When it comes to past Derby strikers itโs hard to not mention everyoneโs favourite, Big Steve Howard.
This late winner against Southampton summed him up perfectly. A proper target man who always gave his all for the Derby shirt, oh and that celebration!
Who else misses Big Steve up top? ๐ #DCFC #dcfcfans
The intro to Gazzetta Football Italia, from this day in 1995.
Featuring that changing Channel 4 logo, the instantly recognisable theme music, Gianluca Vialli, Kenneth Wolstenholme, and of course James Richardson.
Pure class. ๐ฎ๐น
"Andy Burnham has launched a scathing attack on 'profiteering' water companies, demanding United Utilities cancel its final dividend payment to shareholders in August."
Now there's something we could all vote for, well done @AndyBurnhamGM
Tip of the hat sir. ๐๐๐

Clint Eastwood has reportedly retired from filmmaking at 96. If this is really it- if Eastwood never walks on another film set again- itโs been absolutely one hell of a ride. I canโt think of a single person who has done more for Cinema than Clint. Heโs an ambassador to film ๐

As is well known, Turki Al-Sheikh has entered into formal negotiations to invest in and acquire Derby County, the English Championship club and one of the 12 founding clubs of the English Football League (1888). The deal is currently in advanced stages and awaits regulatory approval ๐๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
Turki Al-Sheikh held direct talks with club owner David Clowes to offer financial support and acquire a significant stake in the club. This comes as Derby County seeks substantial additional funding to strengthen its squad and compete strongly for promotion back to the Premier League. The club finished last season in eighth place in the Championship, just four points away from the play-offs. While the club boasts technical stability and a large fan base, it lacks the necessary funds to make the major signings needed to secure promotion to the Premier League ๐
The club is undergoing audits by the English Football Association to ensure its independence and compliance with financial regulations. Al-Sheikh's experience leading Almeria from the second division to La Liga (before its subsequent sale) makes his project very promising for a significant leap forward for the English club. The current owner, Klaus, is open to selling, with up to 80% of the shares being offered to the club's strong shareholders, and a substantial financial investment is expected. The chairman of the board is Saudi ๐ธ๐ฆ
This investment, if completed, would be a major step, bringing Al-Sheikh back to European sports investment after his successful experience with Spanish club Almerรญa, and an even bigger step for the prestigious English Derby County โ

@ClarkeMicah@Geordie_grandad The UK really does look Victorian with regards to its attitude towards cannabis. If Germany can legalise its use then perhaps we should consider a grown up debate about the amount of police time and money currently spent on prosecuting its cultivation, distribution and use.
I had my old account hacked ๐ญ so for everyone that knows me could you please retweet and follow (assuming you want to) so I can get my followers back.
Thank you โค๏ธ
@henrywinter@HOMESofFOOTBALL You sell your soul to the devil, don't expect it back.
Not watched a single second of Champions League football this season and I doubt if I'm the only one.
