Total earnings from the two games and from tv was rumoured to be around £700k after deductions.
I think part of the problem is that some fans think we made a fortune out it. We didn't.
The next 5 games will decide Derby's season.
Fulham ( a )
MKDons( h )
Brentfrd ( a )
Blackbrn ( h )
Wolves ( a )
Decent haul from that lot and they can still think about automatic. Continue to struggle and Clement is in big trouble and Derby will be scrabbling for a play-off place again.
and me....just can't stand Howe, with his tight lipped arrogance. Never credits the opposition for anything. As Palace hold no interest for me, was willing them to put one over Mr Smug last night. Gutted with the result, as they are likely to survive now.
I agree.
My main point is that the lack of goals can be attributed to a paucity of service. Think about those defeats and there weren't many clear chances being created by us. Earlier in the season, with KLL, Solly and Bong + Rosenior raiding forward, the forwards were getting on the end of...
The keys to maintaining success this season are : -
1) Stability at the back.
2) Creativity in forward positions.
Two clean sheets in the last 14 games is a clear indication that we have been struggling at the back and its been obvious since the loss of Solly March and the awaited return of KLL...
That's too simple to put it all down to Mullery and Venables.
They may have been the catalyst but there was a serious undercurrent in British football in the 70's and young supporters were looking for more. At Brighton, they couldn't accept our comfortable position of neutrality and realised...
Ah that's another matter. You can't replace lack of free thought, intelligence and common sense. The moronic herd instinct prevails at all levels of football. Tribalism in its purest form.
Mature comment.
Same reaction to those who could never come to terms with Coppell as our manager and still sing about it to this day. Still, I suppose you encounter ignorance in every walk of life, so why should NSC be any different. We have our fair share of knuckle dragging Neanderthals, the...
Why would we be lucky?
We set a new Championship record of games unbeaten at the start of a season. We have suffered a near crippling injury list to a succession of regular first teamers, which would have derailed any other side in this division. We have had a number of dubious decisions go...
Nor me.
They started with only 4 points out of the first 15 and this current run has yielded only 2 points out of 15. Out of the remaining 18 games they have got 43 points, which is mightily impressive and indicates how powerful they are when they get going.
There is a lot of luck involved in avoiding too many injuries. Thus far, all the leading sides ( top 8 ) have enjoyed a better run than us. We are starting to turn the corner now and players are returning. Boro and Derby are faltering at the mo with pretty strong squads available and Hull and...
Must confess, I agree.
I know a Derby fan and he said to me a few weeks ago...." Once you ( BHA ) get a few injuries, you'll be scuppered, you haven't got the depth of squad that we have "
I replied..." We'll see "
( Which reminds me....must give him a ring )
Oh, I don't know. Could be quite amusing....as the North Stand choruses....( to the tune of ' Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep ' )
" Last night I heard my missus go out the door....oo wee Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep "
" Got on the phone to Francesca, the whore ".....oo wee Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep " etc
Absolutely they will. Without TV money, a whole host of clubs are insolvent and will go out of business. Their wage bills are unsustainable without TV revenue or a hugely wealthy benefactor.
Chelsea's annual wage bill eats up 3 years of TV revenue ( existing deal )
Are we sure we want to be saddled with Wiggins. I would put a brake on the deal until we know that our interest in Pelaton has finished. It will be a tour de force to have Bong and Rosenior both back and I would let Wednesday peddle him around other clubs first.
Quite.
It doesn't take much for the pendulum of fickleness to swing above or below the line. One minute its all doom and gloom and here comes mid-table mediocrity. The next minute its...bring them on for a hammering. Still, a win is a win and it may kickstart us again, so its renewed optimism...
Thoroughly enjoyed it and can recommend it.
Interesting to see the respective characters of Davis and Higgins played out and how it translated to ultimate success. Then, substitute those two for Hendry and White and you have the same scenario. Two ruthless, single-minded professionals against...
