower divisions, it feels like it's even harder, with some teams pulling out all the stops to ensure their pitches don't encourage actual football. And that's before we mention the 'special attention' ritually handed out to any player with attacking ability.
Thinking about this a little, it wasn't that long ago that we couldn't buy an away win and even more recently, our home form was shocking with only our away day prowess keeping our noses in it. On reflection, I'm quite proud at how we've ridden the bumps, worked hard and have improved all the way to the line. Going into the last game we've a 14 to 13 split for home and away victories, so our home form in the second half of the season has actually been very good too.
Having a quick tot up as I read the article, a great stat emerged, no xG, I promise!; in winning the 13 away games, we outscored our respective opponents by a staggering 31 goals to 6 which yields an effective rate of over 5 goals scored for every one conceded. See! I told you it was a doozy! 
Have a read of the article linked below if you fancy a quick bask in the reflected glory. Handy way to distract yourself from how slowly this pesky working week is going.
Whadddya mean it's only Monday!?! It must be at least Wednesday by now!!! 😡

If ever there was an advert for 'not playing football', this is it.
Teams trying to stop us by playing football - W 10, D 8, L 27.
If that's the best anti-Warne argument you can come up with, don't bother.

This made me 🤣  Sorry about the swear word 🤐
 

Can't you go on his log in?  If he don't have an online account just register in his name with his fan id?
 

Phone them. I did when my ID went iffy and it took about 2 mins for 2 tickets. They were great 

I do want Posh to win midweek. But come next Saturday lunch it's all about us getting out of the traps fast and overwhelming Carlisle. Get in front and keep turning the screw.
This isn't done yet.

I think most Rams fans would concede there's some doubts around his pedigree for the Championship, but look at what he's done most lately, at a time where we we told the team would be dead on its legs. Look at the form he's delivered and this despite the lads dropping like flies at times.

Assuming we finish the job on Saturday, he WILL be given his chance to show that he has the game to prosper at Championship level and I think that's fair enough. Whether or not he will succeed, of that I'm less certain, but I think he's more than earned the right to prove his doubters wrong, or not, as the case may be. 

VAR will be in the Championship before long, too. Football just seems to get less enjoyable as seasons go on, I don't know if I would want to be in the PL either.
If you don't spend enough, you get battered, if you spend too much, you get punished. Oh and the only way to avoid punishment is to sell your best players to the top 6 to avoid more sanctions. Every season finishing 17th is a positive.
I'd much rather the big clubs f***** off to the Super League, take their VAR with them, let football go back to how it used to be.
