Quite amazed. Still, 8 points is nothing this early on tbh.
Think the mancs'll be a banana skin after the international break. They won't want us equalling city's win record - especially not at the "theatre of dreams" (lol).
I expect a bus or three. Either that, or the baby-faced assassin to hit "fuck it" and fire everything they have at us. (Frankly, they've got more chance of a win with the latter, but I reckon they'll go for a draw).

Drink-drive crash footballers spared jail
As much this is a good result for Derby, I can't help but feel that they've largely got away with it because of who they are :\

I'm not sure the punishment fits what I've read of the incident, but then if they had been sent to prison others might of said it was harsh.

When I was young, in the mid seventies, I could go to the shops and buy 8 Blackjack and or Fruit Salad chewy sweets for 1p. Looking back the wrapper on the blackjacks was uncomfortably racist. I guess this is why, given the choice, Manchester City chose to dress up as Fruit Salads today.

It's actually the opposite - it's a supporter saying "we've got Divok Origi - he's got a huge dick".
Same happened with a Sheff Utd player - they have a song about his big dick too - the player used to dance to it on field (what man wouldn't like a song about him having a big dick?).
Sheff has tried to pit a stop to it (resulting in more fans, quite rightly, singing about it). The player is no longer allowed to enjoy it though - he's been told the song he enjoyed, from his fans, about how they admire him, is racist and offensive.
What a bullshit society we live in.

Very innapropriate given its a 'family' game now...beats throwing sharpened coins I suppose.
If a child had walked past the poster as they took the pic..I'm sure things would have escalated pretty quickly.

Not racist though @Job, and not even slightly comparable to throwing sharpened coins.
Anywsy - horrible (but 'comedy' often is - I dkn't personally find it funny, but can see how some would) but shouldn't be criminal.

I'm not a fan of VAR - the atmosphere is being ruined. - James Milner.

Words, Gwad. Words.
No it wasn't. Whatever happened, it certainly shouldn't be a red for Son. The ref gave a yellow then changed his mind when he saw the injury without a VAR review (a review certainly wasn't mentioned). Just a terrible accident (much like Rondon's a couple of seasons ago).
