  1. It was a question, not a statement, so I'd appreciate it if you'd dial back the righteous indignation, but I'll explore the theme a little further. Haiti is a murderous s*******. Who's fault is that? France's? They were kicked out by the inhabitants well over 200 years ago, and the colonial population killed. Not their problem, I would contend. The USA carry some blame as they occupied in the early 20th century and massively damaged the country. 75 years later though, they've hit rock bottom. Is that anything to do with anyone in the UK? Not for me, especially when we've got our own roof to fix. How much blame do the inhabitants carry for their own circumstances? Some? None? People kill each other in the absence of civilisation. That could almost be a workable definition of civilisation. Can a civil society be imposed? Even by a nation as powerful as the USA, backed by it's allies? The girls of Afghanistan would say the evidence is against. Until the people of Haiti stand for themselves, they'll live and die on their knees. They could be helped, and I'll bet they will be, slowly...but it's on them to learn their lessons.
  2. I hope you like real ale. If so a pub tour is recommended. Brunswick, Alexandra, Smithfield, Exeter Arms, being my pick. Countryside is lovely...not so much in March though. Enjoy.
  3. At what point does a people begin to take responsibility for the state of it's nation. You can't impose peace, social responsibility, law and order etc from outside, or can you?
  4. On the back of 4 straight wins, the 4 point gap and the 4-0 in the reverse fixture, I'm feeling quite relaxed and confident, and forecast a win. Cue disaster...
  5. I know her brother very slightly. He's been known to express the opinion that she's a sandwich short of the full picnic too.
  6. Beans do not belong on a breakfast. Beans belong on toast. Tinned tomatoes with a fry up. Acidity complements the pork fat beautifully. No need to thank me.
  7. I chuckled way more than is strictly necessary.
  8. Came here to say similar. I love the stats, the what ifs and all of it...but by Monday night it is time to park it again for a bit. Lose at Northampton and it's all to c***.
  9. We'd just had two or three convincing performances and wins and he didn't want to change approach? We won. Everything else is fluff.
  10. Unsure if florist troll, or an extreme case of neurodiversity. 🤔
  11. I can't remember the last time I was that nervous at a game. We scrapped and battled and nicked our goal and dug in. Loved it. Thanks Paul Warne and the staff, thanks to the players and thanks to everyone who was there cheering on the Rams. A full house in full voice is a marvellous thing. Emotional day. 7 huge games left. Win 6 of them and we're up.

    HUGE!

    Ginormous. Bigger than NML's, err, reputation.
  13. Actual nervous tension in my house. This is what it's all about. CoYR.
  14. Come on...if you're wavering, now's the time. Get a ticket bought. Magic with a full house.
  15. Has someone's repeat prescription lapsed? Jeeeeesus.
  16. 11 points from our last 8 games will give us our biggest ever points return. I think we can cut him all the slack in the world and get on the Warne bus until May at least.
  17. Not convinced, but he's mustard on xG.
  18. We entertained. Dynamic, aggressive, front foot football. Won, deserved to, and sent a noisy crowd home happy. I haven't read through but if anyone's moaning they need to take a moment to consider their life choices.
  19. "Whoop", and, might I venture a second "whoop" into the bargain.
  20. A draw is the best result, 2 points dropped for each side, and takes a point out of the league. Time for us to go on a run of wins. One or two of the others will. Got to up the standards of play for that to happen.
