What about Sweeney? At least there'd be a better supply of pies on the concourse.

They probably didn't realise until.....now what date was his last game?

I loved the QPR fan (DAVMAN) comment below the article. Now he's a real football fan!

Newcastle in the Cup? Or Celtic in the Anglo-Scottish cup when it is revived 😉 And surely the pre-season game against Barcelona is already being worked on by someone at the club?

No.....just a contrarian 😉 Seriously, I know he was a complete knob, but I was 14 that season and he was a hero just for that time. I took the username as a reminder that childhood heros don't always age well!

Considering the importance of the game, our previous playoff traumas, and going two down so early, this is, in my view, the best Rovers (pound for pound) performance I've seen. I wasn't lucky enough to see the 5-2 Plymouth game which I guess is the nearest comparison. I worked with quite a few Derby fans at the time and they were very fair about this game. One of them memorably said "that was the luckiest 4-2 defeat we've ever had. You absolutely battered us!"

That has to be one of the worst decisions I've ever seen. We were on the Riverside and we all went 'but Newell was behind him when the ball was played'

I bet you can't guess who gave the one vote for Andy Crawford! 😉

On what basis? He may end up better than Scholes, who knows? But better now than a player rated as the best of his era by many top European players?

My take on it is that Adam is probably the more naturally talented player but, AT THE MOMENT, Anderson is being very effective for England and clearly fits with how Tuchel wants to play. Adam needs to take any opportunity to show he is the obvious stand-in for Anderson. I'm not sure he did that last night. It's difficult when you only have limited chances but that's the nature of elite sport. Adam's timing may be unfortunate - he would be ideal in an England team playing possession, using wing backs, etc. but Tuchel's not playing that way. Hopefully he'll get more chances - maybe he will become an impact player coming on for Anderson when the opposition tiring so his killer passing can be really damaging?

My job was to lick the stamps and stick them in the book. Youngest child always got the best jobs 😂

I don't really see the point in that case. I guess Tuchel might be thinking he gives cover in two positions so allows him an extra elsewhere - probably another no.10?

In the words of Ru Paul's drag race - Adam. Don't. Fuck. It. Up!

That drop goal - still one of my greatest sporting memories. Walking off with Leeds fans who, although disappointed they'd lost, were saying what a great moment that was! One bloke said to my dad words along the lines off "well if you have to lose that's the way to lose!"

That was in the time I'd just started going with my dad. We only went to home games then. My earliest memories are of the run to the John Player Trophy final. Beating Leeds I remember was an amazing result. Shame we only started playing at half-time in the final!
