Netherlands are still so grateful and proud of the allies, for liberating them, sadly our own country do not share the same vibes.
Lest we forget the poppy appeal is to raise funds for ex servicemen and women, who are in need of help, and there are many, if you do not wish to wear a poppy, please put a donation into the tin.
When was the last time England played in red and white the flag colours, this is a total disgrace.
Yes i am an ex serviceman and proud of the flag and country.

Hi Derby fans, I know you have bigger fish to fry in terms of wanting Warne out, but thought I would provide a little information on the current Northampton side to provide you a little context before tomorrows game.
We are very much a yo-yo side between L1 and L2 and as most expected we are struggling this season. We have not lost any game by more than 1 goal but that is not helping our points tally at all. Injuries have been a massive issue the last 12 months or so, its rare we have had less than 8 out injured. Whilst injuries are part and parcel of the game, when you already have a squad expected to struggle it creates a bit of an impossible task.
We are unlikely to have any of of injured bodies back for Tuesday, which means our best CB and best striker are injured. Considering both boxes is where we need to improve that is not good news! 
Our manager Jon Brady has lived in the area for decades since moving across from Australia. Played for lots of clubs in our region and then got the permanent managers job after managing the U18's. He is extremely passionate (maybe too much so as gets booked so often), but he is also passionate about the club and area which really has built a link with the fan base. He has also done a fantastic job so far in my opinion, developing our style away from just pure long ball which we have endured a lot of over the last few decades. We are not total football by any stretch of the imagination but have the ability to retain the ball far better now. That being said he is clearly getting frustrated at the lack of available bodies and the low budget he has to work with in L1. Despite our lowly position he is still pretty much universally backed by the entire fan base.
In terms of danger man you are right to highlight Sam Hoskins. He has gone from a player who was very much a marmite player amongst the fanbase to a club legend. He has always worked extremely hard and has played in every outfield position for us during his time here. The problem was his work rate would often mean that he was seemingly undroppable which meant he was an easy target. However Brady has recognised that he is comfortably our best finisher, meaning he is now less involved in build up play but much more in the final 3rd which has seen his goal tally rocket. He was the first player to score 20 goals for us since the early 90's and is now top 10 all time in appearances and goals.
Two other players that stand out for us (that are currently fit) are defenders Sam Sherring and Marc Leonard. Sherring is a young defender who is comfortable on the ball and is continuting to develop, i have no doubt he will go onto bigger and better things. Leonard is on load for the second season in a row here from Brighton and is arguably the best natural talent I have seen in the CM for us. We have had Matt Grimes and Matt Crooks here in recent years but Leonard just keeps things ticking over effortlessly.
I wonder if we may set up with a back 3/5 (I know not popular here!) Something along the lines of....
                       Burge 
           Willis Sherring Monthe
Odimayo                               Brough
               Mcwilliams Leonard
Pinnock                                  Hoskins
                    Simpson
 
I am going for a narrow 2-1 loss which is very much the story of our season. A point would be massive for us but despite your recent troubles there are still several levels between the sides.
Looking forward to being back at Pride Park and will post my thoughts after the game. Enjoy the game and rest of the season!

Here is proof of a meeting this morning showing the coaching staff arriving.
 

Warnock could be going to QPR according to the BBC, would be interesting to see what he could do with our lot, love to see him at Derby

warne or collins,or offer £5 for the pair

It was obvious within 20 minutes that we needed to switch from 433 to 4231.
He has the tactical awareness of a turnip.
 

If Ed Dawes is having issues then i wish him well and soon be back to good health.
After a couple of seasons listening to radio commentary from Ed Dawes found him so childish and totally biased, i am a ref that was a foul, then listening to the ex player informing him that it was not a foul or penalty.
Have not listened to a game this season, decided i could not take anymore of his commentary, all the best Ed.
 

Washington has managed 142 games at Championship level (predominantly in his preferred position,  CF), scoring 18 goals.
Sibley is at 97 games, scoring 7 goals. The majority of those games played on the wing, yet the majority of goals scored when playing central. It would only take a season and a bit to play more games at the highest level Washington has ever managed, and if played central consistently, he'd easily score more too.

100%

Sibbo isn't our Greek god laid low, but he's got more firepower and creativity in his little toe than Washington. He needs a run of games in the no.10 position with the freedom to run with the ball, be creative with it, take risks and have runners around him to open up that space. 

Have you ever thought that might be because Waghorn and Sibley never get to take set pieces in a match situation? They are long out of practice.
Sibley has reliably taken excellent set pieces for Derby since junior level.
But his touch is sadly absent with no pre-season and very few match minutes so far this season. He'll be discarded again well before he gets time to build up match fitness. Get yourself a Club who loves you, Louie, look what it's done for Morgan Whittaker! 
Waghorn is better with central set pieces but I remember him taking them all for Ipswich back in the day and looking lethal. Is it age or lack of practice that has caught up with him?

Shame he did not achieve his potential with Derby, however Birmingham are still taking a high risk gamble for he could break down again in the pre season friendlies and they will be stuck with his wages whatever they are with his Birmingham contract.
Wish him all the best delighted he his off our books

Roy Mcfarland, loved the guy as a player, however he was a poor manager with Derby, Cambridge and Chesterfield, it was a pleasure to watch him in the glory days of our club.

Roger Davies cup relay 5 - 3 against spurs.
Lorry driver cannot remember his name, staying over night in London went to the match at 3 - 1 down decided to leave the ground for had to be up early, at breakfast at the guest house, the hostess said you did well last night, he said had all on not to tell her to trot off, anyway on the road he decided to stop at a cafe and purchased a paper and what a surprise he had with the score 5 - 3, the pub regulars in the village of Crich took the mick out of him for weeks, and in Del Boys words what a plonker!!!

Those of us who have supported Sibley through thick and thin have finally got what we wanted - a system that suits him going forward . Now it’s time to unleash some of those 25 yard thunderbolts .

3 years ago when he was the best player on the pitch against promotion certainties Fulham and smashing a hat trick past Millwall, a proper 10- 15 million premier league bound player.  Same as Knight who practically had Buendia in tears away at Norwich when he dominated him to the point Cocu stated he had more potential than any midfielder of his age he'd coached.
Then we decided to spend 3 seasons putting them on the wing and this year at full back.

Osula 5 goals in limited game time, Dobbin 5 goals played in most games,

28 shots! how many would Sibley have scored.
Must win game and Sibley comes on with 5 minutes to go, the lad can score from any distance and angle, he has far more experience than Dobbin yet Dobbin gets more game time, is it in the loan contract that has to have game time every match? for he Dobbin as not pulled up any trees with his loan spell.
Sadly Sibs hope your agent finds you a new club, for you have been treated very badly by Derby County, go and prove yourself elsewhere for it will be our loss.
