    Who is your favourite ever player for your team? - Paolo Di Canio, crazy genius, Payet could run him close in the next few years though.

    It's really hard to pick just one. I'm going to do top 3 from the 80's 90's 00's and this decade. You'll definitely know of one of them Jordz

    80's 
    Bobby Davison
    Ted McMinn (lost his foot a while ago)
    Dean Saunders
    ..
    Specia mention for Mick Brolly. Don't know if he was any good as I was too young. Great name though.

    90's
    Igor Stimac
    Aljosa Asanovic
    Francesco Biano

    00's 
    Inigo idiekez
    Steve Howard
    Tyrone Mears (only because he showed his love for the club by escaping through a training ground window to sign for a French club)

    10's
    Er pass

    I remember Stimac pretty well, he was a part of our incredibly famous Intertoto cup winning side! Tyrone Mears was a strange one, I remember him being tipped as a potential England player when he joined us, he then got injured after a couple of months and when he came back it was as if they had replaced him with a ringer.
      My favourite player of the 90's was Julian D.icks, he used to sit in the bath with a can of coke and a mars bar up til 5 minutes before kick off and once ruptured his knee ligaments and still played a further 5 games before it was diagnosed after saying he thought it was just a dead leg, you dont get players like that these days.

    Tyrone Mears? City reject.

    Back in the day; Andy Morrison, a thug with a questionable lifestyle who dragged us kicking and screaming out of the old division 2.

    Weaver. Wembley '99, nuff said. When we signed him from Mansfield, he'd only played one competitive game, and shipped 7 in it, so it was a mild gamble. Worked out ok.

    Ali Benarbia. The David Silva of his time. Even better when he teamed up with Eyal Berkovic in the swashbuckling Keegan years.

    But there is a clear favourite for me, someone unlikely to ever be surpassed in legendary status. Stand forward, Shaun Goater.

    Some great shouts there

    Jordz - I don't think Stimac was ever as popular with your lot as with ours? Mears definitely has ability. Very similar at Derby. He was dreadful at first and then got injured. Came back and was a different player. Had his first name on the back of his shirt when he returned because he thought it might change his luck with injuries.

    Weecheez - Intentional dark humour with Ted? :)

    Vespa - Some good 90's Derby names from you there. Morley didn't play for us though!

    Stoke - Surely some others in the present team will get close if they stay with you for long?  A very different Stoke to what we've been used to. Bojan etc

    maybe so jac but im abit cynical and look at them to be using us as a stepping stone and conna really class them as legends so to speak,smithy played all his career at stoke should of played for england imo
    steino although only played for 3 years for us he was a goal machine and it was at a time when i never missed a match all be it in the lower leagues,.oh to be young again eh
    ryan well he,s a collosus for us and has been with us since before promtion to the premiership and should at least be in the england setup if not playing but im bias :)

    Stimic was unlucky with us really he just happened to be around at the same time as Bilic, Ferdinand and Potts who were all club legends, as for my favourite player to play for both West Ham and Derby has to be Paolo Wanchope.

    They will soon move on to bigger and better things ;)

    Wanchope! Something we can all agree on. Didn't he score a hat-trick for Derby at O/T? What a guy!

    Trying to get more balance this month. Not played very much poker. It's gone reasonably ok when I have and I'm up a little bit. Enjoyed the freeROLL last night. Made a tenner :)

    Football was awful yesterday. As one friend said to me, maybe it was better when Nigel was in charge as at least we didn't start with any hope back then.

    First golfing game of the year planned for tomorrow.
    Looking forward to it.

    Really enjoying table tennis and playing every Monday night now. Sadly it means that I miss the Dtd games.

    Halfway through a good book.

    Might get a live game in tonight. I say this a lot and it doesn't happen. Hopefully though tonight will happen.

    Really looking forward to UKPC. Doubt I'll be playing but I'll certainly be drinking and railing a few friends. Meeting up with Jimi, James and the tubby genius is making an appearance as well.

    I'm Paw Patrolled  out I think. Been watching since 7.30

    Pretty sure these nicknames are a form of online bullying. I'm building a case to deliver to SkyKirsty personally.

    Off to see Spurs smash us, marv.

    Live poker is still the nuts. Miss it so much now I don't get to play it much

    Tonight was good.

    Came 2nd for £500

    Buy in was £65 and with drinks I'm pleased to say I've made about £200 on the night.

    Usual stuff live. 7 way limped pots. A player folding 10s preflop when it's folded round to him. Reason being that there was a 10 on the previous flop..

    Credit to the guy who won it. With 7 left and only 5 places he agreed to do 7 places when he was a monster chip leader. Very happy at the time with that as I was the shortest with about 8 bigs. I always deal in these games regardless of whether I have a stack or not, so it was nice when I was short that they all did the deal.

    Last hand i got it in reasonably badly. He'd limped aces and I'd hit bottom pair. I check raised all in. Gg me :)

    Nice binkage.

    Shame about the footie - not the best reaction from having sacked the manager. Most teams react positively, if nothing else it's the players opportunity to show the fans that the manager was to blame and not them.

    Or perhaps they just took the owners quote that promotion is not a priority to heart?

    Well as a small club fan, I do find it fascinating when clubs with expensive squads and large wage bills suddenly start sliding down the league.

    To be fair, it was as predictable as Derby bottling it season after season.

    Need your help

    We're close to convincing CPFC to pop across the water from his mansion in Ireland to see us all next weekend. Just needs a little extra push methinks (maybe a few pics of valets will do it)

    ....

    Not much poker although did play a few dyms last night successfully.

    A lot of films this month.
    Watched Airplane again last night. What a film.
    Saw Wolf of Wall Street again and still love it.
    Pulp Fiction again tonight I think.

    Saw the first new episode of Better Call Saul on Thursday. A great character.
    Need to get back to Narcos. Watched the first few episodes a while back and enjoyed it.

    House of Cards returns soon I believe so looking forward to that.


    Not looking forward to Derbys inevitable defeat to Brentford today

    Narcos is superb!

    Similar to someone else in the news, he married his wife when he was 27 and she was only 15.....he must have signed a lot of cartel football tops for her :)

    I may have misread PNTPP's OP but I am sure he said he wanted to 'encourage' CPFC to come over........;-)
