“wonder if paul jewel next comment will be " we will have longer to prepare for next season than anyone else so we will hav an advantage so i guarantee promotion from division 1"”

“When done Billy. Actually it is possible that Harold has lost his last 36 verbal jousts - but we do not keep referring to his record as much as we could. When are you going to win your next Nottingham verbal joust Harold? I see that you are using the word Straw as one of your names. Ray Straw was an exciting Derby centre forward - brilliant with his head and part of a great team. His team mate Dennis Woodhead fought against Germany in WW2 and was a great left winger - Harold what time have you got for engaging with life [not war obviously] like Dennis Woodhead? - other than to tire yourself out with the time you have spent on 36 straight joust losses?”

“I don't have the time to stick around here all day but I must comment on something that is staring me in the face, it would seem that our tree lovers from down the road are desperate to get our manager out, I not only on see it on the message boards but hear it in my area (a town split 50-50 rams & reds). They know Jewell will turn it around soon and the fact that they feel insecure because they have a fear of the unknown in this league, they are trying to manufacture a tougher struggle for us than they are in for. They know that if PJ was sacked now it would put us in a very unstable situation yet agai, they see that as an opportunity to finish above us, (mind you I think we will need to end the season in the bottom 8 for that to happen). Sacking the manager at this stage will cost us a lot of money and valuable time for a new man to get to know the same squad, more importantly we would lose the opportunity to prove we can bounce back from last years adversity despite all the press snipers and faceless voices that sensationalise our recent demise simply because they can. A rally call to all true fans, stand up proud like a Ram, don't follow the 'Jewell Out' campaign like sheep. He WILL turn it around, the football was much improved at Barnsley and so we are moving forward, nothing was ever won before Christmas and I want to see where we are after 10-12 games not 4. Improvement has to be measured by performances first, then the points will follow, If the man who brought them to the club is sacked at this stage they would undoubtably lose more confidence, we have to ride it out and SUPPORT.
Come on you Rams!”

“I'm not trying to compare the current team with the present or BC with PJ. I'm just pointing out that after his first complete season BC's team ended up with 38 points, and one point above being relegated. The point is that even the greatest motivator with some great players made us suffer a complete season before he began to get it right.”

“lets get this into perspective, you are trying to compaire paul jewell to brian clough, you are comapring roy mac, john o, alan hilton, kevin hector and alan durban to claude davis, andy todd, jay mac, robbie savage and kaz, are you feeling ok? to the best of my knowledge mr clough did get more than 6 points out of a possible 90 in his first 30 games, in fact those days it would have been out of a possible 60 points, your mind is still clouded by the spin jewell keeps regurgatating, but it will change, as it proved in the crowd on saturday”

“Those of us with long memories can recall that the great Brian Clough's first season at Derby ended just one point clear of relegation into the 3rd division. That was after signing Roy Mac, John O'Hare and Alan Hinton. King Kevin Hector and Alan Durban were already there. So I'm afraid it takes a bit longer than 4 games for a team to start playing together.”

“nice to see the new signings have blind faith, it wont be too long before stweart will be thinking of "doing a mears" your lot have alread put the saying "doing a derby" on the map so why not "doing a mears" you couldnt write this stuff and think it be possible”

“yeh both teams got new managers in when near the bottom.get jewel out NOW”
