Perhaps they can't afjord to come over now?

I’m torn on Wayne Rooney.
On the one hand I despise the fact he signed with talk of him as an understudy to Phillip Cocu while winding down his career. I felt his presence immediately undermined Cocu who didn’t deserve that at all, and his post lockdown performances on the pitch were horrible. We were stuck with an out-of-shape superstar who was seemingly undroppable, and his presence in the team made Cocu’s job of getting results all-but impossible. I then hated the fact Rooney benefited from Cocu’s exit with the managerial job despite his evident lack of experience. His ensuing results towards the end of the season did little to sway that opinion.
However, on the flip side, none of the above was Rooney’s fault. As a player he was on a natural steep decline. Anyone in his shoes would have done the same. The club signed him on ridiculous terms with a stepping stone into management. A big Championship club may I add. And the club later appointed him manager. I can’t hate him for simply taking up the opportunities which have come his way, as much as I disagree with it all. 
My displeasure is directed more at those who made the decisions. Simply terrible.
We’re stuck with Rooney, and he and the players need all the support they can get.

etc.. etc. ?

How does this theory add up? You can allegedly catch it in either place. The injection is supposedly to lesson severity. Zero to do with transmission. 

Healthy, unvaccinated people pose zero risk.

GET HIM GONE AND GET HIM GONE NOW . 
 
 

This is what you get when you hire a celebrity.

The photos must be recent, the one of him asleep he was watching back our highlights from last season.
 

Are Kellogg’s giving them away in corn flake packets now ? ?

A very special piece of DCFC history from our most successful period, from the greatest management partnership in football ever, the man who spotted the players to make our team ! Peter Taylors club blazer & Tie from 1972/74 up to when he resigned, entrusted to us at the Rams Heritage Trust by his daughter @WendyDickinson5, 

I was working in Anslow (near St. George’s park) on Saturday and I was absolutely convinced I saw PC running past me, thought I was going crazy but judging by the comments on here I probably did. 
 
Probably waiting for the 20ft sticker of him at PP to be taken down so he can take it home.

What we would give for a Rob Hindmarch now

A thing of beauty. 

Another piece of old tat, Paul Blades no2 Centenary season shirt from 1984/85, a season spent in the old third division but it was all to change soon with the arrival that season of King Arthur ?♥️

The idea that there aren’t plenty of managers who would take the job is silly. We can look at league two and below and not suffer a dip in quality manager wise 
They wouldn’t even have to do much to improve on the current manager.........2 wins in 15 would be an huge improvement!!!!!

So, it's not all bad news then?
Bye.

This must be a good sign that things are going to work out the next few weeks.
This and Salford are clearly Rooney fixtures so this is a sign at least that he will be sticking around.
Just need to go get some players to play now.

No a bad fixture to have pre season. The recent ones of note I recall were Rangers and Villareal.
Hopefully we can raise enough gate receipts from the Man U game to survive another couple of weeks.

Used to drink in the Cambridge (latterly the Windmill) in Dairyhouse Road many times on match days.

Also I seem to recall from my days at the Wardwick local history library that the area near the Ground was bought from the Reeves family hence Reeves Road. Their farm was Leacroft farm and so Leacroft Rd. Dairyhouse Road was where they milked the cows.His daughters were Catherine and Augusta (both streets) his son was Malcolm hence Malcolm Street. And Grayling Street is named after the farmer’s donkey! There’s probably more Reeves family connections such as Douglas Street and Olivier Street but my memory isn’t what it was

I used to live in Dairyhouse Road and can recall those evening matches complete with localised smog from all the cigarettes and pipes.
