    10 Goals Short or 10 Goals conceded too many?

    Agreed. When it's our day, we're fine. Pretty good. Decent. Sometimes excellent. We need to learn what to do when it isn't and how to make it our day when it's not going our way because when it doesn't go our way from the off, we're often pretty pathetic and massively lack ideas.

    Parking at Derby

    Last time I found some street parking on an industrial estate. Was about a 10 minute walk to ground. Couldn't tell you where it was though.

    I've met Chris Webb a few times and the guy is very down to earth and decent. For balance I've also always had good encounters with Paul Maynard who I don't think makes any secret of the fact he can't stand Benton.

    In the GOOD OLD DAYS you could sell access to influence to a fake sheik sting and no one batted an eyelid. It's just all part of the rough and tumble of our great democracy. It's only since Greta Thunberg, Chris Packham, Boy George, Diane Abbot and Nike came along with their woke values and...

    My last girlfriend said I was the most pedantic man alive. I said... I think you'll find I'm actually the 4th most pedantic man alive... (C) some comedian on channel 5 back in the day possibly Tommy Tiernan.

    Is it a proper noun and thus deserved of capitalisation? Asking for a friend.

    The AVFTT elite

    I've worked out that of my 11,000 posts, 540 have contained the word 'Madine' However, the search term 'Gaz' is not accepted by the search engine being too short. So therefore the true number is probably somewhat higher.

    Famous Fans seen at games

    Weird wasn't it?! If it's the same people (and I can't imagine it would be anyone else) they looked more like they were going to Henley Regatta than football. Fair play to them tbf.

    The AVFTT elite

    Do I have to go into a pre qualifying round or is into the group stages automatically based on the AVFTT coefficient?

    Top 10 Finish

    For me, the most disappointing aspect of this season is the way we've almost never managed to change the course of a game.

    Madine

    Do I get some credit for letting 35 posts of a Madine thread go by without commenting?

    Apter (yes again)Today 23/03

    It does doesn't it. I don't watch many games on telly but I watched Leeds Millwall. Leeds were everything we're not. Even when they went backwards it was obvious they were only doing so to reset the next attack. Unpredictable, inventive and energetic. Really enjoyed watching them. I know we're...

    I bumped into TAM at that game. He was cross because he'd decided to go out after the match and hadn't packed his loafers and smoking jacket. Actual true story.

    Football Regulator

    I'd like to see a greater parity but I agree that there's a problem. You give clubs more, players wages go up. Problem remains. Ideally I'd like to see top clubs get less because that might deflate the wages - but then you diminish ability to compete globally. I always come round to a tiered...

    Football Regulator

    I'd definitely agree on grassroots. It's a national disgrace that we don't have an all weather community facility on every street corner and the popularity of football being leveraged to create a healthier and more socially engaged population. It's a right shame if some professional clubs...

    Football Regulator

    To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about regulatory bodies but... The current situation is absurd. The Premier League has effectively created the current situation whereby teams must 'gamble' because of its policy and impact of success breeding success and money breeding money.... (place...

    Football Regulator

    Premier League isn't actually 'broken away' though. There's a mutual relationship between it and the pyramid akin to that of a supermarket and suppliers. At least some of the status and value of the premier league derives from the fact it is at the tip of a pyramid. Without that, it would have...
