David Nish, signed for big money from Leicester. He was poor for 6 months, then became one of the best players in the top division, played quite a few games for England. Same years later with Chris Powell, underwhelming for 6 months, got better and better, and played for England after we’d let him go

Congrats mini Waghorn.
Perhaps rubbishes the rumour the other day regarding Mel closing the academy down.

Scott Carson STARTS for Man City tonight! 

As long as they are clear with their intentions , might even get to sign Paddy O'Doors.

Darryl Powell - football genius.
Saw a program where his school teacher in Portsmouth had the philosophy of "everyone is good at something".
She arranged the trial for him at Portsmouth ...
 

Roger Davies. Really awkward and gangly when he first arrived ….  and he never changed
he scored  some great goals and missed some real sitters too 
nobody knew what he’d do next, not even Roger himself (pun def intended)

.....Appleby and Rush didn't text me last night so i have no news apart from the news they did not text me

Boris Johnson texted me last night saying hubba hubba big girl. 
Dont know if this is code for “I have loads of cash to buy Derby, but can you lend me £58 for a chair from home bargains”

After a character in a tv programme apparently but even at 61 I’m too young to remember it . Quick bit of google the character was Zak Bishop , the programme United but might need a more senior Ram to reveal all 

Thanks to the interweb I can tell you!
On the 4 May 1968 we played Blackpool at home in the last game of the season and lost 3-1 to finish 18th on Goal difference.  Ipswich (the other East Anglian team) were champions that year. We won 13 matches all season and lost 19. Interestingly, considering Brian's mantra was to start at the back, we shipped 78 goals.  Mind, we scored 71!
There were 5 players in that final team that we would all recognise as being part of our first great side - Roy Mac, John Robson, Alan Hinton, Kevin and John O'Hare.  Kevin, of course wasn't a Cloughie signing, he was Tim Ward's greatest legacy.  Also in the team were Reg Matthews, Mick Hopkinson, Pat Wright, Jim Walker, Arthur Stewart and Richie Barker.  Barker and Walker did have (smaller) parts to play in our future success. Ron Webster was also at the club and Alan Durban but not in the squad.
There is a good argument to make to say that as a team we never really took off until Sir Brian signed Willie Carlin from Sheffield Utd part way through the 68/69 season.  He provided the feistiness, leadership and midfield control that we could probably do with next season.  He was a small and bloodyminded, shop steward of a scouser and we were to replace him with a small and bloodyminded, shop steward of a scot in Archie Gemmill.  Put either in our current side and you would see a huge difference.
When we look back we see only success but - and it might appear to be heresy now - there were many who doubted Roy McFarland's abilities, Alan Hinton who couldn't tackle and John O'Hare who was too slow. Kevin was a hero from his debut onwards and the undoubted star of the team. There were certainly many on the terraces who objected to Brian's brashness and that he didn't deliver in his first season what he promised. The 67/68 team produced worse than Tim Ward's teams.  Had social media been around there would have been a vigorous Clough Out campaign.  
You forget too that these were the days before the internet and worldwide TV - when every single player of almost any age is widely known about - so that Brian and Peter could go and steal Roy from Tranmere under Liverpool's noses; and you forget too that the Transfer Window is a recent thing so that, in those days you could sign anyone at any time.  In many ways it made life easier for a manager and less expensive for a club. There were no agents, no cameras outside club gates and no deadline day. 

Frannie Lee was fat and over the hill, Charlie George was just a diva and Gerry Daly the product of a good team round him.
I really know my stuff.

So when Simon Jordan said Alonso was a top guy and and not a chancer, he was wrong?????????
Im shocked that Jordan got something completely wrong.......shocked!

Does anyone know if Maguire tweets about other clubs and grasses other clubs up to the EFL or is it just us?
Just wondering if he has ever raised concerns with owners owning 2 clubs internationally and using this to transfer players to get around, and make a mockery of P&S.
Also has he asked the EFL to check when a chairman who owns 2 clubs transfers a player, say from Greek clubs, how are the values calculated, are they realistic values based on current market value, or over/under inflated to help with P&S.
What about owners transferring debt from the club to their own private business. Glass houses Mr Gibbo.
Maguire seems so up on financial issues with Derby you would hope he is on the pulse with all other 23 championship clubs.

I'm claiming copyright infringement here.. My lawyer will be in touch.

Only an hour or so late lol

Maybe but the simplest answer is to close the loophole by changing the rules.  In my mind I have no doubt that the driver for this is boro’s involvement.

You've said that about every takeover bid.
Sooner or later, you will get one wrong. However, given how many there are, you'll still have an impressive record.

Imagine Becks sitting in the exec seats up in the West Stand, the whole ground rising in appreciation, "David Beckham's Black and White Army" ringing round the stadium......then it dies down, goes quiet, and a lone voice from the back of the South Stand gives it, "Posh Spice, takes it up the.........." 
 

That will be Marinakis’s new outfit soon with a bit of luck 

Only an hour or so late lol
