A floating arm chair!
ok, ok, so there's little to be happy about. A tragic thrashing away from home and an injury to our pivotal forward but take a look up the A52?
Barnsley, without a point to their name so far this season, welcomed the woolly folk with open arms because if you are going to break your duck then who better to face than Derby County at the moment?
To make life a little funnier Paul Jewell said that he thought that this was Derby's best performance of the season and couldn't understand how they had got beaten. I'll help him, "they scored twice and you didn't". There we go, now he can start to comprehend what happened.
After causing a bigger rib splitter than a Lee Evans tour, last season in the premiership, Jewell has managed to dump Derby at the bottom of the Championship table. On Saturday Jewell was appealing for leniency towards under pressure managers. Of which he is one.
"Look at my record before I got to Derby" crowed the sweaty porn star. "I kept Wigan up and two successive promotions before that, doesn't that count for anything?" The answer, sadly for Jewell is no. Fan's are fickle in football, there are people at Old Trafford who question Fergie, and he's won everything the game has to offer.
Stop crying about your inevitable sacking and place your fait in the hands of the Pre-Madonna's you call players. We all blame the gaffer but we also understand it's the players that decide games.
By the time you read this the Transfer window will be bolted shut and you'll be left with the players you've got but has anybody noticed the 24 hour deadline change?
The reason given for this, by most European FA's. Is that the current 31st deadline is a Sunday? What? So it's alright for the pen pushers at the FA to work till Monday but on a Sunday, oh no! Pathetic.
I spent my Sunday at Swindon Town's County Ground, all for a good reason of course. I was asked to provide the training to group of budding commentators. The RNIB provide training sessions al over the country, firstly to progress their current crop and secondly to find some rough gem for them to work with.
In the absence of a member of the BBC i was perceived as the next best thing. So, if in a few years one of the group progresses further than i have managed so far and you hear them say something infuriating during a commentary, then please don't blame me, even though it probably will be my fault!
Away from football, I was travelling down to Swindon on the Saturday afternoon in preparation for the course on Sunday and I had to chuckle. The route is not the simplest, via Derby, Birmingham and Cheltenham Spa, but as the train rushed past Tamworth we came across a river. Not unusual I know.
But when said river has an arm chair floating across the top it makes things a little serial, although I did think of Paul Jewell!
The Reds
Short and sweet this week. Get back on the horse and start again.
Ok, so we were punished for a less than convincing defensive display on Saturday but we mustn't dwell on the anguish. Dust your selves off guys, regroup and come back after the international break stronger and hungrier. Hopefully with a less depleted squad.
let's brush this one under the carpet and move on. Bring on Burnley at the City Ground and let's see that Red flag flying high again.
