***Official DERBY DAY MATCH PREVIEW***

[DoomMerchant]

Fantastically fun preview. Having 100 years of history behind actually helps at some things in life it would seem.

Well done siddy-eight

Cheers.

I've been waiting IT for long time and till tonight to experience a full and relaxed enjoyment...

no qualifier needed for Sir John, just a huge THANKS from deep of the heart.

loved that "A similar crowd saw MARIO’S second"

May the Lads live up to the quality of one their biggest fan, and the filth will be doomed.

here's taking another bow.

I'm still pondering whether to read it now or later in the weekend. Is it worth the wait?

I shared the same feeling when early this morning I discovered that the Author had already [strike]discovered[/strike] disclosed his work.
Then I lasted till the aftermath of the dinner...

I guess You are blessed to know him in person, so You already know the answer to your rhetorical question... :-)

Actually, I've never met John. We were supposed to meet up for the FA Cup celebrations as I'd fecked my ticket allocation up, we didn't get the chance as the club phoned me at the ground and sorted them.

I did get to meet Gillie though, brief encounter but nice to put a face to the poster. I've met a few off here and very good people they are. Tt would be nice to get down to the Townley again, early doors to at least have a decent [strike]drink[/strike] meet.

Maybe one day.

lol. I swear I did carefully considered if adding that qualifier, already in reckoning of the outcome... :-)

Alien? if You allow me a little twist of Gordon Sumner, I'd say:

"I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Italian soon to be in Manc [to pass a pint toward you]"


cheers

[Goataldo]

That is class John! Really good stuff. Particularly liked the description of Young as 'dolphinesque'! Hope I haven't jinxed the game now...

[john68]

Thank you for all the kind comments Peeps. Even Gillie was nice to me....SCARY.....Is it an ambush?
(Though I am only posting my gratitude in order to bump it back up again....

Over 350 views and only 28 comments...some of them my own...GUTTED. I give you the best years of my life, slaving over a hot keyboard to make you happy and that is how you treat me? (Learned that sort of comment from my 1st wife).

It's fuclin bad when a poor old man has to fuclin beggin...innit!!!
Luv and sympathy all welcome.

[Beefymcfc]

Still not reading it!

[Swales4ever]

Still not reading it!

that's what I call gut and balls!
I am pussy-esque/childish there...

[Swales4ever]

and worth addittion here too, if I humbly may.

I love to find out Sir John already in full derby mood.
it's definitely increasing since he wrote his superb preview, me think.

[highlight]Just please Sir, take care of Your most valuable coronaries, when/if actually taking part at that BBC 5Live's jousting.[/highlight]

[Beefymcfc]

Tomorrow morning, won't have time after that. This better be good John!

[King Kev]

Welcome to the world of match previews. At least you haven't had anyone bagging it.

[john68]

Hahahahahaha....Sympathy at last from the Dazzler. Hope yer coping with the new stress of success mate.

If, by "bagging it", you mean slagging it off, how could they? It was sheer quality cobber. Something for everyone, stats, intellect, humour and even shit. Not even Gillie could hit me on this one and we all know what a bully he is, with me....:-)
