That's all Latin to me so xxxx xxx ?

That's why I should never try and be a smart Alec??

What have you got against VI? A former lover or something?

May not have a club/team/stadium, punished by the efl, countless embargoes, Gibson/Wycombe issues, pb not named, labelled cheats by rival fans, first win in 4 games...... Yeah i feel good for a change, same 'owd' folk trying to p*ss in my cornflakes. The majority are fighting to the end. UTR 

Not misogynistic or sexist much.

Apart from the fact that it’s probably just saved us. Do you know how huge having those funds till end of the season is ?

We’re Derby County, we’ll fight til the end. Stay positive fellow Rams. At the start of the season we would have jumped at the chance of being in the position we are now in. Keep the faith.

Ignore the graph for a moment, check the respective results for Derby and Hull over the last 6 games, and tell me again your statement must be correct. It doesn't matter what the graph says or appears to say, Hull have NOT picked up more points than us over the last 6 games.
PPG over the last 6 games is: Derby 1.1666. Hull 0.8333

I'm not sure why you're being defensive when all I did was highlight an error in your statement.
Also, as far as I can see you didn't actually say you were referring to the graph:
Quote: "Hull and Cardiff have basically both out stripped our PPG return over the last 6 games and pulled away from us"

No I'm not. 
We've got people defending him for getting himself banned for 3 and a half games that are all winnable when the squad is stretched to the maximum as it is. 
Defending him because he plays best when on the edge. We didn't need him on the edge. We were playing ten men. Stay on the ducking pitch. 
Anyway, let him go on holiday. Or perhaps he will stay and support the team he is captain of. 

Happy with that. So much so I'm going to ask the Spanish girl I danced with last night out.

Give it a rest.

Can't wait til tomorrow now, first game in over 2 years.

And higher 'bums on seats' than 3 PL games.....

He's taught Liz Truss all she knows about successful negotiating... ?

In a way, I've got a little admiration for Gibso (© @Van der MoodHoover), he has managed to scramble a deal together that results in a fantastic £0 for his football club and be celebrated as some sort of latter day Henry Kissinger style negotiator by his band of loyal fans. Kudos is due IMO.

Just a thought for people coming in from busy days at work 

Recently I benefited from a free ticket from the very generous @twelveincher
Due to a holiday I am away for the Millwall game so my 3 ST’s will be available. 
 
I don’t want anything for them, more than happy for someone who may not be able to usually attend to have them. They are in the North Upper directly behind the goal. 
 
I am in Chesterfield so may need collecting. 
 
Feel free to pass on should you know anyone who might like them.

I don't think it's controversial, I think you'd probably be in a large majority on this site! I should note that I'm a massive Stewart Lee fan, can do little wrong IMO so my opinions are likely to reflect this...
I've got time for Jimmy Carr, makes me laugh but I, like you, can recognise that he's overstepped the mark. Even his friend David Baddiel has pulled him on it. That's the thing that, in these binary times, people struggle with - There are lines between what is funny and what's offensive, they're are blurred, subject to interpretation, sometimes difficult to articulate but they are there.
I entirely agree that things are worth discussing rather than 'cancelling' but 'cancel culture' and 'wokism' are inventions of the right. I don't believe there is some huge groundswell of demand that Jimmy Carr is 'cancelled', more an outrage at his joke. He, like everyone else that chooses to offend, has it within his wherewithal to close the issue by admitting he got it wrong, not doing it again. So often people back themselves into a corner by failing to admit that maybe they have flaws, they don't get everything right, see Johnson, B as a shining example. I don't agree with the aforementioned Baddiel on everything but look at his response to allegations of hypocrisy "Btw, to add to the complexity, some papers have picked up on the fact that apparently on a chat show in 2004, I used the word p*k*y to describe my own appearance. I'm sorry: I shouldn't have used that term. We are all learning and changing all the time. Sorry again." He's not been cancelled, we move on.

That's surely not true!

Just gonna throw my two penneth in to this, but I will go with the premise of that I am a bit of a comedy/stand up nerd (although the amount of shows/festivals I go to have dwindled, partly due to covid but there’s other reasons too), so I’ve seen a lot of different stand ups doing different things and what works and what doesn’t.
Basically I think anything can be made fun of, many would argue it’s actually important for us to laugh at the darker side of life. Where more famous comedians can get it wrong is not understanding what their status is and it’s relationship to it’s target. Ricky Gervais, Jimmy Carr, David Chappelle and even Stewart Lee get this wrong from time to time, not all the time but just every once in a while it catches up with them. They think everyone is on board with what they think their status is, and most of the time a room of paying punters will lap up whatever it is they are saying anyway, so don’t realise that they can be construed as ‘high status’ punching down on a ‘low target’. That can be anything from Ricky Gervais doing Derek, Jimmy Carr’s Romany Traveller bit, Lee on other comedians or Chappelle on trans people. High status on a low target isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but then high status needs to show a vulnerability to make it acceptable and, Gervais and Carr especially, don’t show any vulnerability. Compare Carr to Jerry Sadowitz, they both do shows where ‘everyone is a target’, Sadowitz is a lot worse than Carr in that aspect, but he gives himself ‘low status’. Sadowitz says every offensive thing going, but is always seen to be punching up from the gutter. Not that it’s particularly my humour to be honest and has its own troubles as again, not everyone gets the joke with the performer and laughs at the targets. 
Anyway, those bigger comedians believe the audience get the joke how they get the joke, but because people don’t then it shows the joke might not full proof and essentially they’ve been a bit lazy. 
Just to say as well, I fully agree that stand up/comics should be allowed free speech, but bearing witness to what a ‘free thinking’ nights actually is, I just want to point out that you tend to get a very highly educated white guy telling a room of white guys jokes about Diane Abbot’s appearance. Im generalising ofcourse and a joke about Diane Abbot isn’t wrong, but getting back to status and target, you are just reaffirming a negative trope on a group that are going to agree with you. I’m not sure that’s just harmless and ok in the long term. Again it’s working out high status, low status etc
Stand up comedy at the best challenges you and what you thought on a subject. When it’s reaffirming your worst thoughts then it’s absolutely bloody dreadful and to bring it back to Carr I genuinely think he was trying to actually make you realise the horrors of the holocaust. The problem is some laugh with you, some are going to laugh at the gypsies and everyone else will be annoyed at you. How he perceived status and target was wrong. 

…have I killed the frog yet?
