andyram Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 0 Goals 0 Assists 0 Shots on target 0 Chances created 1 Touch in the opposition box All this could be yours for only £89 million. But for the price tag it could well be a Nigel Pearson signing for Derby County Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cary hill Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Surprised to see our very own Riyad Mahrez heading France Football's "public vote" for the Ballon d'Or with 39% of total votes of 1.8 million votes cast, and Messi (26%) and Ronaldo (20%) trailing in his wake. I can only only assume the poll has been hacked, or Mahrez and Messi being next to one another alphabetically in the voting list has led to miscast votes Still in won't matter in the end, since I understand the final award will be based on the opinions of a select group of journalists who support either Barcelona or Madrid.......(not really).......

andyram Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I hear rumours that a certain Mr Pearson is talking to Wolves. It could make next week's trip to Molineux interesting. For today we got some of the luck that had deserted us all season. Definitely second best in the early stages, should have conceded an early penalty and possibly gone down to ten men. However we created more chances than in several games under Pearson and won the game 2-0. The "Derby Way" is starting to resurface in patches. All we need now is Stevie Mac to realise that Tom Ince is a waste of space and we can make real progress. For now, I will be happy with a run of one defeat in six and the fact we have gone above Nottingham Florest in the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohmisterporter Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Dare I say it but Gary Bowyer seems to be turning things round at Blackpool, five games unbeaten and now in the top half of the table with a long way still to go in the season. Yesterday's win over Notts County included possibly the worst miss of the season: Matt took the ball round the keeper and with the goal gaping he sidefooted the ball across the face of the goal towards the corner flag.He made up for it with a goal later on though. The chairman has gone on record as saying he now regrets suing the supporters who were abusive to him on various forums. Bit late I think. Most fans still want the Oyston family to sell the club and are boycotting the home games in protest. I think this is a wrong move; my view is that with a team struggling in the Conference they will be offered a lower price than if the team is successful in a higher division, so they will not sell up. Therefore we need the team to do well. PS. I still think of the fifth division as the Conference regardless of name changes.

Rivercider Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) PS. I still think of the fifth division as the Conference regardless of name changes. I also still think of it as the Conference, it is also something of an Emergency Ward for ailing ex league clubs, there are currently 13 former league clubs there (albeit some from many years ago, and others are reborn). Having watched five seasons of Conference football I would say that most of the top half of the division is quite as strong as most of the bottom half of league 2, and I think all but about four or five sides are full time outfits, and several have larger playing budgets than much of league 2. cheers Edited November 13, 2016 by Rivercider 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cary hill Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Good to see Jamie Vardy back on form at last, just a pity that his teammates still don't know how to close a game out.

cary hill Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Little old Leicester City won their Champions League Group with a game to spare last night. It's not our fault that the "Big Clubs" were all in a coma last season and we won the Premiership by 10 clear points and got a top seeding and an "easier" group as a result. You still have to beat the other teams in the group, even if Bruges and Copenhagen might struggle in the EFL Championship based on what I've seen of them at the Leicester City (King Power) Stadium. The only worry is that Leicester now have 13 points from 5 Champions League games but only 12 points from 12 Premiership games and we don't want to be only the second relegated reigning Champions in history..........although some people seem to like the idea.....

andyram Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Paul Futcher also donned the black and white of Derby County during his career. Such a sad loss. As for the Rams it seems that Stevie Mac is working his DCFC magic again. A hard fought win against a decent, but out of form, Norwich City side. Suddenly only two points off the play offs. I somehow doubt if Mr Pearson had remained we would have been anywhere near the top six. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
