RIP Neil. And thank you

Not the best hand admittedly but even so he still managed to drop his cards all over the floor. And those post match interviews, and in that pretend Manc accent too.. Jesus mop

No. But they do have a carrr parrrk they could flog

Five sons and daughters now without a dad all because of one piece of utter lowlife scum. Absolutely horrendous. RIP

Yes took the family there instead of the SAS survival course I was considering. Got my loyalty card too which means I get unlimited unfried fried eggs

I used to get an overnight stay allowance in a previous job and so to make a bit of a profit I would source my own B&Bs which were invariably cheap and cheerful. One that sticks in my mind was this dump of a place just outside of Nottingham centre (Hyson Green?). I booked a no smoking room but when I entered it stank of 1,000 smoked Craven A's and all surfaces were covered in tobacco tar. I went to see the landlady and told her I'd specifically booked a no smoking room; 'is anyone smoking in there now?' she said 'well no, but..' 'Well there you go, it's a no smoking room then'. Said with a deadpan serious straight face. Same delightful lady served me my 'full English breakfast' the next morning. Main issue is she'd obviously forgotten to turn on the hob as the 'no frills' sausages and bacon were practically raw, the 'fried' egg decidedly unfried and looked like it had just been cracked directly onto the plate. The white bread was actually grey and smothered in a thick greasy poor man's Stork margarine, and the coffee cup had more culture than NIC. And all served up by mein host wearing a dressing gown and filthy slippers. It wasn't good

Fantastic memories of being in MRN that day. SJM did very well but tbf the defence were immense at protecting him as much as possible. I remember thinking how small / slight he looked when he put on the gloves and took up his position. Fab days!!

More and more PL clubs are just proxies for oligarchs and dodgy regimes now. Think we'll stick with FV and our Sharon

First signing: John Stones

Soon be renamed the Gallows Gate End and the new Khashoggi Stand

Likely because in this case he's got away with it before

That is so true. Southerners seem to have an allergic reaction to the first lane. If it's a four lane motorway this becomes the second lane. It's weird d

When it was North West Water the rezzies were regularly dredged and the gullies up on the tops regularly cleared, meaning more capacity in said rezzies and more supply via the run off water. Years of UU stewardship has put paid to that. But hey, that's progress

With the queues and clueless bar staff there's no need for a ban

Full on scrap at Asda Middlebrook petrol station this morning. Massive queue and then some utter knobber tries to jump the queue by driving in through the exit end. Parks up at a pump with his car facing the wrong way, gets out, picks up hose and then a guy who should have been next goes up and lamps the twat. Cheers all round. Some people in this country are beyond the pale. I'm afraid the Dunkirk spirit is long gone. I just wish Rudy's volcano was nearby to chuck the fckr in.

Probably more to come due to the irregularities on the accounts. Accounts that should have been submitted last season and if they had those points would have been deducted then, meaning Derby would have been relegated. Morris himself says the accounts are 'about £4mil out', and if true that's a four point deduction. Enabled them to stay up last season I suppose

You're probably right. Absolutely stinks how the EFL seemed to go out of their way to get Derby to avoid a points deduction though

Wycombe chairman saying he is going to sue Derby / EFL for wrongly avoiding a points deduction last season for 'accounting irregularities' if, as now seems likely, points for this are going to be added to the -12 points for impending Administration. Speculation that this will be a minimum of four points for the irregularities, up to the full nine. Wycombe were relegated by just one point. As many pointed out at the time it was just unfair that Derby merely had the points deduction commuted to a fine of £100k and deferred to a later date (which now won't be paid as Derby are going into Admin). The whole thing stinks to high heaven and I hope Wycombe get some sort of belated justice, whatever that can be. One almighty fuck up from EFL as per. The difference in revenue between the Championship and L1 is being quoted at the £10m mark.

Never liked Derby and Forest. Right cocky bastards with a misplaced massively overblown superiority complex. Cloughie was just a once in a lifetime flash in the pan lads. He's dead now

No one has said that

Last time I looked FV weren't staffing the bar. It's the same number of bar staff as it ever was, irrespective of ownership. It's just much shitter now, that's all

When we were in the PL and averaging over 26k a game it was nothing like as bad as it is now. So your point doesn't really hold much water when crowds are now way lower

Wouldn't matter if they were giving the ale away for free in the NSL at the last Sarurday home game, the bar staff hadn't got a bloody clue what they were doing. I know cos I suffered every minute of it

Yep. Been taking the piss for years these men

My brother lives in Adlington and after the game had to get two buses to go about three miles.cos the service bus has been scrapped. He said that tmrw he's going to have a pint after the match and get the c6pm train back cos it was such a ballache
