Other club football

This was a surprise to me but they had parachute payments at the time. He left when they ran out.

I see Sunderland have put out a semi reserve team for their away game tonight at a no mark European team, and are losing 1-0. Just like we did.

Burn this heretic.

I love Stevie Cooper and nothing will change that but I just think at the time we were the perfect club for him and he was the perfect manager for us and it was just magic. Trying to transplant that effect to Derby isn’t going to work (even if he’d take it, which seems highly unlikely.)

Coopers had two failed attempts lets at jobs since he left us, he probably has one go left. I highly doubt he will think Derby is the place for it.

Mr Marinakis, is that you?

I see your Greek Overlord era and raise you a Gary Megson appointment.

Just arrived at the hotel in marlow we are staying in tonight for a wedding and Notts County stayed here last night.

Reminds me of the time I was staying in a golf hotel not far from Derby. I spotted Mick McCarthy in the corridor and followed him into a room where he was about to brief the Ipswich players ahead of their match against Derby the next day. I asked him to make sure they twatted the sheep shaggers. Got stared at and left pretty quickly. I was pissed at the time.

Will be slightly surprising if this Everton v Chelsea match finishes 11 a side. It's very chippy.

Yep. I've just placed £3 on a red card in the second half.

I reckon the Rogers / Garner 'coming together' would've been a yellow card each had Rogers not already been booked. So the ref - rightly or wrongly not wanting to cross the red threshold - left it.

Everton fans booing Martinez as he's stretchered off after clearly being knocked unconscious is a choice.

Watford's win over Charlton in the lunchtime kick-off wasn't ideal for Derby.

Providing he was clearly conscious I'd probably have joined in. Utter cunt.

Sentences I never expected to type presents 'we're all Stoke and Doncaster today, aren't we?'
Well, I am. Got to do something with Forest and Leicester Tigers playing tomorrow and Bayern's latest defensive clown show not kicking off until 5.30.
