FULL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hull 0, Derby 1 It looked like a nervous stalemate for so long.... #dcfcfans #dcfc

It may be ‘awful April’, but it starts well for around 2m workers on the minimum wage, which has risen 6.7 per cent, from £11.44 to £12.21 an hour. Minimum wage youth rates are rising even faster too – to £7.55 for 16-17 year olds, and £10 for 18-20 year olds.

Really enjoyed listening to this interview with Malcolm Christie earlier. I don't think we will see many players come through from non-league straight to the Premier League again. #dcfc #dcfcfans www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

What a week. What a day. 3 wins in a row. 3 goals and 3 points today. Delighted for Harness. Armstrong continues to ooze class. Defence, despite a few shaky moments, headed everything and defended well. Momentum. Belief. We’ve definitely got it. A game we would’ve lost a few weeks ago. #dcfcfans

Oh my, that was an awesome display by Derby. They did not stop all game. Every player gave it their all for the shirt. . Was a privilege to see. The change in Marcus Harness is unbelievable. Just shows what a good coaching can do. In Eustace, we believe! COYR 🐏 #dcfc #dcfcfans

Another massive win and cracking atmosphere tonight. The table is looking very different to this time last week. COYR! #dcfc #dcfcfans

Great win today. Feel for @bbcderbysport.bsky.social though. What can they moan about now other than the club not giving them exclusive interviews as if they have a device right? #dcfc #dcfcfans

Not feeling optimistic for #dcfc today, but we always have more downs than ups. Well be interesting to see the line up seen as most the squad is on the physios treatment table #dcfcfans

The day rate at the nursery we use for our 2 was c.£50 in 2017, it is now nearly £90. The problem is profit gready owners not government.

This is really interesting and shows that a greener, cleaner future will save people money.

I don't believe Suella Braverman would defend her 5-6 generation claim against all specific 1-3 gen cases Uses her lack of English Identity + Asian ethnicity to argue something I don't believe any Cons MP who does identify as English would say: Rashford & Ince, Rooney, Kane or Moeen aren't English!

To think that anyone let alone a high profile politician can be say overtly racist is a sad indictment of how far right the tories have gone. My grandparents were Polish so on this basis I'm not English, I don't feel Polish so does this warped ideology make me a nomad?

Ebou as #dcfc captain, sounds good to me #dcfcfans

Eustace is in the building. It's taken a while, but if he can replicate his success at Blues & Blackburn then it's with the wait & we have a bright future #dcfc #dcfcfans www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2025/02...

For Cashin on a personal level he couldn't miss out on the PL again, and we have got double what we would have got for him a year ago. He was an absolute rock at an incredibly difficult time, now only Tommo is left from the "golden generation" of the academy. #dcfc #dcfcfans

If #dcfc do sign Langas then that sounds like a good replacement. He has just broken into the Norway team and is 24 so had his best years to come. #dcfcfans

🤞I don't care if it bounces off someone's back side. We need to take advantage of this and break our bad run #dcfc#dcfcfans

Colin Moynihan, Karren Brady, Lord Pannick - they've trawled a cast of footballing wrong'uns from a variety of decades to sabotage this bill

As @priceoffootball.bsky.social has highlighted this is all legit and nothing to do with certain Lords having interests in Premier League teams.

The Leyton Orient cup tie has suddenly morphed from a chance to rest key players to an absolute must-win. Windfall money from a full Pride Park v Man City in the fourth round could sign #dcfc a new player. What an opportunity...

Midweek trip to London then, but on the plus side let's hope the extra rest can help us pick up our league form.

After an early start, there is no better way to be welcomed into London for a work day than the impressive architecture of St Pancras Station

Good to see Severn Trent are being held to account for their expectation of customers funding investment while executives cream off huge bonuses. It's not fair.

Great win today. Derby showed fight & spirit and took our chances. This season is proving better than I expected and if we can keep adding to the squad in the summer then top half could be a reasonable target next season. #dcfc #dcfcfans

What a brilliant win. We know the football isn’t perfect, but I can’t understand some Derby fans hate for Warne. Any Derby side showing that effort, energy, desire and pure bloody heart is alright by me #dcfc #dcfcfans 🖤 🐏

Truth behind GE petition as identities behind signatures debunked Thousands of those who have signed aren't even living in the UK. In fact the petition has been signed by people based across a whopping 184 countries. Numbers soared after Musk shamelessly shared it www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The council are crazy here. Unless there is a demonstrable breach to the licence with consistent loud noise, increased risk to people's safety etc then they should have told residents not to buy a house near a pub. People socialising make noise, end of!

I always try to use this word as it sounds just as good as its meaning. But when the moment to dig it out of my'extensive' vocabulary comes I usually forget.

After 2 seasons in League 1, having international breaks again now we are back in the Championship is making this season feel very bity. Can't wait to have football back next weekend #dcfcfans #dcfc
