    Yeah he's a key player for them, theyll call him up regardless even if it's just for the latter stages.
    Weve been so unlucky breaking our transfer record for a player thats been out since September ffs.

    He'll be like a new signing once we finally get him back on the pitch.

    No idea mate , i dont think it works like that now he's at the end of his recovery. Remember when England picked Rooney for a tournament and Beckham when he done his metatarsal in the hope theyd be able to play in the latter stages

    I also think refusing him would cause alot of animosity between him and us. Its every players dream to play for their country

    Sorry if I’ve missed this but what will likely happen with Diarra now?

    RLB said that they were in regular contact with his country’s management team and coaches as they want the best outcome for the player.

    I'm quite positive about this. I wonder how it will actually turn out though as it's actually quite rare for both sides to actually turn up for the Derby in recent decades.

    4-0 to the red and white wizards though. Roefs hat trick

    Don’t be daft man, there’s a decent chance we win this game. Home performances have been excellent so far

    That’s just my genuine feeling about the game, I’m sure some others think the same too. I think it’ll be a cracking match though, especially for the neutral like I said earlier

    But as a derby those who have a proper interest in it, there is no neutral. You're either those lot or red and white

    Before that talk in when Diarra said he'd be back for the derby, I heard he wouldn't be back until the new year. This was from someone who know people from inside the club

    Thanks for the thread @RTB Love the tifo pic :biggrin:

    My daughter is going through a rough patch at the moment. Smashing the mags 3-0 would do her the world of good.

    Hope that Beheddie spontaneously combusts when Mr BROBBEY bags the winner in added time.

    be interesting to see if reinildo goes. was a daft rumour on twitter he complained about late payments from the international team and that's why he didn't play the last run of international games
