Bloody hell, is that a current Derby player? He looks older than me and I'm 45!

Paulo Sousa's one season in charge saw us deliver some of the most mind-numbingly boring football I'd witnessed up to that point in my life. Many of the same players delivered far more exciting football the following season under Brendan Rodgers (and indeed many had done so the previous season...

Wordle 1,700 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨🟨🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I look at the stats on Wordle Bot after finishing the puzzle. The 38th most popular guess on turn 1 today (0.4% of all players) was the correct answer. For all those who've seen the answer today, it's clearly not a guess most people would make. So...

Thanks for all the replies everyone and will gladly receive the list Phil has offered. I had a few hundred thousand in various savings accounts before buying an new house outright. Once we completed the sale of our old house (and I get my higher rate LTT refund), I'll have about half of what I...

I'm looking to speak to an IFA about investing, pension advice, etc. Could anyone offer any recommendations based on personal experience please? I'm in Penllergaer, so Swansea based would be preferred. TIA. (I know we had a thread about this at one point, but can't remember if it was this...

Lots of supposition in this post, at least some of it is bound to be wrong. Fisher's performances this season showed him to be perfectly adequate backup for our undisputed first choice keeper. This news would normally provoke minimal reaction, but he's tainted in the eyes of some for his...

I'd have more respect for him if he stuck by his original comments, even though I disagree with them. Offering the classic non-apology of 'sorry if anyone was offended' is a pathetic cop-out.

Not a good look to sack a manager when he's sent out a team that can create that many opportunities but couldn't hit a barn door. Would be delicious if Nuno keeps West Ham up at Forest's expense.

I would factor in that the wages on offer in the Championship are likely on par/higher than what's available at the majority of top-flight clubs in other leagues across Europe outside the big boys/Champions League regulars. I'm sure clubs across Europe were in for Vipi when he was suddenly a...

That was a very different free-kick to Vip's and taken by an acknowledged set-piece expert who most definitely practices those in training. Vip's was like Baka says, he picked his spot and leathered it. Szoboszlai's moved all over the place, a brilliant hit. I'd say it was a one in a million hit...

Technically he was at exactly the same level. Except he went from playing in the Europa League to the Champions League. I do appreciate your overall point though, just enjoying a bit of pedantry.

You don't have to be Captain Hindsight to see that appointing Sheehan turned out to be the wrong decision. It's also easy to see a Sliding Doors alternate reality where we appointed Hellberg instead of the interim manager who'd delivered a great run of results and guided us to mid-table...

Slight difference in that Bony was highly successful at the top level, he had 25 goals in 54 PL games for us (a better goalscoring record than Michu). Vipotnik hasn't played a minute in the PL. His scoring record at Man City was OK, if not great, given he struggled for regular minutes. Not a...

It was a brilliant free kick, but I'm not so sure Vipi will be on all free kicks around the opposition box going forward. The placement of it meant he could just hit it as hard as he could, which was pretty damn hard. If other free kicks are in positions where he needs to curl it past a wall...

You can't hope for no bitching on here mun, that's literally never happened. There's plenty of point scoring, saying 'I told you so' and bitching about players positions to be found, but by JA standards, it's pretty much Shangri-La tonight.
