The Cheltenham College ladies claim to have invented the word CHAV, as a disparaging term for the common yoof of Cheltenham, a CHeltenham AVerage.

I kind of hoped that because he had “been there and done that” with the international game. He’d want to stay and finish the job. Great news that seems to be the case.

I seem to recall that he came to Derbyshire because he wanted a 'project'. On that basis he probably sees it as a work in progress and wants to see it through.

As you say he's "been there and done that", more than once.

Warne has come out numerous times and said that he’s not interested in Fisher, categorically. 

It would certainly be a surprise.

Woke up grinning this morning thinking about the game yesterday. For 60 minutes it was as complete a performance as one could wish for. Quick nod to Wildsmith again. We do seem to start games rather slowly (Warne's face on the touchline for the first 15 told a story!) and I've lost count of the times recently where his unshakeable concentration has given us a platform on which to build these impressive performances. POTY will be a fiercely competitive affair this year, that's for sure. Arguments to be made for Didzy, NML, Cash and Joe as things stand with a late surge from Jason Knight looking likely too. An oddly wonderful time to be a Ram's fan.

Had a glance on a Barnsley Forum. They thought we were a poor side, but they were worse. One or two realists though, to be fair.

I see that jammy Leicester have drawn yet another 4th division club.

Indeed. Let's hope his trusted source is, well, to be trusted!

Rumours that MA might return to Pakistan as Head Coach ?

Rather worrying. I keep checking Peakfan's blog for further developments/rumours.

Hoping it will end v PSG in the Champions League group stage. 

I hope not. That suggests we'd have lost to PSG. Think positive!

I'd rather not thanks.  The tiresome and past it little runt can rot on their wage bill.  Prefer to have Anya back.

I say, steady on old boy.

The clattering that Barkhuizen received in the LH corner of their penalty area in the first half was about a clear a penalty as I've seen so far this season. How the referee, positioned where he was, could have viewed it as a fair tackle is a mystery. Bolton player didn't even get the faintest touch on the ball, whilst Barks touch was light enough that, unimpeded, he would have got to the ball first. 

Sadly. what's done cannot be undone.

Once, when W G Grace was given out by an umpire, he retorted 'That was never out' to which the umpire replied 'Read tomorrow's paper'

Mind you, on another occasion, he refused to leave the field on the (his) basis that spectators had paid to come to watch him, not the umpire.

I digress.

In the 'modern' era (ended Derby career in 70's or later).

Starting from when they made first first team appearance. 

8 years or longer.

 

Fascinating, especially how many at the top of the list were in the 'Sir Brian' years. Is this because of the rigours of modern football, or the size of the pay packets?

In the Championship year under Cloughie, I think about 10 of the players played in 38 or more of the 42 matches. Hector played all 42 I believe.

Maybe an optical illusion with the kit colours but I thought we looked generally smaller (slighter) than the Bolton side, NML excepted.

I’m liking these train analogies me.

I took it to mean if the train was running
